Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he and Ukraine understand Russia “much better” than President Donald Trump, particularly regarding the war. Zelensky touched on a variety of war-related topics after Ukraine’s daring covert drone assault on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet that destroyed six to 10 bombers in Russia’s scarce force. The Ukrainian president delivered several rebukes to Trump throughout, bashing his characterization of the war and suggesting he didn’t understand the Russians. “I feel strongly Putin does not want to end the war without [the] total defeat of Ukraine,” Zelensky said, strongly disagreeing when presented with Trump’s assertion that Russian President...

What’s the first thing you do when meeting someone new? Exchange pronouns, of course, to make sure you refer to each other accurately. But what if you didn’t have to do that? Meet Earl Thornton. He has this amazing ability to guess people’s pronouns instantly -- just by looking at them. And he’s almost never wrong. “I don’t know, it just feels like I’ve always been able to do this,” said Thornton, who is very humble about his nearly supernatural ability. “I just look at somebody, and then before I can even think, I have their pronouns in my head.”

He was grilling former acting attorney general Sally Yates about her refusal to enforce President Trump’s first executive order temporarily banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States until vetting procedures could be improved. The senator pressed on, noting that it is the courts that determine what is constitutional, adding, “In fact, aren’t most acts of Congress presumed to be constitutional?” Yates hesitantly responded, “They are presumed but they’re not always constitutional, and of course, I was not on the Supreme Court....

Feb. 21 issue - Turhan Canli has an odd photo collection. It includes several shots of people's faces. He flashes photos of the words "death," "happiness" and others printed in various colors. He also has images of fanged snakes and snarling dogs, babies and white supremacists. Canli, a psychologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, recently showed several of the pictures to Robert Sheiman, 22, a theater manager from New Haven, Conn. Before viewing them, Sheiman was put in an fMRI scanner, and as each photo flashed up, he indicated his reaction—positive, negative or neutral—by pressing...
