So the article is exclusively about tracking US military personnel in Germany. What I am wondering, and what the article doesn’t mention, is whether these data brokers can be sued under the GDPR if and when they sell data of EU citizens. There is no way they got informed consent for the sharing of location data like that.

That was one of the biggest frustrations to me when my security clearance was revoked because they found out I was bisexual. Unfortunately, while the military has gotten better over the last 30 years in many ways, some lessons are never learned and this circular reasoning still haunts us.

This is on Vice’s YouTube channel, rather than the website. Also note that The Intercept isn’t without its biases.

and apologizes to Elon Musk for past coverage
Maybe hoping to avoid the Gawker way to go, of being sued out of existence?
(Not that that excuses having your tongue up Musk’s arse.)

Could be… but also could be showing their true colors… Gavin McInnes co-founded Vice, after all… Maybe both. Probably both.

Great… 
good to know someone is watching this for us, for some reason. 
Windy now has radiation monitoring to go with your PM 2.5, NO2, SO2 and Ozone measurements.
I’m not as radiation-hardened as a true nuclear power veteran would be, but do I really want this on the worry list?

I guess that just leaves us with Jalopnik as far as “media outlets unafraid to make fun of Elon” goes.

I didn’t know that they were still publishing anything at all. (Certainly sounds like we’d be better off if that were the case.)

The Vice site, rather than Vicenews, has new material, but it all seems like fluffy lifestyle stuff.
It could be that the YouTube channel is all that Shane Smith still has rights to, and he’s running those off in the basement without a filter of journalists and editors, and MAGA influencer is his new career path.

Without federal regulations, some states have taken action, requiring wastewater treatment plants to test their biosolids for PFAS or setting their own limits for PFAS in biosolids. Texas is not among them. State environmental regulators said in a statement they’re not required to by law.
This is gonna be that standard answer in red states for the next 4 years. “The feds don’t require it, so I ain’t doing it.” That said, this is a terrifying article. Not sure I would buy PFAS being the villain here unless the levels are just astronomical. To have that dramatic and rapid an effect would be very weird. Not sure I expect any further investigation, though, given the attitude of higher ups there.
ETA:
Ames, who spent $35,000 of the county’s money on the investigation and sent samples to a lab in Pennsylvania, told residents that the liver of the Coleman’s stillborn calf contained 610,000 parts per trillion of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, or PFOS, one of the many types of forever chemicals.
Holy fucking shirtballs!! OK, I take it back. Holy crap, those farmers are hosed. As are anyone eating that beef, or other produce. Vegan life looking batter all the time!
