Spoiler: OT nerd word film

if anyone is interested in words there is a film on Amazon about the production of the OED with Mel Gibson and, takes breath, Steve Coogan called The Professor and The Madman.

Had a thought about loving squiggle.

Jack makes changes all the time.

In her face.

In her lifestory.

Where she does her cookery.

How shitty bungalow is arranged.

She _literally_ is a manifestation of change.

Pointy things in the clutter kitchen of hell and more cosplay

How can anyone cook* in that kitchen?

*by cook, I mean throw together anything that vaguely resembles anything edible, place the result in a tiny dish and pretend it can serve 4.

This is so accurate. I almost feel like I’ve already watched this. Has Jack actually been a fictional character all this time? Is she a years long art project to see how gullible some people are?

But can she duck face wide eyed pout that all the actresses did in that. Also she needs to have a stern checking her phone face too.

Spoiler: Off topic

I don't know who Morrisey is

You must be very young (not being rude BTW).

 

[Whaa?]

Spoiler: Autism hall monitor

I’m dozens of pages behind, but wanted to make two points: (1) Self-diagnosis of ASD is at least a valid discussion — access to formal diagnosis is a privilege and there are endless reasons someone might be overlooked early in life. People can get nasty and gatekeeping about it with people who are most likely autistic (Jack’s still a cunt, tho, and the tweet she liked was too simplistic); (2) The #ActuallyAutistic hashtag is used by the autistic community to find each other — it’s in response to how almost everything you hear about autism comes from people who are not autistic. I’ve never seen the hashtag in the bio of someone with a large following like Jack’s. I don’t think she understood what it meant.

Spoiler

Thank you for the explanation. I did not know what the hashtag was either. I thought Jack was using it to advertise her autism, which she has either romanticized or used as an excuse for her behaviour since I followed her on twitter

Yes, monetise everything. But as soon as the child started to have a mind of its own, began to question her and answer back, off to daddy.

Also, that awkward pre-pubescent stage where they don't quite fit the 'cute' look these bloggers want for begging appeal
meant to write 'blaggers'!

He was always a bit odd. I remember when he was first out on the gay scene. Very full of himself, I had never met anyone with so much self confidence. What you would call a bit of a big head.

Puts me in mind of Jack, always thought he was deserving of better. He came from middle class background too, and resented it. Wanted to be seen as tallented working class made good. The more I think, he was very like Jack. Or should I say, given the age difference, Jack is very much like Morrisey.

Morrisey is gay, no one told me! Shame he became racist.

 

[Captainmouse]

OMG do you think Richie is Jack’s lawyer?

We need a talented frau/herr to create lawyerbot

 

[CuriousCat92]

Omg I'm pure gipping at the 'you were born to make changes' comment.

Grunkaing but this is one of the things that I find most frustrating about her. What has she achieved? First recipe book aside ( which was ok IMO).

 

[Readingismyhobby]

Jesus ..imagine the child if JM and Owen Jones if it's a boy would you call it Damien ...

Still convinced SB 's dad has majority of custody so she can twat around on SM ' working ' ...

I misread Damien and Denim

 

[JuliaGulia]

Yes, she could play Mrs Overall and make some delicious macaroons. Oh I see a problem there, she can't make delicious anything.

'They've been on a low light since Wednesdaaaay...' would be accurate though!

 

[BananaSmith]

Spoiler: Paella talk

This should probably go in food and drink but I don’t want to but (butt?) in there when paellas are here. When I was young I went to Spain and had a paella in a proper Spanish restaurant but instead of rice it was like chopped up noodles. Is that a thing? I’m never sure if I misremember the past, if I just went to weird places or if it is real!

That's fideua. Bloody lovely unlike Jack's paella.

 

[EllaEm87]

Is she....puppyish?

A bit of a scamp.

 

[FunnyFuneral]

oh LJC, we did Kevin breaking up people’s marriages and getting people up the duff at least three years ago

On the ball as ever Jack

 

[Captainmouse]

Are they still online? I’m happy to do a daily watch on the anniversary days?

In the wiki

 

[Orphan_Black]

imagine how much of a total pain in the arse pregnant jack would be

She makes some wacky combinations with food at the best of times, what kind of pregnancy craving slop would she concoct?!

I bet she would be full on by saying she had that awful morning sickness thing, piles, gas, achey aches, and for a bit of weekend chaos; eating the soap bars left on her doorstep

Damn I can’t find it. Basically that he was always involved, took him lots as a baby and he stayed there 3-4 nights a week at least at the time she wrote on MN.

What do Owen Jones and anchovy butter have in common?

Spoiler: you really don't want to read this

I first made anchovy butter in my kitchen at home on the cusp of autumn 2019. Faced with a pile of courgettes to use and a recipe book to write, I began to throw together whatever I had to hand to turn the pile of fat green vegetables in my fridge drawer into delicious dishes. It was 2pm, and I was trying to wrap up soon so I could pick my son up from school. I wanted something super quick, simple and that would keep for my dinner that evening. I poured a tin of anchovies in the blender, along with all of the oil, and added butter, on a whim. I pulsed it, watching the butter whip to a cupcake frosting consistency, flecked with freckles of brown. I gently braced myself as I dipped a tentative finger in. The smell was overpowering – I closed my eyes and sucked that finger and I swear my ovaries and arteries both gave the same deep internal groan – one in pleasure, one in fear.

"flecked with freckles of brown" is bringing back memories of the Night of the Prune Juice.

if it was only the cusp of autumn then why was your kid at schooooollllllll

 

[Eurgh]

Watch out, Dingle man! (Have never seen Emmerdale)

But what did you do between Hollyoaks and Corrie?

 

[Malkiavelli]

We really need a filing system for all the evidence we collect!

We do! Often the idea will be there to reference something she did or said or posted but because there's so much of it, finding it is a needle in a haystack like task..
