Reposted by ParkerCharlie Warzel @cwarzel.bsky.social · 3hFor a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing 1132636854
Parker @parkertron.bsky.social · 3hI could only get so far. The false starts, the jagged sentences, the wretchedly impoverished vocabulary, the reaching for intensifiers as he struggles to express himself forcefully, the bluster, the recurring preoccupaton with his wounded vanity, the childish grievance (continues forever) 010
Reposted by ParkerHannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 7hWomen didn't get much of a mention in Andy Burnham's powerful conference speech, but his promise of a national social care service, free at the point of use and available in every home, is one of the most feminist policies I've seen. Thread... 👇 2133
Parker @parkertron.bsky.social · 7hThe decadence entailed in electing twice someone as unfit, corrupt, invincibly ignorant and insatiably greedy as Trump is something for which the whole world will pay a price. The question is how big the blast radius of his presidency will be. I'd say it's touch and go. 010

Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now. 25997342
