Ariana Grande review - glittering hits and powerhouse vocals in stunning return to stage
Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles The pop star’s first tour in seven years brought the house down with emotive ballads and clubby bangers delivered with saucy wit If faced with the choice to erase one’s most painful memories or live with them forever, à la Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , you’d be forgiven for wanting to wipe them away. On the first night of a five-show run in Los Angeles promoting her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine , Ariana Grande riffed on the idea of memory erasure in an emotive, occasionally zany show that illuminated one of her hardest-won revelations: forgetting her most painful experiences isn’t a bargain she is willing to make. Grande has weathered tragedy and heartbreak in the public eye since her teenage years, including the death of her former boyfriend Mac Miller and the Manchester bombing that killed 22 fans at one of her concerts in 2017.

David Kemp obituary
Artist who built up an imaginative and playful picture of the world using the detritus of defunct industrial plants In 1981 the artist David Kemp went to live in Cornwall, settling in the village of Botallack, on a rugged, far-western clifftop, capped by a clutter of ruined tin mines. He adapted an old building to use as a workshop, and began painting old furniture with crazy, surrealistic scenes of temples, sea views, beasts and breasts. Although this sold well, he became increasingly interested in the rubbish he found lying around. The old mine had been used by all and sundry as a tip. There were, he quipped, “more fridges here than foxes”. Kemp, who has died aged 80, was soon creating art out of junk, fantastic beasts and mystic beings, and began to imagine he had stumbled across the detritus of a long-lost prehistoric cult.

Knicks in five and the NBA is alive: New York’s era-defining title is a win for the believers
For a half century, New York was the center of the universe but the joke of the NBA. In these glamour-filled finals, the franchise finally got its moment The New York Knicks had been here before. As Jalen Brunson and his band of not-so-merry men stood at the top of this year’s NBA finals, they confronted not just the San Antonio Spurs, their foe on the court, but the very idea of what the Knicks themselves – as a team, as a franchise, as a symbol of New York City – could be. The team’s run to last year’s Eastern Conference finals was thrilling but had the aspect of an underdog romp, and ultimately ended in defeat. Was this the limit of what New York’s fans, Rabelaisian in their rages and saintly in their endless capacity for patience, could expect from their team? Brunson was dogged and clever but perhaps not quite elite, a Stakhanovite toiler in a league built for transcendent talents.

Marriage: more than a paper exercise | Brief letters
Marriage wisdom | Fun with numbers | Musk power | Bus destinations | Hockney’s brother I enjoyed Polly Hudson’s wisdom on marriage ( I know it’s taboo – but I’m a big fan of marriage, 9 June ). However, I think she was fundamentally wrong when she wrote: “The haters say marriage is ‘just a piece of paper’, which is fundamentally true”. That would be like saying my degree is only the certificate. In both cases the significance is that which it points towards – something no physical object can truly capture. Rev Martin Joss Peterborough • Allow me, a number theorist, to lend support to Ian Harley ( Letters, 10 June ), and make some sense of the phrase “such fun’’ for Steve Lupton ( Letters, 11 June ).

One reason US democracy is in trouble? Its supporters are moving elsewhere | Justin Gest
The recent exodus of people – voluntary and not – from the US threatens to worsen America’s authoritarian slippage The recent frenzy of attempts to redraw electoral districts is ultimately about voice and silence in US democracy. When districts are cut to maximize one ideological perspective, the representation of large concentrations of Americans with opposing views can be diluted or erased. In many of the new Republican-drawn state maps, it will be as if such citizens have departed entirely. Since Donald Trump enacted a series of policies that undermine institutional checks and balances, new population data suggests that, at the same time, many such citizens have departed quite literally.

Scotland victorious on World Cup return after McGinn strike helps clinch win over Haiti
This all proved rather difficult to evaluate as the dust settled. Scotland’s fifth win at a World Cup finals should have been a cause for epic celebration. Victory over Haiti meant this is a team not guaranteed to receive a bloody nose against lesser nations after all. More than 10,000 days after limping out of the World Cup in France, Scotland returned to the biggest stage in football and claimed three points. They top Group C. Yet in the Boston Stadium, the counter narrative was more than a feeling. With Morocco and Brazil to come, this single goal success may prove insufficient as Scotland look to emerge from the group phase for the first time. This regressed into an unconvincing display from Steve Clarke’s team. Haiti lacked the composure to punish that. Still, those who would blindly celebrate Scotland’s win are probably ignoring a bigger picture that should matter. John McGinn’s go

The monument excites reverence for the Declaration of Independence. Of course it is threatening to a president who doesn’t share its egalitarian vision The Lincoln Memorial has always been special. Its siting is perfect, facing the Capitol, across the length of the Mall, as if speaking truth to power. The symmetry of its proportions adds to its moral grandeur. It feels balanced and and open to all, like Lincoln’s vision of democracy. That was consciously on the mind of the architect, Henry Bacon. It is not a towering monolith; instead, it invites the visitor in. There are some steps to climb, but not too many; 87 in all, chosen specifically because of the “four score and seven” in the Gettysburg Address, the number separating the year of Lincoln’s speech (1863) from 1776, the year of the Declaration of Independence.

Welcome to California: land of plunder and hypocrisy | Mark Arax
From gold to water, California’s wealth was built on extraction. The AI boom is reviving an old question: who pays the price? I was a fourth-grader in the public schools of California when I first learned about the Gold Rush. I remember our teacher, Mrs Dyer, passing down the story in the manner of lore. On the morning of 24 January 1848, James Marshall, a New Jersey boy come west, stumbled upon four shiny nuggets alongside the American River. He tried to keep his discovery a secret, but the shout of “eureka” from the dirt streets of San Francisco rang out across the shore. It unleashed a force that could not be contained.

‘Have I been influenced, or is this actually me?’ How personal taste fell out of fashion
Our favourite music, clothes and books used to be markers of individuality – but the algorithm has made us all sheep. Meet the style rebels fighting back What are you into? What floats your boat?

You’re not alone. It has become impossible to ignore: personal taste has been seriously debased – if not completely destroyed – by technological advancement. We know the internet has radically altered the way we form our opinions and beliefs. Now we’re waking up to another sobering truth: it has wrecked our capacity to form our own preferences.

‘Suggestive toothpaste tubes shooting into mouths’: David Hockney’s winking celebration of queer life
He challenged homophobia not through sexualised imagery but by reshaping ideas of beauty, intimacy and desire. The result? From posters to cushion covers, A Bigger Splash has become an essential presence in countless gay households ‘He changed the world just by looking at it’ Obituary: David Hockney Six decades after David Hockney painted A Bigger Splash , his most famous painting, reproductions have become a visual motif in gay domestic life. I’ve seen framed posters, prints and postcards of the work – which captures the moment after a person jumps off a diving board into an otherwise still cyan blue swimming pool – in countless gay households. In my flat, it appears on a cushion cover that I bought after seeing the real thing at Hockney’s 2017 Tate Britain retrospective . It’s fitting that A Bigger Splash is now emblematic of this pioneer.
