More post-racial analysis.

So now unless there’s a paper trail specifically saying their intention is to gerrymander based on race, it doesn’t matter at all how badly they gerrymander based on race.

You don’t need to pretend like this was a well reasoned decision from SCOTUS just because you like the outcome.

This was the majority decision in regards to Gingles: “none of the historical evidence presented by plaintiffs came close to showing an objective likelihood that the State’s challenged map was the result of intentional racial discrimination.”

Catch the third to last word? It’s new to that test. Why is it new 60 years after the statute? Because the right-leaning justices just don’t think this statute is relevant anymore and they’re rendered it useless now with this new standard in deference to political gerrymandering.

He (Alito) also wrote: “things have changed dramatically’” in the South “in the decades since the passage of the Voting Rights Act.” When the law was enacted “the Nation had faced nearly a century of ‘entrenched racial discrimination in voting,’” but “Black voters now participate in elections at similar rates as the rest of the electorate.”

A post-racial narrative that isn’t even relevant. Them being able to cast ballots doesn’t really matter if their voice is gerrymandering out of the political process, and apparently the only solution to it is the political process (“so good luck with that”).

You ever hear the saying, "if you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit?"

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.
