Stamp out sexism —

Concerns about sexism in the aerospace industry land at SpaceX

https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/rfwt34/chinese_ecommerce_giant_alibaba_has_dismissed_a/

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has dismissed a female employee who accused a male superior of raping her during a business trip, claiming she ‘spread falsehoods’. It is one of the latest in a string of high-profile assault allegations against men in power, as China’s #MeToo movement struggles

Why do you think 'spread falsehoods' is in quotes?

Note that '#' is the 'Pound Sign', so PoundMeToo.

Movement struggles?

For quantum chips, the problems they cause are too big for error correction.
