Cardinals are traveling to Italy in order to start selecting the new Pope. Always a jester, President Trump threw his hat into the ring put out an AI picture of him in the role, one which he probably would like simply because it's a lifetime appointment although I suspect, knowing his taste in decor and gold and gilding, he'd find the Vatican a tad plain. Anyway, I think the vote starts on Wednesday when they start emanating smoke from that chimney, as the Vatican Bank starts setting fire to financial records.

Theatre news in San Francisco as “Luigi the Musical” is preparing to open. This is a musical comedy about Luigi Mangione, who murdered the UnitedHealthcare CEO, leaving 2 young kids without a father although the producers promise a “bold, campy and unafraid” performance. I'm not sure if the soundtrack will be released as an album although if it is then it will be in the aisle labeled 'criminal records' I once tried writing a musical about my vegetable garden but I couldn't find the plot and I didn't have enough beats.

There was a massive power cut in Spain this week and there's many theories as to what tripped the grid, although my money is on a bunch of girls on holidays all having their hair driers going with the AC turned up to max. When the lights did eventually come on, I was expecting Madeline McCann to jump out and shout "Boo!"

There was also some fairly major elections in England & Wales which saw the legacy parties beaten up fairly badly by the Reform Party and so it was given almost no attention by the BBC who decided to run with Prince Harry's latest interview about how the Royals are baddies and he is just a regular down on his luck millionaire who deserves round the clock security paid for by taxpayers. There's plenty of articles about the various lies the pair of them continue to tell although my favorites would likely be [1] how Megan claimed her passport was taken from her, despite 14 foreign trips with plenty of photos and magazine articles to prove it. Or how we know know they were already negotiating TV deals long before they stepped down. Or how she was apparently turned down from advertising cosmetics because of racism and conspiracy, rather than her just being insufferable. On the other hand, she could both have done a lot of makeup adds, given that she's 2 faced.
