This past Tuesday evening, as the White House wound down after another tumultuous day, Counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway was looking at Corgis on the internet.

Just after 8:30 P.M., Conway followed two corgi-related novelty Twitter accounts in rapid succession. First, it was <a href="https://twitter.com/TheCutestCorgis">TheCutestCorgis</a> (bio: "Because who doesn't love corgis?!?!") followed by OhMyCorgi, a powerhouse cute pet account with over 685,000 followers.

Normally this sort of peculiar detail might go unnoticed by even the most watchful of social media eyes. But thanks to a new Twitter bot now you, too, can keep tabs on the social media nuances of the Trump family and certain members of the White House as well.

The bot — @TrumpsAlert — claims to track “Trump family follow and unfollows” with the aim of trying to “figure out what is going on inside the White House.” It was created by James O'Malley, a freelance writer currently serving as GizmodoUK's editor. O'Malley got the idea after seeing a tweet claiming Donald Trump had unfollowed Kellyanne Conway, which triggered a rash of speculation about trouble in the West Wing.

“It reminded me of how North Korea is tracked by the west – by observing photos and messages coming from state television, analysts try to figure out who is in and out of favor,” O'Malley told BuzzFeed News over Twitter. “Given that the Trump Administration is essentially the same thing – Royal Court politics – I figured that watching the inner circle’s Twitter accounts could help us understand the Kremlinology of what is going on in the White House.”

While @TrumpsAlert probably won't generate any stunning revelations, the account does offer an interesting glimpse into the social media lives of Trump and those in his orbit.

For example, here the bot shows us Eric Trump’s July 1 dive down an MMA and professional boxing rabbit hole:

Or, when Don Jr. followed fellow Seth Rich conspiracy tweeter Kim Dotcom (who faces potential extradition to the U.S. for copyright infringement and money laundering charges).

In general, the bot does an excellent job chronicling Don Jr.’s beefed up conservative media Twitter list (which may have had something to do with a noticeable uptick in his tweeting in defense of his father).

The bot also catches some great Twitter beef that might have fallen off the radar. Including Don Jr. unfollowing comedian Natasha Leggero after she tweeted mocking a photo President Trump and Ivanka.

Here’s Leggero’s tweet:

Thanks to @TrumpsAlert, we learned that Kellyanne Conway didn’t follow Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders until July 5th.

Here's How To Use The New Snapchat Tinted Brush And Continuous Recording Features

Snapchat updated its app on Tuesday with two new features: a tinted brush (accessible through the scissors icon) and continuous video capture.

Tinted brush is available for iOS and Android; continuous video is available for iOS.

Apple

The instructions for the tinted brush say “Outline an object to change its color!” It basically just adds a transparent swatch of color over the something — but it's not SUPER-easy to use.

I tried to change my headphones purple, but ended up with a purple ceiling.

As for continuous recording…I couldn't figure it out. I kept pressing the record button, but each of the dozen times I tried it, the video would stop after 10 seconds.

After trying to use the new feature on three different colleagues' Snapchat accounts, I was finally able to get it working on one of them. If you're having trouble accessing the feature, Snap advises that you should try posting at least one video to your Story first to get the Multi Snaps feature to appear.

To continuously record, hold your finger on the record button, and Snapchat will capture up to six 10-second videos, which will then display as thumbnails at the bottom of your screen. You can edit them in the normal Snapchat way with stickers and filters, then send them all or just a few to friends or post them to your Story.

The company said continuous recording should be available to iOS users on version 10.13 or later.

Here is me, confused about the new feature, wearing blue eyeshadow:

Here is what the new feature looks like after you've recorded your Snaps continuously:

In other Snap news, you can now buy Snap Spectacles on Amazon, though they won't be in stock until July 25th.

Previously, the gadgets were only available in the United States at boutique vending machines called Snapbots, which you can locate using Snap's website. Snapbots and Spectacles arrived in Europe in June, though Spectacles are available online for customers in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, or the UK.
