The roof must have a leak... No one has noticed the missing tile on the roof behind the chimney.

No Pope, but... 😔-pollution.

Damn. Cancel the DJ! youtu.be/5AMvUXZnCxY?...

I hate that I’m the 6b6th like. Replace b with 6.

this reads like a 9 year old talking to their teacher im sorry

That’s fair. I don’t like the number. Would write a 6-shaped b whenever I needed to write the number in triplicate.

LOL

Crackpipe! all religion is a fn joke

Yeah. Y’all might as well just stop doing any reporting about things like a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan and just continuously broadcast a live shot of that stovepipe. Thats what it was like watching most of today. Useless.

It might be interesting if the pipe gets clogged and all the cardinals die of carbon monoxide poisoning!

Well, I wish no ill will on anyone, and I would point out that since there are no cameras inside, I suspect that the media would just ignorantly keep on keeping on with the live shot of the stovepipe while prattling on about the horse race.

Black smoke likewise seen over the White House, signaling no meaningful tariff deals have yet been signed.

Who cares?

Well there are nearly one and a half billion Catholics, a few of them might be somewhat invested.

That's their problem. There is no "Jesus". How many of those "Catholic " priest screwed innocent young boys? The hypocrisy is disgusting.

I don't disagree, but the point is the leadership choice of a 1.5 billion strong cultural institution matters a great deal, for better and worse.

Is that the Vatican or Snoop Dog’s house 🧐

It’s rigged! Stop the count!

Stop the steal before it's too late!!!!

China flipped votes via thermostats using satellites! I damn well know Pizzaballa won!

if Mike Pence has the courage

Curious why republicans aren’t having a meltdown over cross dressing pedophiles getting so much airtime.

Maga gonna storm the vatican if he doesn't win

Oh no Trump got zero votes

Burnt dinner🧌

Are you sure?

Why is the black smoke necessary? Isn’t the default just no pope until white smoke?

To let people know they had a vote

They want the smoke

C'mon!!!! Pizzaballa should be a given!

And what exactly is "bReAkiNg" here?

Guess the Holy Ghost needs to speak a little louder.

Donald's mad

How silly.

Y'know you have a choice to not put the BREAKING label on everything? Status updates are great and underrated, but that tag is ridiculous

Black smoke = Summoning of the Covfefe

BREAKING: Nothing happened.

Great.... atheist here... can we get back to focusing on Trump not following judicial orders?

You don't have to watch the vatican.

I'm not. Honestly I could give two shits what they do. :) News agencies forego all news coverage in the world for stupid shiny things like this.

What if I told you there are still thousands of other news stories out there, some of them literally right next to this one on the website?

That website is not my TV.

In the words of Kendrick Lamar, "turn this TV off, turn this TV off"

I don't listen to Kendrick Lamar... but ok.

Well there’s your problem, it’s 2025, why are you destroying your brain with cable news?

Because it costs thousands of dollars to go to other countries and continents to get first hand investigative reporting... and somehow paying $83/mo for YouTubeTV sounds like a better deal.

ok

The Catholic Church remains one of the most powerful cultural institutions in the world whose policies have helped toppled dictators. As antiquated as it may feel, its leadership has political consequences for many.

They also sided with Hitler.

So?

So it's newsworthy.

Catholics think everyone is interested in what they're doing while the catholics are more interested in controlling what you're doing... If they weren't reaching into everyone's lives who didn't follow them, I'd probably not be turned off to whatever they're doing as much.

You could say the same thing about US politics.

Mostly with what we're dealing with with Republicans... and to a lesser extent Democrats, yes. if everyone just minded their own business more, maybe they could focus on fixing problems instead of just making new ones.

@thelouvreof.bsky.social

Black smoke from the Vatican? That doesn’t mean no pope. It just means someone’s overcooked the porchetta again.

Trump is still making a deal…

What if it's just cold and they put the fire on?

This is all so medieval.

Or one of the Cardinals burnt tonight's dinner?

Is it weird that I read that in the voice of the guy in Band of Brothers who announced theD Day drop was being delayed by weather. “No Jump Tonight!”

@thetacobellbell.bsky.social

That's a Nope on the Pope Folks I miss clever headlines

Damn it! I really have my hopes still on Trump Round two, fingers crossed 🤞

The safest time for children is when there’s a conclave.

What happens when there is nothing left of Pope Francis to burn?

overheard

Came here for “pope in the smoker” snark, leaving satisfied.

It took the Conclave a day before selecting Pope Francis, however, the longest selection was back in 1213, when it took nearly three years. Looked up what was happening in Rome. There was political and social conflict. LOL, nearly 1000 years ago, and nothing has changed.

or a lot of dead suffocated religious dudes

Oh, no - say it ain't so, DonOLD cremated?

I understand people like to follow old rituals, but wouldn't it be easier just to tweet it out?

Guarantee they just spent all day talking shit about Trump’s pope pic.

This can't be good for the air in Rome?😷😷

They should just ask chatGPT

I keep saying ChatGPT for pope but nobody seems to want to go there.

Didn't they just sit down to their big hat party like an hour ago? These things take time. A party's a party, but a pope is forever

They got Cheetoh for Pope out of the way pretty quickly.

Hang on a minute, that’s blood. Why is there what appears to be finely atomized blood coming from the conclave chimney? What the fuck are these guys doing in there, MSNBC?

I think there should be a cage match!

What’s gonna happen when they switch to gummies

Oh the drama.

Obviously, the Holy Spirit has never heard of ranked choice voting.🙄

Are we still as a civilization this fucking stupid?

turns out none of them could answer 'NO' to the 'Are you now or have you ever been a pedophile enabler' question.

The original gender reveal.

Cult rituals.

Don't they have WiFi at the Vatican yet?

It's all so stupid.

bsky.app/profile/john...

we got real problems going on

This shit is so goofy.

The cardinals are burning every artifact and vestige of JD's visit. And for good reason, no doubt. (Rumor has it they've even discussed bringing in professional evidence arson Mark Meadows to stoke the fire, just in case.)

Breaking: no new information.

Not enough money has changed hands yet.

BREAKING: WHITE SMOKE!!!! They have a NEW POPE!! #RIPPopeFrancis

I hope in the first round no one voted for Anilingus, aka: Felonious DonnyT

When the smoke turns bluish the pope-mobile needs new piston rings. Don't delay this just cuz it's expensive.

I named him Tony!

I'll take black smoke over orange smoke, if you know what I mean.

I demand a recount!

That Vatican at 9pm. Grat. Now millions of us have to calculate the time difference between Rome time and our time zone because some producer at MSNBC was too lazy to do it.

So Trump still has a chance then 😏

I rather he was Pope than president

i cant tell actually what's worse given he can't read. control of the government or the most dangerous book club in all of human history

He would rob the Vatican blind.

And that is bad why?

Trump is not entitled to anything at, near or in the Vatican. It has nothing to do with good or bad. Just basic respect.

LOL!!

bsky.app/profile/evah...

...and zero fucks are given. Sell the Vatican...feed the world

That sounds great until you think about who could afford to buy the Vatican. The art is moved to the private residences of the rich. History locked away from us all. And then Musk paints Doge onto the Sistine Chapel roof for the meme. No thanks.

Tell me he wouldn't.

Matthew 25...read it. No mention of nation status or opulence...or the Vatican bank. It's bullshit

Don't dodge my question. who do you think is going to buy the Sistine Chapel?

Sorry, do you mean the FanDuel Sportsbook Chapel?

This Easter Blessing is brought to you by Geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% on car insurance

Sorry did you say a thing. My brain kind of bled when you posted that.

You take my sarcasm very seriously. How about I couldn't care less...and don't talk to me like you have a right to an answer to your question. Now go away

I do have the right answer, and it isn't giving the rich even more of our world.

It's not my world. I grew up in MLK's church where there are no princes and a neighborhood where pedophiles have a short like expectancy. I have read Bible in the original Greek text, the Latin translation, and the Hebrew bible in verse. There is no mention of your Vatican...so I don't care. Bye bye

The Vatican is a small country and all the people who live in it are fine. It's the people who don't live in the Vatican that need better governments. Granted, the Vatican having 3-4 digits of population and only a few miles of landmass helps make it easier to run.

Let's all pray they don't release orange smoke.

The Vatican simulcasts on large screens when smoke comes out of the chimney. In other words, the Vatican has better technology than the Newark airport in the US.

Yeah they are settling in for the weekend , Pizza ordered, someone has the Blu-Ray extended editing of The Lord of the Rings films . It's a good old lads weekend away 🍕🍷🎬🙏

I remember them going through this for the longest time. Its so ridiculous

Katy Tur is the worst.
