No African Pope for a while, then

Yep, but still displeased they picked one from the US. Thought they'd skip ones from major powers much less a superpower. Personally he seems ok, aside from some sex abuse mishandling accusations (big ****ing surprise) though, in line with Francis. Had to laugh at a Catholic forum desperate to know his stance....on the Latin Mass. Crusader LARPers, I guess, as KP said

And they picked a Pope from the US. Huh.

Or a US civil war. That'd be fun to watch.

So much time spent playing those. That series went more actioney though, people want gunfights and in GR you're mainly prowling around assassinating dudes.

Depends on the shooter, it's like an ARPG, sometimes the fun is in killing a lot of people/monsters. A GTA like game with a damage model like R6 of old would be fun, though

Went over your head. Seems a poor result for India, https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/world/asia/india-pakistan-attacks.html

Would never have happened with Kamala in office.

I generally have no idea what is going on in fights with my rogue. Fun is when a sorcerer is fighting with me, can't see anything. Not as bad as WoW. Plugging along in d4, only lvl 44. Trying to play on Penitent waa too ambitious

Well the office event went without too much drama, Trump threatening Canada as usual. Carney didn't say much, but I suppose not much to say as Trump's mind goes on a journey.

https://thehill.com/business/5284207-lutnick-skeptical-of-cutting-a-deal-with-canadas-socialist-regime/ Not a great sign for the talks today. I maintain Lutnick really should have been on time to work that day.

"Palestinians in north Gaza told the BBC that they were strongly opposed to being forcibly displaced to the south once again, with several saying they would rather die amid the ruins of their homes." IDF will grant their wish. Sorry, I mean Hamas will force the IDF to grant their wish.

Just be glad he didn't see Escape from LA.

Currently it's generating revenue - https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-floats-reopening-alcatraz-heres-how-much-revenue-notorious-prison-generates $60MM isn't much, but Musk reaches climax over saving amounts in that range. And it was shut down as an active prison for being cost ineffective so...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-alcatraz-prison-fabe3385415ae03829d44e50efb3c1fb I am guessing Escape from Alcatraz was on TV or something last night. Well or they're doing something insane that this is cover for.

But 40k already exists

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/ai-spiritual-delusions-destroying-human-relationships-1235330175/ "Titled “Chatgpt induced psychosis,” the original post came from a 27-year-old teacher who explained that her partner was convinced that the popular OpenAI model “gives him the answers to the universe.” Having read his chat logs, she only found that the AI was “talking to him as if he is the next messiah.” The replies to her story were full of similar anecdotes about loved ones suddenly falling down rabbit holes of spiritual mania, supernatural delusion, and arcane prophecy — all of it fueled by AI. Some came to believe they had been chosen for a sacred mission of revelation, others that they had conjured true sentience from the software. "

One of the headscratching changes they've made. Well, I guess I should be glad they didn't remove free cosmetics fully

Especially with people like this guy in the administration. Apparently they might make him Nat Sec Advisor ? Might be interesting to Hurlshot, who undoubtedly peddles in woke globo-homosexual Neo-Leninist/Marxist indoctrination

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-defends-high-cost-military-parade-peanuts-rcna204581 45 MM isn't that much, but considering the amounts they were gloating about it seems funny. At least clever to use the Army anniversary as his cover.

Found out someone implemented a weekend server restart. But apparently forgot the "start" part of the restart . Life is good
