For years, Vice President JD Vance has railed against universal child care
and made snide comments about working families with little ones at home.
On Twitter in 2021, he claimed that “normal” non-affluent Americans prefer “a family policy that doesn’t shunt their kids into crap daycare so they can enjoy more ‘freedom’ in the paid labor force.”
Of course, no parents want their kids in “crap daycare.”
But what American mothers prefer is far more complicated than Vance’s…

Opinion | JD Vance Doesn’t Want to Help Married Parents. He Wants to Hurt Single Mothers.
Redistributing money from single working parents to married ones is not a pro-family policy.

Antarctica gained a record 695 billion tons of ice. Scientists found the surprising reason
East Antarctica gained an astonishing 695 billion tons of ice between 2021 and 2023, temporarily slowing Antarctica’s long-term decline. Researchers found that warming thousands of miles away in the tropical ocean altered atmospheric circulation and funneled moisture toward the continent, triggering exceptionally heavy snowfall.

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption
Gregor Schubert
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.11626 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.11626 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.11626
arXiv:2608.11626v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.

RE: #Trump

January 6 2021 is widely remembered as a deadly insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump;
But for Congressman Jared Huffman, who was locked down alone in his office that day, something else stands out.
It was a very Christian coup.
“This Christian nationalist movement that I had seen growing so much stronger and more militant during my time in Congress erupted in plain view,”
Huffman, 62, says by phone from his home in Marin county, California.

Making a Game in Janet, Part 3: The problem with macros
So we’re supposed to be writing a game, right? But in order to make progress, we have to fix a bug. And in order to fix the bug, we have to write a test. And in order to write a test, we have to write a test framework. And in order to write a test framework, we have to understand a thing or two about macros. Okay. So, caveat: I am not a lisp person. I didn’t know very much about macros going into all of this – and I still don’t. But when I started writing Judge I knew, like, only the ab…
