Go Texans!
I saw this in the Chron a couple or so days ago:
Four judicial candidates withdrew from their 2026 election bids after incumbent judges and other Democratic opponents filed lawsuits alleging their candidacy filings contained forged signatures and other irregularities.
And this:
The complaints from (Carlos) Aguayo and (Stephanie) Morales, who hired the same lawyer to file similar pleadings, alleged Jaivan Smith, a signature collector for judicial candidates seeking a place on the primary ballot, personally forged dozens of signatures on behalf of both Eady and Mathis. Complaints challenging the filings noted alleged similarities between Smith’s handwriting and that of dozens of purported residents who pledged their support for the Democrats.
“The petition pages circulated by Jaivan Smith exhibit massive systematic handwriting irregularities, including near identical letter formation, slant and stroke patterns across multiple signed entries appearing on the same petition pages,” read the complaints. “These observable similarities … strain credulity as to whether each purported signatory personally affixed his or her own signature.”
Here is the entire read: 4 Democratic judicial candidates withdraw after ballot challenge.
I thought forging signatures was against the law. As I recall, some folks have gone to jail for forging signatures on petitions. I wonder if the Harris County District Attorney will be investigating this.

This gizmo was featured this morning on “Today.” See this from CNET.com:
NuraLogix, a digital health tech company, debuted its new Longevity Mirror at CES 2026. With a simple selfie, the mirror uses AI to analyze your health markers and provide data on your long-term wellness in as little as 30 seconds. This new method of collecting your health insights at home is designed to improve your lifespan and build better long-term habits.
Last year at CES 2025, NuraLogix unveiled the Anura Magic Mirror, which also provided health insights; however, it wasn’t available for purchase to the public. The Longevity Mirror will be sold for consumer use and is intended for individuals who are interested in learning about their current health and health trajectory based on present-day results.
NuraLogix uses its patented Transdermal Optical Imaging technology to read your health metrics. Using a standard selfie video, the imaging technology analyzes blood-flow patterns in the face. In half a minute, users receive their results, which focus on lifestyle and physiological factors that can affect long-term wellness. This includes cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic health, heart health, physiological age and mental stress. NuraLogix then uses the Longevity Index to score each of these wellness indicators from zero to 100.

I don’t think I will be plunking down $900 for the gizmo, plus a $99 annual fee.
