This is a very good piece. Extremely dystopian morning thought is that I link the preference for internet friends and AI content to the growing trend of “going no contact” with parents/family/anyone who annoys you now. Much easier to go no-contact when the AI will still tell you you’re great.

Heartbreaking scenes in Liverpool, on what was meant to be a day of celebration. If you were at the parade or in the surrounding area and have information/footage that could help the police, please call 101 quoting log 784. As we await further information, praying everyone affected will be okay 🙏

Really sad news. Many tributes will quite rightly be paid to Andrew Norfolk's investigative journalism, but when he talked to me for the book Journalism: Principles and Practice he also had plenty of wise words about getting the basics right, as learned in the local press.
