Drake Equation, yep, search for others gave me a 2018 F6 biggie. On my trip through the post (they were always huge efforts from Mark) this time i didn't see the mention. About a quarter down there is some creationist stuff where i thought it may be, but didn't see it.

First some from near the bottom. The moon tour is a good one.

Tiny distortions in universe's oldest light reveal strands in cosmic web
Researchers map the network of filaments connecting the universe's visible matter
Scientists have decoded faint distortions in the patterns of the universe's earliest light to map huge tubelike structures invisible to our eyes -- known as filaments -- that serve as superhighways for delivering matter to dense hubs such as galaxy clusters.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg faced off with lawmakers in a marathon 5-hour hearing Tuesday about how the voter-profiling company Cambridge Analytica harvested the data of more than 87 million Facebook users, without their permission, in efforts to sway voters to support President Donald Trump. We speak with Zeynep Tufekci, associate professor of information and library science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is also a faculty associate at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. Her book is titled “Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest [ https://www.amazon.com/Twitter-Tear-Gas-Fragility-Networked/dp/0300215126 , https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300215120/twitter-and-tear-gas , full text pdf https://www.twitterandteargas.org/downloads/twitter-and-tear-gas-by-zeynep-tufekci.pdf ].”

How Facebook Played “Instrumental” Role in Rise of Burma’s Ethnic Cleansing Campaign of Rohingya

Published on Apr 11, 2018 by Democracy Now!

In Burma, seven soldiers have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for participating in the massacre of Rohingya Muslims in the village of Inn Din in western Rakhine State. The bodies of 10 Rohingya men were discovered in a mass grave there last September. The victims are among thousands of Rohingya who have been killed by the Burmese military’s ethnic cleansing campaign against the minority Muslim group. For years, activists have demanded Facebook regulate hate speech against Rohingya on its platform, saying this speech has contributed to the rise in violence against the persecuted community. For more, we speak with Zeynep Tufekci, associate professor of information and library science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is also a faculty associate at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. Her book is titled “Twitter and Tear Gas: The Power and Fragility of Networked Protest [ https://www.amazon.com/Twitter-Tear-Gas-Fragility-Networked/dp/0300215126 , https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300215120/twitter-and-tear-gas , full text pdf https://www.twitterandteargas.org/downloads/twitter-and-tear-gas-by-zeynep-tufekci.pdf ].”
