I mean, there are catholic priests and officials that are very liberal - they do exist. But those people do usually not even get into a position as a bishop, so they are not on the table to potentially become cardinals.

Vatican itself does not have much influence on this election. Francis was smart enough to appoints lots of bishops from “remote” regions like for example Mongolia or Pakistan, who have not been able to form political networks with each other and make it far more difficult for court intrigues to work out. Yes , the conclave surely will see those again, but there should be a counter weight at play here

You should know that lots of countries and societies will not do this. Especially in the global south.

There is a roman saying, “the one who enters conclave as the pope [to be] leaves it as a mere cardinal”

The catch is that he did not appoint by ideology. His appointments were mainly based on the guys doing work for poor people, for migrants, and on them doing their jobs in the global south.

Quite a few of these he made cardinals are somewhat conservative in their views, especially regarding sexuality

I dont think he meant that towards DCs question. I think he simply knew that he couldnt answer the question without cursing so he did not bother

“That was Gabi, he might not have a manager tonight anymore” - Piastri on the Bortoleto-Alonso situation 😅

I wonder if this is the first time Gasly and Tsunoda have ever collided, given their teammate history

Fear of society to collapse or civil war to break out, I guess. Sentence could use a “still”

Hey @Serinus@lemmy.world, this post should probably now point towards !Television@lemm.ee since showsandmovies have moved there

They are not deleting accounts, they are disabling access from these countries to the accounts. Which has of course the same effect but can be circumvented with a VPN.

Well that was quick. Bluesky is already blocking people from Turkey from accessing the posts of certain anti-government turkish users.

Btw this is the quote they use in their press release:

Sara Turkestani, helmet design competition winner, said: “The competition gave me the chance to utilise my passion for art and design and showcase Saudi Arabia’s rich cultural heritage. The desert theme represents resilience and history combined with a modern style to represent F1. I am grateful for the chance to share my design, and I am so proud to see it on Fernando Alonso’s helmet. It’s such an honour to know that he will wear it for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.”

And

The celebration began with Aston Martin Aramco Driver Ambassador Jessica Hawkins – who made history a year ago as the first woman to drive a modern ground-effect Formula One car – returning to the wheel for the second time. The symbolic journey saw Hawkins take the AMR23 across Saudi Arabia, stopping at a number of locations, including Ithra, Aramco’s remarkable cultural home in Dammam, as well as a newly unveiled Aramco premium retail station, and finishing at the iconic Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

I like the dark tone

The Republic of Ragusa/Dubrovnik ceded this strip of land (Neum corridor) to the Ottomans in 1699 in order to prevent Venice from taking it.

It is not that easy to define where “stunt” begins. If an actor tells me “I won’t run down this alley, have the stunt person do it” I’m not gonna applaud him for being lazy. Actors doing small stunts is completely normal and should be. Big stunts of course should be done by professional stunt people.

Obligatory !cgpgrey@toast.ooo mention!

Edit: damn it, has the toast instance gone toast?

I see that you have a very good quota of comments that you get on every lemmy post you make. I dont think that’s true for every poster, especially when posting to niche lemmy communities.

But yes: of course the lemmy format invites comments way more than the microblogging format of mastodon

Seems like his manager thought he might have a chance at replacing Doohan at Alpine, and since realized that’s not an option with Colapinto already being there
