Mac Jones recalls 'crazy journey' to 49ers after being passed over during 2021 NFL Draft https://www.nfl.com/news/mac-jones-crazy-journey-49ers-passed-over-2021-nfl-draft

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.

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.

Security Vulnerability Patterns in AI-Generated Code: A Cross-Model Comparative Study
Shanna M. Kahn, John D. Hastings
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20713 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20713 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20713
arXiv:2607.20713v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: LLM-based coding tools enable non-expert users to generate routine automation scripts that may enter enterprise workflows without meaningful security review. This study examines that risk directly. Code was collected from ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini using identical prompts across three automation domains. Claude Code performed a standardized vulnerability review. Each identified vulnerability was scored using CVSS v3.1 and mapped to the OWASP Top 10:2021 and the MITRE ATT&amp;CK frameworks. Every script contained exploitable vulnerabilities. Nine of the 17 identified vulnerability classes appeared in code from all three models, while 14 of the 17 vulnerability classes appeared in at least two models. The weighted CVSS scores across platforms differed by less than 10%. The risk is not tied to any particular model but rather to the task category. Organizations should therefore ask not which tool to trust, but instead whether LLM-generated automation code should be deployed without review.

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.
