Pope Leo XIV is the first pope who has watched Bulls games via ballstreams on a VPN from Vatican City

Big 10 expansion is outta control

AMERICAN POPE??!?!?

just waiting for the "there's leftover food from the conclave still in the Sistine Chapel, help yourselves" email to go out

learning the popes have their own kiss-and-cry … life changing knowledge

If anyone has a hidden Rosary and would like to use it, now is the time

The rats have chosen a new pope.

when is the “grwm as I announce myself as the new pope” tiktok dropping

UPDATE: white smoke has *also* been spotted in the city center of Avignon,,, bad news folks!!!

okay who out there will think to do a New Pope News Dump in the next 20 minutes

just got overexcited and googled POPE in all caps because I didn’t know what else to do in the moment

going out on a limb to ask could it perhaps be the literal passage of time

DIDN'T TAKE LONG. This is what you call "committing to the bit."

It’s weird how a bunch of societal phenomenon which could easily be bunched together as “people spending less time with other people” get separated out and then individually touted as either good things “less drinking” or bad “less babies” and never the twain do they meet.

Too shitty for Piers Morgan is very shitty indeed.

*drunk at the conclave* nooooooo don’t pick him he sucks

I enjoy the implication by Dimon that this wasn't happening before WFH which uhhhhhhhh was not my experience nymag.com/intelligence...

I feel really stupid asking again

Davide Frattesi asked why he dummied and then shot the ball on his goal: "... I was thinking that, uh, if I don't score I'm fucked"

The maddest tweet you'll see all day

bill de blasio in park slope, ordering his breakfast sandwich as “mi sandwich especial” and quoting the onion headline omg www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Did Chalamet skip the Met Gala because the Knicks were playing tonight? At least a 70% chance right

spy vs. spy but make it sexy

I either agree with or understand all these points (including the people who really dislike it!), but if we can’t be goofy with the umpteenth studio movie in an ongoing series when can we. This is such a Don’t Overthink It And Just Have Fun situation

Re LLMs writing term papers: the other day I saw someone say that using LLMs to write is like bringing a forklift to the gym. It's not that the weights need to go up; it's that you need to do the lifting. The doing of the work is the result, not the paper being done or the weights having moved.

This was also the first sentence in this story at which I let out a real and unflattering HA!

"SCORE! SCORE!"

It is interesting that arguably nobody understands/gels with Cruise better than McQuarrie and McQuarrie's take on Cruise across multiple franchises now is an utterly lonely relic of a bygone age whose only joy is getting together with work colleagues to do a project.

god a Rantanen Game 7 hatty vs. Colorado is too fuckin perfect

post Sad Nathan MacKinnon post the Sad Nathan MacKinnon trilogy post it directly in my eyes

At this point, donating to the annual ex-Vox fund feels like sending a few bucks to my alma mater's latest graduating class

The cantina band from Star Wars seems even weirder now we know from Andor that the bar could’ve just been playing normal techno

Me and Anubis are laughing at how heavy your heart is, man. He’s doing bits. Like acting like he can’t even lift it with both hands haha. Acting like he’s doing bicep curls with it. I’m like, damn, Anubis is in his bag

The Rehearsal season 3 is already filming?

Noted 5th place finisher, Riley Gaines, who has made hundreds of thousands from her transphobic bigotry, is upset that another grifter, Shiloh Hendricks, has gotten $330k for screaming the N word at a 5 year old Black child on a playground. Who did she think her followers and supporters were?

This is the city where drivers mow down toddlers in crosswalks while making a turn against the signal and the cops let them drive home, right
