When I was a freshman at a notoriously hippie college, one of my first encounters with trustafarians was a white dude in hemp based clothing whose greasy dreds were piled up inside of what looked like a lampshade. I think about him a lot and wish him (and this eerily similar dude) great violence.

Back to back dingers from Robert Deniro and Liev Schreiber in the area of Hollywood tough guys shrugging their shoulders going “yeah why wouldn’t I love my child?”

Imagine going to confession for teasing the pope in childhood- what's the penance for that???

There is an interview on Facebook reels right now with Louis Prevost, the new pope's brother. Just a retiree in Florida, laughing about the fact that he used to tease his brother for being too holy. "What do you wanna be when you grow up, the Pope?"

"The pope is an anchor baby" it took less than an hour for the right to dissolve into racism. Love that for us.

Okay, but where they fuck did ABC find this translator? Absolute garbage, I guess I'll just have to wait until the text gets published.

My favorite part of this live Vatican coverage is all the folks (mostly dudes in vestments) up against the barricade like they're at a punk show.

There’s an old Soviet joke: A man goes up to the newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. Finally, the clerk asked him what he was trying to find. “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituary section is in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

sometimes my brain will glitch and suddenly I'll be 3 articles deep on a cryptid called the Ogopogo with no clear recollection of what got me there.

I'm betting my annual tithe on Tagle. Runner-up would be Turkson. He used to play funk guitar. Or, if I were picking popes the way I pick players for fantasy football, it would absolutely be Pizzaballa.

Despite being a boomer, my mom has an incredibly weird sense of humor. We have a running joke about her being the silliest goose. Recently, I've been sending her goose-themed memes.

Okay, but I sent this to my awesome tattoo artist with the only context being: New tattoo idea, perhaps with the phrase "sic semper tyrannus" Thoughts? His response was simply "yes" and now I have to decide how serious I am about it.

The final is submitted, praise be to Bullshitticus! Now I get to retire my "will I finish in time?" anxiety and bring out the festive "is my work good enough, or will I be exposed as a hack?" panic. It's good to a have a variety.

OK, final project is just missing a conclusion, but if I stare at this document for one moment longer, I will begin to commit crimes. Not fun, sexy crimes though. The boring and sad ones, like tax evasion. Or catching too many fish.

The apocalypse is nigh, but at least I finally caught a Kangaskhan in Pokemon Go. Now if I can just find an Articuno I can finally achieve my childhood dream of completing the Kanto pokedex.
