Gonna be a busy day for Ralph Fiennes.

Martin Dúbravka is a decent backup, in fairness.

I blame Vance

I blame Vance

I think Pope Francis gave up the will to live after meeting him.

I'm an atheist but I saw him as a decent and serious man in a time of idiots and monsters. RIP.

First anniversary of my little brother's departing.

The Beeb gets all its news from NSC these days.

RIP. He was one of the better ones.

I think it is clear that meeting someone as ‘dark’ as J D Vance yesterday was too much for him.

First, Liz Truss finishes off Queen Elizabeth II and now Vance does for The Pope.

These are not coincidences people.

I shan’t believe it until Lenny the RiPper announces it.

Long live Pope Francis

If his faith is any good he will be up and running again in the morning.

He always struck me as a decent, humble person - an example a lot of leaders, religious and secular, would do well to follow.

RIP

He didn’t exactly look like he would do a triathlon anytime soon when they wheeled him out in Rome yesterday. As a dedicated atheist I do enjoy watching a bit of Urbi et Orbi.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He was certainly one of the better Popes. He had understanding and compassion.

He’s Pope-d his clogs
