I am not in any way an expert on Conclaves or the Papacy, but I do know enough to say this with confidence: The fact that the American who wrote this was just elected Pope, in this particular hour in history, is no accident on the part of the Cardinals.

The new Pope, Pope Leo XIV, watched the ‘CONCLAVE’ movie right before the actual conclave. “I said ‘Did you watch the movie ‘Conclave’ so you know how to behave? And he had just finished watching the movie,” says the Pope’s brother. (Source: NBCNews)

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?

Absolutely unreal plot twist by the writers today — the new pope is a JD Vance critic, setting the stage for a redemption narrative after the previous pope died just hours following his meeting with Vance. They still have their fastball.

For the majority of Cardinals appointed by Pope Francis, this will be their first time participating in a conclave, making the “remarkably accurate" Oscar-winning film a surprisingly helpful tool in preparation for the process. bit.ly/43gf1od

Our simpleminded Attorney General thought it a good idea to go on TV and expressly state that she is promoting "cruel and unusual punishment" (in violation of the 8th Amendment) and denial of due process (in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments). Can't wait until transcripts appear in courts.

Thunderbolts is the northern star the MCU needed, giving us the direction most, including myself, were expecting to have to wait until Fantastic 4 to get. Pugh is the bleeding, beating heart of this film, and the struggle of finding your way when you're adrift in life is a powerful message.

We just made a film in Canada. Not for the incentives, but because we needed a hyper specific location and climate. What does that mean for movies like ours? This is truly dumb shit packed in a box of dumber shit and carefully wrapped in the dumbest of shit. What an absolute brainless shitshow.

And there it is. The law he's using to make all those tariffs literally excludes films (among other things) from the scope of his powers. He can't do shit here. It's 100% unenforceable even before the "how" of it all. Thanks to @nanosauromo.bsky.social for the info.

Racism is when you believe a white guy is innocent after a jury has concluded 34 times that he isn’t, and you immediately decide an immigrant is guilty when the immigrant hasn’t even had a chance to present their defense.

If Biden, who is actually Catholic, posted a picture of himself as Pope there would be a thousand op-eds and cable news hits for months about how it was the most blasphemous thing an American president has ever done and we’d assume he had gone insane.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.
