In Schloss Kammer am Attersee II (1909), even the landscape wears a mask. Klimt flattens the castle and the water into a single, painterly textile, stitching stone and reflection together to trade gravity and depth for a beautiful, infinite surface.

Wonderful & evocative pic, taken by Louis Klemantaski, showing Stirling Moss’s Maserati 250F dancing through long shadows in a morning practice session at Monaco’s Mirabeau corner in ’56. Moss won the #MonacoGP #OnThisDay that year - 70 years ago today - & he’d go on to win it again in ’60 & ’61.

Design legend Margaret Calvert is 90 today. Look at that cake! If you've ever admired a road, rail or metro sign in Britain it's likely she had something to do with it. One of Britain's design heroes - happy birthday to her. Photo by: @oshgallerylondon (IG) Cake by: mybaker.co

I see no lies here

Leclerc makes a mistake, Piastri capitalises... and harvesting/deployment/Overtake Mode/whatever hands the place back to Leclerc. Anyone who tells you this dismal spectacle is the same thing as real motorsport is only trying to sell you something. #F1 #MiamiGP #RaceFans

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

#OnThisDay 30 years ago Damon Hill won at Imola for Williams. But, for a change, just look at this lovely Darren Heath pic of Rubens Barrichello en route to 5th, his 3rd consecutive top-5 finish for Jordan: 2 wheels in the air, pin-sharp, great light, lovely colours, what’s not to like?👌

"Lance Stroll is talking so much sense here" was not on my 2026 bingo card, but there you go...

In the 1860s, Monet and Renoir shared lodging in the countryside. Struggling financially, they planted potatoes and lived off the crop. While the Paris Salon rejected their art, they survived—painting by day, digging by night.

Clever sleuthing by Jon Noble of The Race, showing how the new #F1 regs are making flat-out balls-to-the-wall quali laps impossible. The phrase that springs to my mind is: anyone who isn’t confused by F1 in 2026 really doesn’t understand the situation! www.the-race.com/formula-1/ch...

Strap the fuck in, Neurosis are back. With AARON TURNER.

"History has lied to you". No it hasn't, and it's really sad that a university is using this framing. Historians debate evidence - often, as here, quite fragmentary. They question received ideas, test new theories, correct mistakes. That's the joy of history. But it doesn't mean others "lied". /

I’m claiming Nonsentient Headless Bodyoid as my death metal band name.

If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause. Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

"Red Lobster went bankrupt and your first instinct was "I haven’t been there in years." That is the eulogy for the entire American middle class in one sentence."

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

I took a couple hours and tried to articulate what we’re trying to do. We need more sites that aren’t terrible and we need more ways to fund them.
