Yet for many reasons, when it comes to the life of the psyche, we arrogantly cling to the delusion that nobody understood much until the 19th or 20th centuries. Modern psychology was devised in the 1880s; we seem to think no one paid much attention to the inner workings of the mind until then. In truth, we understand less today about the mysteries of the mind than ever. And we live in a less enlightened, rather than a more enlightened, age when it comes to humanity’s understanding of our place in the cosmos....

This means that the Great Red Spot, which is the solar system’s largest storm, is wide and deep enough to swallow Earth from sea level out to the orbit of the International Space Station, at an altitude of around 250 miles. Yet, because of its tremendous width of over 10,000 miles, and the fact that the gas giant’s atmosphere reaches its center, the team behind the findings still describes the storm as flat like a pancake....

The National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ) sent a letter to James McHenry, director of the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), on Thursday alerting him to a recent “EOIR Morning Briefing” email that contained a “pseudo-anonymous source whose values and statements are in contradiction” with the department’s standards and legal principles. “The August 19, 2019 morning news briefing contained ’news’ from a website known for publishing white nationalist ideology and Anti-Semitic tropes,” Ashley Tabaddor, NAIJ’s president wrote, adding that numerous judges across the country have since complained about the “offensive” blog....

This is despite all of the other justices on the court masking up when asked to do so by Chief Justice John Roberts.

The Nationals have finally found their trade partner in the Juan Soto trade sweepstakes, as they are poised to send the two-time All-Star outfielder — and first baseman Josh Bell — to the Padres in return for a bevy of players and prospects.

This motion came as a result of the fact that Nassar was physically assaulted within hours of his release into the general population of United States Penitentiary, Tucson in Tucson, Arizona, where he is serving the 60-year federal prison sentence that he was issued this past December on three child pornography charges by U.S. District Judge Janet Neff. Judge Garcia shooting down this motion is a huge win for the hundreds of people who have accused Nassar of sexual assault....

After winning the 2015 Super Bowl, the Patriots wide receiver naturally spent the offseason as a car salesman and it was not good. Very not good.

Critics are also pointing to the game’s Challenge Modes as a source of quality entertainment in Just Cause 3, along with the game’s massive open world, which has been fleshed out with random events and enhanced AI. Unfortunately, Just Cause 3 appears to have some technical issues that are holding it back, as well as a repetitive mission structure and a weak story....

On Friday, Delaware Third Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas said that Fox News’ coverage of Avenatti’s 2018 arrest that didn’t result in prosecution wasn’t sufficient enough to meet the criteria of defamation. “Some comments, while caustic, are protected opinion,” said Bibas in court documents. “Many others are substantially true. But opinions and minor inaccuracies cannot anchor a defamation claim.” Bibas added that “most of the statements made by Fox in its coverage of Avenatti’s arrest were substantially true,” and Avenatti neglected to prove that “Fox or its employees knew that the statements were false or recklessly disregarded that possibility....
