George Floyd’s family has reached a $27 million settlement with the city of Minneapolis to avoid a civil wrongful death trial stemming from the May 2020 killing of Floyd by police officers. The $27 million is the largest pre-trial settlement in a civil rights wrongful death case in U.S. history, the Floyd family’s legal team said in a statement. Additionally, $500,000 from the settlement will go toward community improvement in the 38th St. & Chicago Ave. business district in Minneapolis where Floyd died. “George Floyd’s horrific death, witnessed by millions of people around the world, unleashed a deep longing and undeniable demand for justice and change,” Civil rights attorneys Ben Crump said in a statement. “That the largest pre-trial settlement in a wrongful death case ever would be for the life of a black man sends a powerful message that black lives do matter and police brutality against people of color must end.” Tap the link in bio to read more.
Thirty years ago, R.E.M. dropped an album called 'Out of Time' — and nobody was prepared for it. “Losing My Religion,” “Half a World Away,” “Country Feedback,” “Near Wild Heaven” — these were the most soulful, gorgeous songs the boys from Athens G-A had ever written. This comeback changed everything about the R.E.M. story, but it also presaged the whole decade to come. They basically invented the Nineties with this album.

After previously calling the Grammys “corrupt,” The Weeknd revealed Thursday that he would boycott the annual event in the future after his After Hours was snubbed at this year’s awards. “Because of the secret committees, I will no longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys,” Abel Tesfaye told the 'New York Times,' noting that he would boycott the Grammys going forward. Even though 'After Hours' was one of the year’s top-selling albums and the single “Blinding Lights” one of 2020’s hits — and despite the fact that the Grammys were reportedly in negotiations with he Weeknd to perform for this year’s Covid-impacted ceremony — Tesfaye didn’t receive a single nomination at the 2021 Grammys.

In March 2020, the world shut down. That left the class of 2020 stranded — facing the seemingly insurmountable task of establishing adult lives during a time when being an adult feels pretty much impossible for everyone. In an effort to understand their fears, concerns, and frustrations, over the past year 'Rolling Stone' has spoken with dozens of recent college graduates from all over the country.

Michael Regan, who will be the first black man to run the EPA, tells 'Rolling Stone' that rebuilding the agency is his first priority. “We have world-renowned experts at EPA,” he says. “We should be listening to them, and we will.” With the Biden administration vowing to use every bit of executive power to tackle climate change, a revitalized EPA will be at the center of its ambitious targets to reduce emissions. “I will be laser-focused on how we limit methane emissions,” Regan says of the potent greenhouse gas released in natural-gas operations. He lists environmental justice and water quality as his other priorities, but guiding his approach on all of these ambitions is the belief that what’s good for the planet can also be good for workers and for business — a conviction Biden shares. “All of those priorities that I just laid out will be good for people, the planet, and profit,” Regan says. His personal philosophy is one “of trying to meet people where they are, understand everyone’s challenges, whether it’s an individual or a company, and then think through, ‘How do you get to the solution in a way that can possibly work?’” Tap the link in bio to read more.

Louis Ottens — the Dutch engineer credited with inventing the audio cassette tape — has died at the age of 94. Dutch newspaper 'NRC Handelsblad' first reported that Ottens died March 6th in Duizel, the Netherlands. No cause of death was provided. A longtime engineer at the Dutch electronics and technology company Philips, Ottens — in his role as head of the product development department — led the Belgian team charged with converting the bulky reel-to-reel tape recorders of the era into something more portable and consumer-friendly; Ottens’ goal was to make a cassette tape that could fit a jacket’s inside pocket. After its development, Philips’ audio cassette made its debut at electronics fairs in August 1963. Soon after, Japanese electronics companies created their own iteration of the audio cassette of varying sizes, but Ottens struck a deal between Sony and Philips to ensure their model would become the patented cassette on the market.

Princess Diana’s controversial biography has returned to Amazon’s bestsellers list, days after the late royal was mentioned in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Originally released in 1992, 'Diana: Her True Story – in Her Own Words' is back in the Top Ten on Amazon’s top British books chart, where it has slowly climbed since Harry brought up his late mother during the revealing interview with Oprah. Though it was never billed as an “official” biography (and its claims contested by the palace), the book was written with Diana’s cooperation, and Morton has said that he spoke to the princess on multiple occasions. In the book’s forward, he even mentions sending Diana a copy of the book’s manuscript. It’s through these interactions with Diana, Morton says, that she revealed to him her true feelings about the monarchy, speaking openly about her unhappy marriage to Prince Charles, the lack of support she received from the Queen, and the struggles she felt with maintaining a happy image, while she was falling apart on the inside. It almost came to head when Diana attempted suicide, the book reveals — something Markle admits she contemplated as well. Tap the link in bio to read more. Photo: Herman Knippertz, @apnews
Stevie Nicks for Rolling Stone, September 3, 1981. "I’ve got to become stronger because I am very sensitive, and everything really touches me. I love the mysterious, the fantastic. I like to look at things otherworldly and say, ‘I wonder what goes on in there?’" Revisit the cover story, written by Timothy White, at the link in bio.

Fiona Apple for Rolling Stone, January 22, 1998. "To anyone that knows me, I just had something on my mind and I just said it. And that’s really the foreshadowing of my entire career and my entire life. When I have something to say, I’ll say it." Revisit the cover story, written by Chris Heath, at the link in bio.

Janet Jackson for Rolling Stone, October 1, 1998. "No one asked me if I wanted to go into show business. It was expected. That’s what I did when I was seven. When I said I wanted to act, my father said, ‘There’s more money in singing. You’ll sing.’ Now I’m grateful, because my heart is in singing. But to get to that gratitude took twenty-five years of often feeling lost and alone." Revisit the cover story, written by David Ritz, at the link in our bio.
