KBSez ✅Companies That Get ‘Woke’ Aren’t Going Broke — They’re More Profitable Than Ever
'Sorry, Kid Rock, Bud Light's gonna be just fine'
“GET WOKE, GO broke,” has become a rallying cry of the political right whenever they see a brand make the slightest effort to align itself with liberal or progressive values. It’s a meme that allows MAGA country to believe that there is ongoing, massive backlash to products that acknowledge and celebrate marginalized communities.

W. Brian LaneInteresting observation from student presentations: I asked them to identify a challenge in the process. Many are repeating instructions from the project, including "look up a numerical value." Starting to wonder what we each mean by "challenge." #ITeachPhysics

CosmicRamiVery sad to hear the news today that the University of Sydney plans to no longer support the Molonglo Observatory after June 2023.
This important piece of Australian astronomical history is still producing some excellent scientific results today, esp. in the field of Fast Radio Bursts.
There is so much to love about this telescope, I hope it finds funding (philanthropic, commercial, Govt, crowdsourced, etc.) to keep it going.

An Iconic Australian Telescope, Upgraded for Future Science | Spaceaustralia
One of Australia’s oldest and most iconic radio telescopes, the Molonglo Observatory, has recently been refitted with new technology, now boosting its capabilities in delivering on emerging science, like elusive fast radio bursts.
