On May 2, 2024, Arizona governor Katie Hobbs signed a bill to repeal a near-total abortion ban from 1864 that the Arizona Supreme Court had reinstated on April 9, 2024.
The ban was not enforced by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, and the repeal took effect on September 14, 2024.
As a result of 2024 Arizona Proposition 139, the Arizona constitution codifies legal abortion up to the point of fetal viability

Arizona voters approve amendment enshrining abortion rights in state constitution
NBC News projects the constitutional amendment has won enough votes to pass. It’s one of 10 pro-abortion rights measures on the ballot across the country Tuesday.

En France, les émissions de CO₂ en 2024 et en 2025 ont baissé plus qu’anticipé
Le centre interprofessionnel technique d’études de la pollution atmosphérique a rapporté que les émissions de gaz à effet de serre ont baissé de 3 % en 2024 et de 2,1 % l’année suivante, alors que la dernière estimation envisageait plutôt des baisses de l’ordre de 1,8 % et de 1,5 %.

Got my power bill for May. Net consumption was 2.73 MWh, an all-time low by a signficant margin (3.3 MWh in April 2026, and 3.77 MWh in July 2024, are the previous records).
The final bill after taxes and fees was $595, not *quite* an all time low (I paid $582 in July 2024) but that was for 3.7 MWh and I'm now paying almost as much for 2.7 - yay rate increases. If I can generate a touch more solar in June I might break the all-time low though.

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.
