The Supreme Court appears poised to deliver yet another win for the US Constitution by striking down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that prohibits race-based discrimination when drawing legislative district maps. America no longer has a problem when it comes to voters of certain races being disenfranchised, and you can tell it’s not an issue by how great race relations are in America right now.
What strikes me repeatedly when examining the results of randomised experiments is how closely they resemble theoretical models.

Guest blog post by Angie Forson, Web and Digital Programme Lead, Southwark Council.
The Web and Digital team at Southwark Council, along with our partners at Chicken, is building an AI-powered PDF importer for the LocalGov Drupal Publication Module. Together, we’re unlocking a faster, more accessible, and more collaborative future for publishing.
Why this matters
Manual PDF conversion can take hours – sometimes days. With our importer, it happens in minutes – often under one minute. Multiply that across thousands of PDFs, and the time savings are game-changing.
I’m excited about the impact this product will have — not just for our users, but also in transforming how we design, build, and create content internally. We’re shaping a future where services start with HTML-first thinking.
