On By C86 Team

When a Russian court sentenced WNBA star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison for bringing 0.7 grams of cannabis oil to Moscow, President Joe Biden expressed anger at the harsh punishment. Calling the sentence “unacceptable,” he issued a statement committing to “work tirelessly and pursue every possible avenue” to gain freedom.

Developmental psychology may explain why magical thinking is central to love. In this age of science, many people see supernatural forces as illusions rooted in the concept of will. However, love remains a profound exception to the human evolution toward rationality. People are used to seeing romantic love presented as a force connected to a person’s destiny, as in the reality show “Bachelor.” It’s a concept that’s simultaneously laughable and suddenly relatable to anyone who’s ever been in love and felt their partner compulsively “meant.” Our research suggests that these magical ideas of broken love and special soulmates are commonRead News

After years of staying, people like to return to the world and travel. But for many, travel plans have an additional purpose to stick to a virus that has taken millionsRead News
