A Prince for every occasion: He created his own borderless genre—and always sounded exactly like himself - Salon.com Funk, soul, R&B, rock, pop, blues—Prince conquered them all, and championed female artists along the way

Can’t believe Prince has been gone 10 years. Here’s my obit for him from @salon.com on that sad and shocking day.

The Guardian view on a much-needed boost for the arts: rebuilding England’s cultural landscape Dazzling new additions like V&A East are a source of national pride, but so are much-loved regional institutions

"The UK has one of the lowest levels of government spending on #culture among European countries, funding per person falling by nearly a third since 2010. Yet the cultural sector is a wealth generator (an estimated £40bn in 2024) and major weapon of soft power."

If you ask me, Sen. Jon Ossoff is sounding more and more like a potential 2028 presidential candidate.

Also: Really great effortless click-bait layouting there by Variety.

"Orange man against the Pope!", "worst spat of pope against divorced politician since the reformation". Sterling work by #thenewsquiz R4. But #thenakedweek is better.

Illustration von Sargträgern, die einen Sarg tragen. Textzeile: ÖLmanager lachte sich tot, als er in Übergewinnphase vom Verbrenner-Auto-korso gegen Treibstoffpreise las

Ich sage es mal so: Solange deutschlandbewimpelte Flachdenker mitten in einer fossilen Übergewinnphase und Klimakatastrophe ausgerechnet in einem Verbrenner-Autokorso nach Berlin schüsseln, um dort im Kreis fahrend gegen hohe Spritpreise zu demonstrieren, ist Sprit einfach noch nicht teuer genug.

I’ve had the good fortune to meet & talk with TIM CURRY — 80 Candles 🎂 today — a good few times over the years, and I can tell you that whatever you would’ve hoped him to be in real life, he truly is: charming, ribald, very funny, witty as f**k, larger than life, & just lovely.

Daily Mail's Brexit poll goes hilariously wrong The Daily Mail perhaps didn't get the results they were expecting from their readers when they asked if Britain should rejoin the EU.

Tulips in many colours and a fake windmill in the background

Took the kids to a #Tulips attraction in #Warwickshire and it was very kitsch and lovely. Complete with windmill and #pofferties (Dutch pancakes) #gardening

This is excellent.

Oh! Sigmar Solbach. And Michaela May, my first teenage TV crush ... Enjoy. Alte Pinakothek is also a good afternoon if the weather is bad.

Would love to hear what you're going to watch.

Good luck! I'll follow your progress (we are currently divided between France / Italy, or going back to Germany where we were born ... ignoring a bit why we left 30 years ago)

So wie wir unseren (Groß-)Eltern nicht abnehmen, dass sie alle doch „eigentlich“ Antifaschisten waren, werden uns unserer (Enkel-)Kinder nicht abnehmen, wir seien doch eigentlich alle für #Klimaschutz gewesen. Auch wenn wir noch so kräftig bei Umfragen unser Häkchen an der richtigen Stelle setzen…
