This is my best-attempt at cataloguing where the info in my head comes from. Most of it's imported you know.

Chats

My DMs are open on Twitter and I'm on a variety of discords/slacks/signals centered on manufacturing, nanofab, space, etc.

Aggregators

I read Twitter, HackerNews, and Reddit in that order, and I have a growing list of Google Alerts for topics that interest me. Google Alerts are under-rated.
