And so it begins

Bxl, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw and London need to organise - and quickly

Only Connect is on tonight at 8pm! But Rod Liddle, and others who find the intros difficult, would be advised to tune in at 8.02, by which time I'll have finished banging on about Helen who lives in The Matrix and has written us an anxious letter.

I profiled Tim Cook. I also informed the CEO of Apple that people name their group chats.

@ned_hobbs @sathNHS Congratulations Ned! Brilliant news. Best of luck

The fascinating findings of a recent study into ethnic minority political views. Once you stop talking about ethnic minorities as a homogenous blob and look into the differences between groups, you get some really rather striking results https://t.co/PEjtGG0Tnb

This morning I had my first visceral “🤯” moment with AI for ~2 years

🧵on o1 and cryptic crosswords:

My test for new models is a set of cryptic crossword clues that aren’t online (my granny wrote them). Every model so far has been completely useless at them… but o1 gets them

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.

I just want to add that this was the idea of our fantastic editor Husain Husaini. So simple and yet so effective at keeping Evan in our minds

Every day on our @TimesRadio Breakfast show, we counted the days in which Evan Gershkovich of the Wall Street Journal was wrongly imprisoned by the Russian state. We got to more than 490. So delighted that we will never have to say “500”. He is being freed today.

I’ve really felt the gap in geography between London and Merseyside this week. This beautifully written piece from @patrickkmaguire has helped bridge it.

Southport. A town of ordinary people working hard and getting on.

The Democrats are taking the 100th anniversary of the 1924 convention a little too seriously

He’s so good at this.

At recent lunch with European ambassadors, I tried to coax out of them a sense of what they were writing to their capitals on emerging Keir Starmer foreign policy.

On the eve of big European Political Community meeting at Blenheim, I speculate they are saying a mix of … ⬇️ 🧵.
