William Wellman's WINGS (1927) w/ Clara Bow is screening at Regal cinemas nationwide today! I don't recall the last time a multiplex played a #SilentFilm (even an Oscar-winning one) so this is big. Maybe they'll program more if we all go. Tix are $7.99. www.regmovies.com/movies/mars-... #FilmSky

I once read nearly everyone was related to Genghis Khan through mitochondrial DNA because he "raped his way across the world." A new genomic study disproves this idea. I love science and probably should have gone into the field but I didn't have the math chops. www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

Far fewer people are related to Genghis Khan than previously assumed, new genomic study suggests

Some experts have suggested as many as 1 in 200 men in the world are related to Genghis Khan. But a new genomic study reveals the number is significantly lower.

When conservative GOP Alabama Rep. Barry Moore was asked why immigrants are not being given due process of law, he didn’t know that the 5th and 14th amendment to the Constitution promise it. Constituents heckled his ignorance, so he left his town hall by the back door. youtube.com/shorts/CkGZV...
