Soft Machine co-founder Mike Ratledge has passed away today. He had such a distinctive and inventive voice as a soloist. I count myself lucky to have seen him play several times. A brilliant composer, he was also cool as fuck.

On this day in 1950, George Orwell, journalist, writer, socialist, died in London aged 46. Pictured here with his adopted son Richard. Seventy-five years on, especially in these dark times, essential reading or re-reading (and not just Animal Farm or 1984). RIP Eric. #Orwell

Even if you don’t read the Guardian/Observer but care about the future of journalism and democracy, you really need to read this excellent thread. Solidarity.

I don't see many long threads on here, but I'll try one - it's about Holbein's Ambassadors, his 1533 masterpiece in the National Gallery. It's often presented as a great mystery, but I think once we understand the circumstances in which it was made, its meaning becomes clearer. 1/
