Perhaps Pope Francis never made a visit to Argentina while in office because he feared a coup in the Vatican

Re: The Automat documentary that everyone’s recommending as Mel Brooks turns 100: go see it, it’s on Kanopy. I wonder if the story is more the rising wealth of the US, and because Brooks is such an old guy he got to witness it firsthand. And maybe we’ll live to witness the return of Automat 🫪

I’ve been souring on Patrick McKenzie’s writing for a while but him casually throwing around “black letter law” here has me groaning.
One of those duties: a financial institution must, as a matter of black letter law (31 CFR § 1020.320), file a SAR if its investigation discovers a transaction designed to obscure the provenance of money.

Ok, it turns out the golf club isn't actually the problem. This is absolutely hilarious. There's just this *one* bit of perfectly good sidewalk (between start and end points) that maps just flat out refuses to acknowledge as traversable on foot.
Section of map around Myrtle Beach, SC. The map is showing walking direction between two pins that are placed 700 feet apart next to a highway, but with a sidewalk running along the side and joining the two pins. The directions, instead, opt to go 3 miles in the opposite direction, then go way up North into the nearby mountains, make a great circuit, and come back about 3 miles ahead of the destination, then tracking back, for a combined total detour of 26.7 miles.

This is, of course, the same Ben Ghazi that Hillary Clinton tried to cover up. This goes deep.
He claims that these exercises are the basis of Freemasonry and alchemy, and that they are practiced by a secret society of Sufis; Muhammad is said to have learned these exercises from a hermit named "Ben Khasi", taught them to the innermost circle of his successors, and incorporated them into the text of the Qur'an in order to preserve them unchanged in perpetuity.

He’s the Pope, you don’t have to pimp his H-index
Prompted by the tragic events of the sack of Rome in 410 AD, Saint Augustine wrote De Civitate Dei, The City of God. This is one of the most powerful of his theological, philosophical and literary works. As Pope Benedict XVI observed, it is an “impressive work crucial to the development of Western political thought and the Christian theology of history.”

Genuine h1b reform would have been a slam dunk for Dems at the election: reform attacks big, exploitative corporations (populist!) and defends exploited workers rights (exploited by demands of long hours and lack of mobility).

Why use your time machine to kill Hitler when you could kill the First White Guy
In a 2013 study, Canfield et al. established that SLC24A5 sits in a block of haplotypes, one of which (C11) is shared by virtually all chromosomes that bear the A111T variant. This "equivalence" between C11 and A111T indicates that all people who carry this skin-lightening allele descend from a common origin: a single carrier who lived most likely "between the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent".
