Zuckerberg said in an episode of Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” that aired Thursday that the FBI contacted his company ahead of the 2020 presidential election to warn them to be mindful of potentially polarizing content. That warning came after Russia used social media platforms, including Facebook, to post content intended to polarize ahead of the 2016 election. Zuckerberg said he took the warning seriously. He said the social media platform did not ban people from sharing the Post’s story, but took action to limit how often the story appeared in feeds....

For the flight, a full-size mannequin in an orange flight suit will occupy the pilot’s seat, equipped with vibration and acceleration sensors. The “commander” was named Moonikin Campos in a public competition, in honor of Arturo Campos, a Nasa engineer who helped save Apollo 13 from disaster by working out how to jury-rig its partially crippled electrical system to carry the astronauts at home. Two other mannequins made of material that simulates human tissue – heads and a female torso but no limbs – will measure cosmic radiation, one of the biggest dangers of spaceflight....

To be eligible, borrowers must make less than $125,000 a year if single and less than $250,000 a year if married or head of household. The original Penn Wharton report, which was released before Biden’s package was made public and looked at only $10,000 in loan forgiveness for borrowers, found that 70% of the benefits would go to households in the top 60% of incomes. That equates to 55% of the benefit going to households with $88,000 or less....

His comments, which came shortly after a redacted affidavit shed new light on material Trump brought with him to his Palm Beach members’ club, stopped short of judging Trump’s actions. But they still reflect Biden’s more expansive remarks on a topic he and his team have taken pains to keep their distance from. “I’m not going to comment because I don’t know the details. I don’t even want to know....

The lawsuit alleges that Araiza had sex with a 17-year-old outside an off-campus home where Araiza lived, then brought her to a room where she was repeatedly raped. The plaintiff is identified in the lawsuit as “Jane Doe,” because she was a minor at the time, but is now 18, according to the Associated Press.

But “high” risk sites — defined as Level 3 — still account for nearly 130 of the roughly 235 sites monitored by the CDC.
