Last chance to vote in Texas' election runoffs, which end at 7 PM (EDIT: a few areas still have voting until 8 PM). If we're ending up with the GOP winning again, these guys would all at least run the government better than Ken Paxton: John Cornyn for Senate, Chip Roy for AG, Jim Wright for Railroad Commissioner, and Alison Fox for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/texas-senate-runoff-results

BBC News | Texas accuses Netflix of spying on users, including children

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Netflix, alleging the streaming service secretly gathers and monetises extensive data on both adults and children in the state—including detailed logs of clicks, viewing duration and lingering habits—while using “addictive” design features such as auto‑play to keep users hooked, in violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The complaint claims Netflix, which had previously marketed itself as a privacy‑friendly alternative to other tech firms, actually shares the extracted data with commercial brokers, thereby breaching the trust of Texan subscribers. Netflix’s spokesperson called the lawsuit meritless and said the company complies with privacy laws and will fight the case in court. The suit seeks deletion of all data collected from Texans, an end to targeted‑advertising processing, and a default disabling of auto‑play for children’s profiles.
