And then these people frequently have the gall to look down on romance, fantasy and their hornier siblings when *their* books are just as obviously micro targeted to them as the regular crop of TikTok-aligned books are.

There's only 2 genres of capital L lit any more: books that flatter readers with faux literary style, and books that flatter readers by depicting their lives with faux discerning irony. And, like, it works? Look at comments to obvious examples - boy people are so happy to be flattered.

If for whatever reason you used to be a real piece of shit, and now you look back on that period of your life with regrets, that is good and laudable, and also, there might be some jobs that you shouldn't have. I do not find this to be especially complicated.

With very ominous language, Justice Elena Kagan says that today’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais ends the Supreme Court’s “now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” 6-to-3 vote in favor of white voters who challenged a Black-majority district in La. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Second (and last) #SCOTUS ruling is the big one, Louisiana v. Callais. For a 6-3 majority (Rs v. Ds), Justice Alito purports to narrow the ability of states to draw majority-minority districts as a remedy for race-based vote dilution, but, per Kagan's dissent, comes pretty close to gutting the VRA:

LANDMARK DECISION — The Supreme Court has narrowed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act with their decision in Louisiana v. Callais, opening the door to sweeping redistricting changes across the South that could erase up to 10 majority-Black seats and flip them from blue to red.

More Kagan: "[Callais] will effectively insulate any practice, including any districting scheme, said by a State to have any race-neutral justification.... Section 2 will play no role. “Whatever”—whatever—results from the State’s asserted justification is all its minority citizens are entitled to."
"Today’s majority does not. Its supposed “updating” of
Gingles overthrows Congress’s decision to make Section 2
liability hinge on an electoral practice’s effects—on how it
actually works. The new Callais requirements will effectively insulate any practice, including any districting
scheme, said by a State to have any race-neutral justification. That justification can sound in traditional districting
criteria, or else can sound in politics and partisanship. As
to the latter, the State need do nothing more than announce
a partisan gerrymander. Assuming the State has left behind no smoking-gun evidence of a race-based motive (an
almost fanciful prospect), Section 2 will play no role.
“Whatever”—whatever—results from the State’s asserted
justification is all its minority citizens are entitled to. Ante"
