New: Texas AG Ken Paxton subpoenaed 404 Media for confidential reporting about an internal Google privacy incident database we pubbed in June. If Paxton wants the database, he can get it directly from Google. Our lawyers formally objected to the subpoena: 404media.co/404-media-obje…

The Nuna TRVL LX is basically perfect for anyone. I love this stroller. There's another brand of stroller that's way overhyped (review TK) but Nuna, imo, is far superior consumerreports.org/babies-kids/st…. .
