“Buildings are the single largest energy consumer in Europe. Transposition and implementation of the #EPBD is key to boosting the EU's current very low annual energy renovation rate (1%), reducing bills for citizens and businesses and the EU's dependence on imported fossil fuels, and achieving a zero-emission and fully decarbonised building stock by 2050.”

A national poll released this week by The New York Times and Siena University found that Democrats entered the fall with an advantage of nearly nine percentage points over Republicans on the congressional ballot
— an edge similar to 2018, the last time there was a so-called blue wave.
“Republicans are panicking and are on the brink of losing the House, with the Senate not far behind,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the minority leader, said in an interview.

"which emojis are used the least often?" - Great question, and we rarely find data on this! But luckily, we studied this at least for two corpora with German users (and admittedly only for face emojis). So: Many object or symbol emojis (from the "tail end" of the emoji list) are very, very rarely used. Overall, faces and hearts are the most frequent. Among the face emojis, we compiled the full list of usages from a huge Twitter corpus (semi-public communication, 2014-2022) and a much small WhatsApp chat corpus (private or group communication). You can find the frequencies in this table linked below (and sort by frequency by clicking on the column). The least frequent face emoji in the large corpus was the "frowning face with open mouth" 😦, which most people have never seen before. Personally, I think it's pretty ambiguous and not very useful, as there are better emojis for anything it might express. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Luckily, I only rarely get calls on my mobile phone—a not-smart-at-all Nokia 3210 (2024). But every time I wonder: is the voice quality of smartphone so much better? I see people happily talking on their smartphones in the metro or the bus, where it's extremely noisy. But I hardly understand a word on the Nokia, even in the best circumstances.

The average global temperature for the last 12 months (July 2025 to June 2026) was 0.55°C above the 1991-2020 average, and 1.43°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average.

"Some designs of emojis are very different for the same codepoint, especially the ones depicting emotions/reactions. Examples coming to mind are 😨, 🔫. What are your thoughts on this?" - The (water) pistol 🔫 was originally a hand gun which looked a lot more real. In response to its frequent use in criminal or other unsavory contexts (e.g., as a threat), most platforms replaced it with the colorful plastic toy gun design in 2018. (In 2024, Elon Musk had it turned back into a realistic hand gun for the Twemoji design 🙄)
I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't think we can stay on top of all potential uses of emojis (or should even try to limit them) and people who want to use emojis for threats probably can still do so. On the other hand, I do find it rather hard to imagine that the green plastic 🔫 could be used as a threat... so... I guess good job, designers/tech firms? #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption
Gregor Schubert

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.
