But the Alabama Supreme Court ruled against hanging onto ballot data for up to six months in anticipation of potential recounts and contention. Now that the (shudder) Democrat won, is that all out the window?

More nuance than I expected.

I am going to absolutely crank Ani DiFranco’s track “Hello Birmingham” in appreciation of them. I don’t even care that its tone doesn’t fit this moment.

This is exactly what I didn’t know that I needed to see. Thanks for the share, Stef.

For you.

Seconded. I really enjoyed seeing the interspersed shots of the tracks components on the mixer—a great way to show all the layers of work put in and keep the video visually varied.

I’m surprised you didn’t say it this way:

Wonderfully said. I’m just so sorry that it seems every facet of work/interests/life has these horrid expectations and additional work placed upon women in a given field—I read the final line and thought Oh, fuck, and it’s not any better in Meteorology, is it?

My first thought after suffering through all of those comments:

I want to scream at every single person there (save for the interviewer and the camera crew). I am quaking with rage right now.

I’d never heard of that being suggested, and that car was already beat to hell—so, I did not. I might try to keep it in mind for future cars, though. Thanks.

I’m certainly with you there. Sorry I stirred the pot a bit much.

Motorsports is prohibitively expensive, and I imagine it still being seen as a “man’s world” means that many women who have interest don’t pursue it because of the limited success rate. A smaller pool of women drivers means that even if someone has that rare caliber of talent, funding, mechanical issues or the like…

Here to help.

I like where you’re head’s at. Bring a couple people for a video crew.

I may just be viewing the answer as much simpler (possibly over-simplifying it, but it’s been colored as such by my ideals): when women show potential and ability as drivers, I want that to be rewarded with opportunities. Then I hope their lap times and results can stand on their own. Racing at its heart is about…

...And made Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (of “Idiocracy”) look diplomatic and well-tempered.

You’re asking for a “consistent performance delta between the genders” (sorry, I don’t do the engineering terms, so I’m a little lost as to exactly what you’re asking for out of the pools) but the fact is that kind of thinking that women must satisfy a prerequisite before being considered as capable of equality (and…

I have a simple solution. Race her for it.
