My players didn't plan to start a revolution. It was just an early session joke before it caught feelings. #Daggerheart #Eidrosa #TTRPG

He's going to start calling for an investigation into the connection between Steve Urkel and Stefan Urquelle.

Why are they never seen in the same place at the same time?

Okay, but the way that this entire interaction made me laugh out loud though. #dateeverything

OMG. I tried the ChatGPT prompt where you ask it to generate an image that shows what it feels like chatting with you on any given day.

I am SHOOK.

A new #pope has entered the chat!

Why did Tagle dominate?

Because Francis spent a decade reshaping the College of Cardinals.

The model reflects that shift: away from institutional control and toward pastoral presence, inclusion, and global perspective.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Runners-up:

👥 Hollerich — 11 wins

🌍 Turkson — 8 wins

🧼 Parolin, Zuppi, Sarah, Tobin — 0 wins

In most simulations, Tagle cleared the 2/3 threshold. When he didn’t, Hollerich usually stepped in as a compromise pope.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
🏆 Luis Antonio #Tagle won 81 out of 100 simulations.

Tagle’s progressive values, global appeal, and soft-spoken charisma helped him sweep across moderate and left blocs, especially among Francis-aligned electors.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Robert #Sarah

Fiercely traditional and deeply influential among conservative circles, Sarah envisions a return to pre-Vatican II discipline.

But in Francis’s church, his hardline stance may alienate more voters than it sways.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Joseph #Tobin

The American wildcard: progressive, outspoken, and people-centered.

He’s Twitter-popular but a long shot inside the Sistine Chapel.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Peter #Turkson

A voice for justice and integral ecology, Turkson brings bold energy and a pan-African perspective to the global church.

Despite his credentials, his moment may have passed.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Matteo #Zuppi

With a pastoral heart and ties to the peace-driven Sant’Egidio movement, Zuppi is beloved in Italy and beyond.

He’s Francis-aligned and friendly, but some doubt he has the votes to go the distance.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Jean-Claude #Hollerich

An intellectual Jesuit and architect of synodal reform, Hollerich is the compromise candidate progressives can rally behind.

Less flashy than Tagle, but just as committed to change.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Pietro #Parolin

The Vatican’s seasoned diplomat and Secretary of State, Parolin is the quiet power broker of the Roman curia.

Steady and obedient, but rarely anyone’s first choice for revolution.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Luis Antonio #Tagle

A globally beloved voice for compassion and inclusion, Tagle blends progressive theology with deep emotional resonance.

Often seen as the spiritual heir to Francis, he’s the frontrunner in nearly every simulation.
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
We ran this conclave using both the top contenders and our own dark horse candidates:

🔹 Luis Antonio Tagle

🔹 Pietro Parolin

🔹 Jean-Claude Hollerich

🔹 Matteo Zuppi

🔹 Peter Turkson

🔹 Joseph Tobin

🔹 Robert Sarah
May 7, 2025 at 3:59 PM
Then we let the conclave play out 100 times, using a point system for voter alignment:

🔹 3 points for shared values

🔹 2 points for political alignment

🔹 1 point for obedience match

Whoever got the highest score from each elector got the vote.

Didn't expect #thunderbolts to be a commentary of the current ineffectual resistance of the @democrats.org, but here we are.

I'm replying this way to every email from @schumer.senate.gov until he either steps out or steps down.

Seeing @booker.senate.gov's real leadership and fight in action today makes Schumer's capitulation to Trump that much more appalling.

Happy 10th anniversary to @criticalrole.bsky.social

I came in during C2 and the #MightyNein stole my heart. One of my favorite things to come out of it was the book my partner and I made for our kids about how friendship changes you.

It's still a big hit in our house. <3

🚨 Niche #Stardew Challenge Alert! 🚨

Look, I know this is ridiculously specific, but I couldn't stop myself…

Introducing: The #CallTheMidwife Challenge – a Sister Monica Joan-inspired run based on the nuns' vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

I promise this makes some sense. 🧵👇
