Yet despite the universality of this simple message, a substantial body of scientific research shows that sympathy for the disadvantaged is not an automatic impulse for most people. In fact, generosity may require that we actively override some baser impulses, like blaming the victims of adversity. Not only do we sometimes treat the unfortunate as bad people, we tend to unduly admire those who have been smiled on by fortune....

If the season ended today, both of those streaks would be snapped. The season doesn’t end today, of course, so it doesn’t really matter that the Royals and Blue Jays are atop the AL Central and AL East, respectively. Kansas City hasn’t made the postseason since winning the 1985 World Series, and Toronto hasn’t been since winning the 1993 fall classic. What do these two teams need to do to play in October?...

As a candidate for U.S. Congress in the Bronx, a New York State Assembly member and a vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee, I’m invited to be interviewed regularly, but let’s face it—going onto Fox News as a Democrat requires some mental preparation and emotional fortitude. I was invited to appear on America’s Newsroom to, in part, respond to a silly question about whether former first lady Michelle Obama will eventually be the Democratic nominee for president (hint: she won’t)....
The 2016 season has been a disaster for his Angels. Staff ace Garrett Richards is out for the season with an elbow injury, and potential ace Andrew Heaney is on the 60-day disabled list. Slick-fielding shortstop Andrelton Simmons, the prize offseason acquisition, is out until at least July. Albert Pujols, the guy making $25 million this year (and an additional $140 million from 2017 to 2021), is batting .185 with a ....
As the Trump administration adjusts U.S. foreign policy to meet the challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party’s expansive ambitions and Iran-backed terrorism, we should follow the example set by our farsighted predecessors. That’s why I’ve directed the State Department to ramp up critical-language study, beginning with Mandarin but also encompassing other critical languages such as Russian, Hindi, Arabic and Farsi. This relatively low-cost investment can yield rich rewards. Deeper knowledge of languages—and of the peoples and nations who speak them that such knowledge brings—can illuminate otherwise unseen threats and lower the likelihood of open conflict....
Christopher (Kit) Carson was legendary almost before he was out of his 20s (he even gets a shout-out in “Moby-Dick”). A skilled hunter, trapper, scout and explorer, he guided John Charles Fremont on the exploratory expeditions that earned Fremont the nickname “The Pathfinder” (when the true pathfinder was Carson). He admired the Native Americans he lived among (two of his three wives were Indian), and they in turn respected a man who took the trouble to learn their customs and languages....

With Drew Brees’ announcement this week of his 2020 return, it appears Hill is likely to play the same multi-faceted role in New Orleans for at least one more season — except as the No. 2 quarterback with a big raise in pay.

To that point, today’s Bungie Weekly Update should paint a clearer picture of the Destiny: The Taken King package, although the details are not necessarily as concrete as fans hoped. In their post, the developer details what the expansion pass includes, from new story missions to new gear, but they didn’t provide any specifics. As most had assumed, Destiny: The Taken King will include the usual suite of new content including:...
Hitting .271/.323/.379 with nine home runs — a career low for a full season — Butler graded out as below replacement level as a designated hitter. The Royals declined his $12.5 million option, but on Wednesday, the man known as Country Breakfast headed west for a three-year, $30 million pact with the A’s. That is seemingly big money for a position where Oakland has thrived over the years with unheralded players and reclamation projects....
