Bartlett and Grok : Bad Takes And Deep Fakes

This Trawl starts with some actual good news before Marina and Jemma get it into the latest dyed in the wool Tory to join Reform. Nadhim Zahawi has defected declaring “nothing works”, despite having personally had several goes at running the place. Reform continue to collect disgraced millionaires like badly laminated Pokémon cards, and the Trawl ladies are armed with some very amusing Farage receipts.Things then take a darker turn as Jemma and Marina wade into men saying deeply dodgy things on podcasts about women, birth rates and “correcting” female choices, with expert takedowns, internet reactions, and some very practical suggestions for men who’d like women to actually like them.And finally: what the hell is going on over at X? Men are using Grok to generate AI abuse towards women and even children and it's utterly depraved. The Trawl ladies play some voice notes from fellow female political commentators who have been affected. Still, Rupert Loew thinks it's all fine and that X should be 'protected.' What a hill to die on.All that, plus a reminder that not all men are dreadful wombats by way of a very lovely pudding. Bin fires extinguished.
