Maybe the most important conversation about race is one in which we are all willing to be human together 🫶🏻

Something strange is going on in the world of reading, children and schools in England. People praise the success of a reading programme that is resulting in 25-30% of children not reading at the expected standard.

Damilola Taylor was just 10 years old when he was fatally stabbed in 2000, while returning home from the library in Peckham. 💔 Tonight, 26 years after his death, a new documentary will look back at his story promising to shed 'new light' on his death. 🎥 Watch it on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer tonight. Rest in Power Damilola. Never forgotten. 🙏🏾🕊️

New data shows that just over a third of the 1.4 million participants in a study had high readings. The risks extend far beyond stroke.

A long time coming. The lives of the Grenfell community have been on pause for the last nine years, while those responsible for the deaths of 72 innocent people have continued to live theirs. I hope all those found responsible end up behind bars, where they should have been a long time ago, and that we finally see justice delivered.

Yayoi Kusama was a contemporary Japanese artist renowned for her immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms, polka-dot patterns & pumpkin sculptures. She lived an amazing life as an artist, breaking boundaries & blurring lines of her reality. She lived 97 years (1929- 2026) Rest in peace.

Today we mourn Tim Curry—a singular talent, a true original, and the man who first brought Dr. Frank-N-Furter to life. He didn’t just play an icon; he created one. Thank you, Tim, for the brilliance, courage, inspiration, and everything that followed. You will never be forgotten.

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Dolly Parton's family asked that, in lieu of flowers, fans make a donation to the singer's Imagination Library. Here's what the charity does ⬇️ rollingstone.com/music/music…
