Still salty that RBG did not strategically retire
So @elienyc.bsky.social and @strictscrutiny.bsky.social have speculated that Alito may retire soon. I agree. Elie lays out the case here—it'd be odd to release a memoir in October if he's (a) still serving and (b) unable to promote it because he's hearing arguments. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Is Samuel Alito Preparing to Disrobe?
In this installment of Elie v. US, our justice correspondent explores the week’s big legal news, including a possible Alito retirement. Also, the anti-trans mob’s latest target: tight clothing.

– Machine gets confused and fails when big dependencies like AWS SDK are involved

Accessibility suggestions for maps on the web
some improvements to web map libraries id propose: geocoding the location of marker clusters and including it in the aria-label; marker clusters current aria-label is typically set as "marker cluster of 36". someone using AT & going through a list of marker clusters just gets numbers of markers!

Most mundane celebrity encounter:
Steve Kerr passed by me with his little wheelie bag in the security line at Oakland airport on his way to the Clear terminal, he did not pay attention to the Curry 30 jersey guy in front of me. Pretty sure he was headed to pre-Paris training for Team USA that day.

what is YOUR most mundane celebrity encounter?
I walked past Alex Trebek at the MSP airport. Our eyes met, and the look he gave me said, "Don't you dare try to talk to me." So, I just kept walking.

Fighting with Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss over some on-sale towels at the old Broadway department store in Century City, circa 1980. (I won. No blows were landed.)

NEW: A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files.
404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

I just finished doing a talk on this for Stanford Libraries’ Love Data Week
Of course, they privately know all about it. There was an infamous 2012 Republican State Leadership Committee memo about the success of Project REDMAP in gerrymandering Republicans a House majority despite losing the popular vote in that year

💥Bombshell, sort of: Polish PM @donald-tusk.bsky.social is the first world leader, as far as I know, to say out loud that Jeffrey Epstein may have worked with Russian intelligence.
As Poland’s PM pledges a serious investigation, one uncanny question remains: how much will US authorities cooperate?
