Weekly recap, 2026-05-16 - 2026-05-23. The five stories that pulled the most engagement across SHORT INFO this week were not the political headlines of the day. Science took 4 of 5 top slots. Lead story: Kimchi gut bacteria clears microplastics from the body. Runner-up: Drones hit Rosneft Ryazan oil refinery. The rest of the top five mixed earth science, near-Earth space, and one front-line operational detail. Pattern across the week: posts that introduced a new fact or a fresh dataset out-performed posts reacting to existing headlines. Audience attention concentrates where the information itself is new, not where the talking point already saturates the feed.
