Yeah, if you are not outraged then you are not paying attention.

Under the approach Thomas lays out in his Sackett concurrence, the federal ban on child labor is unconstitutional. So is the minimum wage, federal laws protecting the right to unionize, bans on workplace discrimination, and nearly all other regulation of the workplace. Thomas’s approach endangers countless laws governing private business, from rules requiring health insurers to cover people with preexisting conditions to the ban on whites-only lunch counters. And even that is underselling just how much law would be snuffed out if Thomas’s approach took hold.

Conservatives should be just as outraged by this opinion as progressives, libertarians, etcetera.

I am not against kids working jobs prior to sixteen as many do (via lemonade stands, selling cookies, mowing yards, etcetera). But dangerous jobs should always be restricted, especially those involving potentially dangerous chemicals.

Despite arguably being the second most hated politician in America, it seems Mighty Joe Biden’s fortunes of being elected remain high due to two crucial facts pointed out by two Republican campaign teams.

I am taking this survey from @wip, as I wish to see ActivityPub (aka Federation) implemented upon @tumblr.

So I arrived in Singapore 🇸🇬 last night (it’s still early morning here as I woke up) & my first impressions about this country is it reminds me of a mixture of New York City, Atlanta & Dubai.

While the tiny slice of airport I experienced puts Singapore 🇸🇬 in a class of its own, after briefly traveling through the city, this appears to be just like any other city, minus the rowdy night life that one often witnesses in every city.

In a few hours I will head out to breakfast, but overall my first day in Singapore is more or less uneventfully calm.

Meet the Four Artemis Astronauts Who Will Fly Around the Moon

Today, we revealed the four astronauts who will fly around the Moon during the Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch in 2024. Get to know them:

Christina Koch

NASA astronaut Christina Hammock Koch poses for a portrait in her orange Artemis flight suit. The suit has blue trim around the neck and shoulders, with three patches: one with the U.S. flag on her left shoulder, one with her name and a pair of wings on her chest, and one with the NASA “meatball” insignia faintly visible beneath the second. The background is dark, and the photo is lit to focus on Koch’s face, which is facing the camera with a dignified expression. Credit: NASAALT

Meet the first member of our Artemis II crew: mission specialist Christina Koch. Koch visited the International Space Station in 2019, where she participated in the first all-woman spacewalk with Jessica Meir. She began her NASA career as an electrical engineer at Goddard Space Flight Center.

Jeremy Hansen

Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen poses for a portrait in his orange Artemis flight suit. The suit has blue trim around the neck and shoulders, with three patches: one with the Canadian flag on his left shoulder, one with his name and a pair of wings on his chest, and one bearing the logo of the Canadian Space Agency faintly visible beneath the second. The background is dark, and the photo is lit to focus on Hansen’s face, which is facing the camera with a dignified expression. Credit: NASAALT

Representing the Canadian Space Agency is Jeremy Hansen from London, Ontario. Col. Hansen was a fighter pilot with Canadian Armed Forces before joining the Canadian Space Agency, and currently works with NASA on astronaut training and mission operations. This will be Col. Hansen’s first mission in space.

Victor Glover

NASA astronaut Victor Glover poses for a portrait in his orange Artemis flight suit. The suit has blue trim around the neck and shoulders, with three patches: one with the U.S. flag on his left shoulder, one with his name and a pair of wings on his chest, and one with the NASA “meatball” insignia faintly visible beneath the second. The background is dark, and the photo is lit to focus on Glover’s face, which is facing the camera with a dignified expression. Credit: NASAALT

Victor Glover is our Artemis II pilot. Glover is part of our 2013 class of NASA astronauts and was the pilot for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 mission. He’s logged 3,000 flight hours in more than 40 different aircraft.

Reid Wiseman

NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman poses for a portrait in his orange Artemis flight suit. The suit has blue trim around the neck and shoulders, with three patches: one with the U.S. flag on his left shoulder, one with his name and a pair of wings on his chest, and one with the NASA “meatball” insignia faintly visible beneath the second. The background is dark, and the photo is lit to focus on Wiseman's face, which is facing the camera with a dignified expression. Credit: NASAALT

…and rounding out our Artemis II crew: mission commander Reid Wiseman. Wiseman lived and worked aboard the International Space Station as a flight engineer in 2014. He also commanded the undersea research mission NEEMO21, and most recently served as Chief of the NASA astronauts.

The difference between @TwitterBlue & @Tumblr checkmarks is that Tumblr admits how vain it is & celebrates that fact! The checkmarks on @Twitter are useless if you do not verify the account. This is why @instagram (via Meta Verified) is valuable, despite offering less features. I wonder if @youtube will consider something similar‽ Hmm…

I will let @mosseri explain why Instagram verification is actually verification.

Our Meta Verified test is expanding to the US this week. The US test will reflect some initial learnings and feedback we saw.   Latest info here 👇🏼https://t.co/aVYw8NPLsj pic.twitter.com/NZCMvoq6Uo  — Adam Mosseri (@mosseri) March 17, 2023ALT

Due to numerous hack attempts over the years, I decided it was wise to subscribe to @instagram verified (officially meta-verified) in order to provide greater security for my Instagram account (primarily to access human friendly customer service).

Even though I am more active on Pixelfed, many of my friends (especially continental & diaspora Africans) have become active on Instagram due to the slow implosion of Twitter.

It’s $14.99 per month, & currently available via iPhone & Android phones. Accessible customer service was the primary selling point to me which is useful if your account is compromised (I have seen this happen to others).

I previously subscribed to Twitter Blue, but it is not the money due to how buggy the app is nowadays (timeline, ads, mentions, etcetera).
