    os.umask(current_umask := os.umask(0))

    This isn't clearly *better*, but at least it's clearly shorter. Without `:=`, we'd need two lines:

    os.umask(current_umask)

    Note: The awkwardness is a necessary consequence of how POSIX handles umask. Also, neither version is threadsafe.

  5. Today was the final "public" hearing of the Alabama Redistricting Committee.

    THERE IS NO SCENARIO where Republicans in the legislature have NOT been drawing their own plans. But after extensive questioning, they refused to say when any of their maps would be available for review.

    Everyone is expected to vote on these unseen plans early next week.
