10th June 2026. The #SagradaFamília will experience a historic day.
Coinciding with the centenary of Antoni Gaudí’s death, a universal figure in modern architecture and creator of a unique architectural language, we pay tribute to his legacy.
One hundred years after his death, the Sagrada Família will celebrate a solemn mass presided over by Pope Leo XIV and, subsequently, the blessing and inauguration of the tower of Jesus Christ, one of the great milestones of the project conceived by Gaudí.
📲 Follow it live on our social media channels starting at 7:45 p.m.
El próximo día 10 de junio en el interior de la Basílica se celebrará la misa solemne en homenaje a Antoni Gaudí, oficiada por el Papa León XIV y concelebrada por Cardenales, Obispos y Presbíteros, acompañados por músicos y coros de toda Cataluña que llenarán el interior de la Basílica con su canto. Su presencia conferirá al acto una dimensión única y excepcional y lo situará como uno de los momentos más destacados de la historia reciente de la Sagrada Família.
In a New York minute ⏰
Located in Tribeca, New York City's only mechanical sidewalk clock has been keeping time for the neighborhood for the past six years and still has to be hand wound every week.
Today I got a behind-the-scenes look at the process and took part in a new project called It's About Time, where a different New Yorker is invited each week to help wind the clock and share their thoughts on time.
Thank you to Megan Marod for the nomination, and thank you to Tory Weil and the team for having me and introducing me to this unique piece of NYC history ❤️
What's your New York minute?

Stepping directly onto the set of HBO's The Gilded Age in Manhattan today, and the production scale is absolutely mind-blowing. To completely transform modern New York City back to the 1880s, the crew laid down massive textured carpets over the asphalt to perfectly mimic historic stone streets. There are over 350 background actors fully dressed in period-accurate costumes, alongside dozens of real horse-drawn carriages filling the block. It is incredible to see how much physical craftsmanship goes into creating just a few moments of television magic.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
