The root of tune thing is that Islamic teachings require practitioners to dress modestly.

Interpretations of this range from "cover your sex bits" to "don't show an inch of skin to anybody except your husband".

The lore is that the saarlac actually keeps you alive while digesting you. ~~Like, it puts roots in that act as life support so it has a constant source of protein or whatever. ~~ eh, that last but might not be accurate but there is some kind of enzyme in their stomach that keeps you alive? Whatever.

The Cuba embargo is entangled so deeply into US law that it is a total cluster fuck pain in the ass to undo. It's not just one law, it's an entire web.

We should be going through the pain in the ass to undo it, because the embargo really isn't doing us any good and it's keeping Cuba decades behind in development due to a 60 year old grudge. But communism or whatever.

The 250th anniversary of the signing of US declaration of independence will be in 2026.

The state is also requiring a four-paragraph “context statement” about how the commandments “were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries”.

Generous rounding, there.
