EpsteIn—as in, Epstein and LinkedIn—searches your connections on the social network for names that match those in the released files.

A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files, just in case you don’t, understandably, want anything to do with them on the already deranged social network.

404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—as in, a mash up of Epstein and LinkedIn—and it appears to work.

“I found myself wondering whether anyone had mapped Epstein’s network in the style of LinkedIn—how many people are 1st/2nd/3rd degree connections of Jeffrey Epstein?” Christopher Finke, the creator of the tool, told 404 Media in an email. “Smarter programmers than me have already built tools to visualize that, but I couldn’t find anything that would show the overlap between my network and his.”

    I kind of dove a bit deeper into that kind of shenanigans for nursing school - copying entire chapters from my text books and using find and replace wildcards clip out all the bullshit like in-text citations.

    Plug that fucker into some text-to-speech software, and my reading assignment just became a listening assignment!

    I do wish I knew some actual code… I’ve tried to dive in and self-learn that stuff, but didn’t make it very far.

    I should take an actual class.
