It's hard to convince people who are okay with having conscious bias that they should be concerned with unconscious bias...

It's too bad Edgar Allan Poe did not live long enough to meet David Allan Coe. Imagine the creepy country songs they could have written together.

Whoa. This is the most detailed look ever at the surface of another star. The ALMA Observatory just revealed these images of the red supergiant star R Doradus -- 350x the diameter of the Sun -- showing enormous bubbles of gas rising & falling over a couple weeks. www.eso.org/public/news/... 🔭🧪

Astronomers have captured a sequence of images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star, R Doradus, were obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a telescope co-owned by ESO, in July and August 2023. This panel shows three of these real images, taken with ALMA on 18 July, 27 July and 2 August 2023. The giant bubbles — 75 times the size of the Sun — seen on the star’s surface are the result of convection motions inside the star. The size of the Earth’s orbit is shown for scale.

On the subject of accessibility, why hasn't #CanvasLMS updated the Ally tool to have an option to add accessibility tags to untagged PDF's for you? After all, most people either use Acrobat locally or upload to a web page that does the tagging. Why not build into Ally?

Reason 251 to stop using LaTeX for lecture presentations: Such a pain to make accessible! Adding alt text is non-trivial, and adding accessibility tags is a major headache, particularly on old slides that you've been reusing over the years (because they're so hard to update!). 🧪
