I'm like 99% sure it isn't Trump.
Is it our Tom Scola?
The NBC commentators are saying it's the first American — Robert Francis Prevost. (That's not his papal name.) Wow!
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Okay, he's Pope Leo XIV. He apparently was favored by Pope Francis as a successor, so hopefully he'll continue Francis's more progressive (for the Catholic Church) attitude.

He's 69 years old and a Chicagoan who also has Peruvian citizenship.
A USAmerican pope will not get me back to the church, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No Pizzaballa for you!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I log in to tell everybody about my overnight adventures, and get immediately upstaged by a new Pope.
(Housemate -- the spouse of the one who was on TV -- had a kidney-stone attack a bit after midnight. We just got home from Kaiser about an hour ago. Everybody's fine, but we didn't get much sleep.)
Here's hoping the new Pope isn't a dickhead.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, American pope. If he thinks JD Vance is a prick, that's good enough for me.
