Whatever the final outcome, the fact that Trump—a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, pathological liar, virulent bigot and utterly reckless manager who kowtows to Putin and despises democracy— is this close to regaining the White House is deeply disturbing.

[Dana Goldberg @DGComedy]

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

the fact that this will be a close election will never not be jarring to me

The thing about Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters deplorable is that they have since proved her right at every single possible opportunity

Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What'sa matter with you
C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-o

David Bowie late classic Slip Away.

If you were going to choose a metaphor for the 2024 Republican Party, a garbage truck chauffeuring around a billionaire traveling around in circles and going nowhere, all for a photo op, is pretty spot on.

1/ Hey, y’all - I’ve got a new investigation out.

We obtained never-before-seen videos featuring RUSS VOUGHT, a leader in the MAGA movement and former Trump official.

He lays out his sweeping plans for a second Trump admin — and his extreme vision for the country.

It's 🧵 time

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Do not be surprised if the polls over the next few days register a national backlash against Trump for this rally at Madison Square Garden intended to conjure up the fascist nightmare of the 1930s American Nazi Party

It is so dark, some voters may finally peace out from Trumpism

DAVID BOWIE CENTRE AT V&A EAST STOREHOUSE OPENS SEPTEMBER 2025

“Waiting for the gift of sound and vision…”

This has been a long time coming since we first announced back in February of last year. (https://t.co/jMZxH9zmY1)

It gives us much pleasure to share the press release following this morning’s London press event where details about V&A East Storehouse (https://t.co/nu5TKg82Vw) including an Order an Object service, new acquisitions, a reveal of opening displays and more about the David Bowie Centre were presented.

With introductions from the V&A’s Deputy Director Tim Reeve and V&A East's Director Gus Casely-Hayford there was also a panel discussion led by Naz Hamdi, along with a sneak peek inside V&A East Storehouse’s Collections Hall.

Keep reading for more information including details of the images presented here...

Opening on 13 September 2025, V&A East Storehouse’s free to access David Bowie Centre will be the new home of David Bowie’s archive, recently acquired by the V&A through the generosity of the David Bowie Estate, the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group. For the first time, the archive of 90,000+ items, which traces Bowie’s creative processes as a musical innovator, cultural icon, and advocate for self-expression and reinvention, will be accessible to everyone. Highlights include stage costumes such as Bowie’s breakthrough Ziggy Stardust ensembles designed by Freddie Burretti (1972), lyrics for songs including Fame (1975), Heroes (1977) and Ashes to Ashes (1980), as well as examples of the ‘cut up’ method of writing introduced to Bowie by the writer William Burroughs.

Split into three separate zones, the David Bowie Centre will have a mix of small, curated displays and audio-visual installations. There will also be quieter study areas, where visitors can delve into all aspects of Bowie’s archive on their own. From Bowie’s iconic costume to musical instruments, make-up charts, stage models, Oblique Strategies card decks, personal notes, writings, lyrics and music, sketches, designs and more, at V&A East Storehouse, visitors can get closer to David Bowie than ever before.

To develop the inaugural David Bowie Centre displays, the curatorial team consulted with 18–25-year-olds from the four Olympic Boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest through London Legacy Development Corporation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s Elevate Youth Voice. The small displays spotlight the wide range of objects within the archive and Bowie’s multi-dimensional creative approach, including his unrealised projects, collaborations, and influences. They also reveal the stories behind the creation of some of Bowie’s iconic albums and personas from Aladdin Sane to The Thin White Duke, and his significant influence on creatives from Lana del Rey to Lil Nas X and Issey Miyake. A series of rotating guest curators – including Bowie’s collaborators, experts, contemporary creatives, and young people from V&A East’s Youth Collective – will also be invited to share their insights and perspectives on the archive.
