The Texas attorney general and Republican nominee for a US Senate seat appears to have used an address where he didn’t llive while voting in six recent elections — despite his warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/07/ken-paxton-voting-election-law/
While off for school over the summer, my teenager has got into biking and is going miles each day. He's using some random app to track himself, and I suspect it's mining his data. He likes to see how fast he's going, how far he's traveled, and so on.
Anyone know a good paid-for or open source app that isn't going to sell his location? Must be Android.
Boosts appreciated!

Einmal kurz abtauchen, Ruhe, Stille, sich Zeit für sich selbst nehmen.
Kommt gut und erholt durch den Sonntag.

@artemis Oscar Wilde, a fuckin rich man, got it:
"Sometimes the poor are praised for being thrifty. But to recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. For a town or country labourer to practise thrift would be absolutely immoral. Man should not be ready to show that he can live like a badly-fed animal."
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

1. Got to see my favorite movie (Casablanca) with my husband, daughter, and daughter-in-law
2. Followed by a nice "picnic" dinner (indoors, it's too hot to go outside)
3. Dogs survived last night's fireworks and hopefully will survive tonight's.
There are two races, white and political.
There are two genders, male or political.
There are two sexual orientations, straight or political.
