Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

He’s hit the nail on the head. It is hard to care. I went to the Netherlands to watch the preseason tour and to the Coventry away game which takes some commitment but even I’m struggling to care about NCFC right now. Or get excited about going to the Carra. How did it go so wrong?

🤣 it’ll be interesting to see what happens this season. Norwich definitely aren’t going up. Not convinced Ipswich will either

Yeah it’s just too early to tell. And even if we sacked him there is no quick fix. Things could get worse

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 1d

🤣 16 years will be hard to beat but good luck with the rest of the season!

Changing coach will make things worse - I don’t believe he’s lost the dressing room

🟩🟨 Knapper and Webber fiddle as Norwich City FC burns.

🗣️ @garygowers.bsky.social

▪️ Typical second-half drop-off in quality
▪️ A squad bereft of both flair and balance
▪️ Losing has now become a habit

For what it’s worth I’m happy for you all. It’s only a game after all and you deserved the win. My boys both played at Ipswich foundation on Saturday for Norwich disability teams and everyone we met there was lovely.

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 3d

I think the team is improving. Upward trajectory for sure it’s just not showing in the results yet. Wednesday night we were better and today even more so. Sacking the manager now would be a disaster imho. Knapper can do one though

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 3d

Also, I don’t think either team was particularly good today. You had the edge but you’re not going to beat teams like Coventry playing like that

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 3d

🤣 Yep, we should’ve made him train with the U21s for the year and leave on a free

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 3d

Nunez is so thick he probably doesn’t know who he’s playing for 🤣 he can barely speak Spanish let alone English

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 3d

No point sacking the manager. The sporting director needs to go

Matt Hutchings @matthutchings.bsky.social · 3d

Right, who are we gonna sack? Webber and Knapper first?

What a huge day it is for #NCFC and Liam Manning. The club’s first ever Norwich-born head coach goes into his first East Anglian derby knowing it has the potential to shape his time at the club in one way or the other. Here are his thoughts 👇

In many ways this would be one of the most painful of East Anglian derbies for Norwich City to lose.
