50 years ago today, a tube driver went to work with £270 in his pocket, which he said was to buy his daughter a car. A few hours later, 43 people were dead after that same driver careened into a wall at Moorgate station. Why? Well, nobody knows. www.thetimes.com/uk/london/ar...

Fifty years after the Moorgate Tube disaster, one question remains

It was the worst crash in London Underground history, killing 43 people in a storm of metal. Was it suicide?

Quite a few executive order references here, which makes sense..... ✍️Trump issued 220 Executive Orders last time, the most in a single presidential term since Carter.

Foreign wars, spiking inflation and the second act of a pandemic: historians will have no shortage of things to say about Joe Biden’s presidency. Using a variety of data sources, The Times gets the measure of the past four years. How does Biden’s America compare to that of his predecessors?

Where does Joe Biden’s presidency rank?

The data paints a bleak picture: he has been unpopular, presided over soaring inflation and his standing among allies has paled in comparison with Obama’s

Over the past 6 months, my social media timelines have been increasingly filled with AI slop. It's now some of the most viewed content online. But where does AI slop come from, and how can you spot it? In today's @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/article/b627...

Why ‘AI slop’ is taking over the internet — and how to spot it

The trust we had in pictures and videos is vanishing as artificial intelligence becomes better at fooling us — but there are ways to detect AI-generated content

🧵 Mo Salah is playing some of his best football at the age of 3️⃣2️⃣ but will Liverpool offer him a new deal? The amazing @hkhaliqueloonat.bsky.social and I looked at how forwards age and the risks involved offering older players lucrative contracts @thetimes.com #ddj www.thetimes.com/sport/footba...

thetimes.com

Why Liverpool may be unwilling to give Mo Salah the deal he wants

Given the 32-year-old’s present form, the case for meeting his contract demands may seem convincing, but the stats show a sharp drop-off once forwards reach the age of 33

Insightful chart and commentary highlighting the difficulties govt are having on the comms side. Not many 'positive stories' cutting through, but a number of 'negative' ones are.

London (52,202) had almost twice the number of reported mobile thefts that New York City had in 2023 (29,200). But how does our capital fare against other European cities? Answer: not well.
