"I like the Pope, the Pope smokes woke."
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

Like everyone, I'm baffled by this - but I think with a tweak it could have worked. I don't do my Christmas shopping at Argos, not because I think they only do toys, but because it's where I'd buy a drill or a kettle, not a nice gift item. Maybe that's the perception they needed to break?
Why is Will from the Inbetweeners* doing a TV advert spreading awareness that Argos sells more than just toys? Of course it does, it’s Argos. I feel like there’s a whole cultural perception of Argos that’s passed me by
