Having hit the Jackmonroepot with her life changing, er, Twitter thread and spent the day arguing with the economics editor of the FT and tweeting her kerrazy kitchen Jack has hopefully finally softly, gently, gone to bed.

A proper recap would be appreciated, as would the words squatty and potty never being uttered again.

I know it’s a bit spill the tea or put the teacup down. My friend tweeted a somewhat anti Jack tweet nothing malicious or anything like that, but they’re getting a lot of tweets in agreement. I’d share but I don’t want them getting piled on because of me. I’d be careful if I was Jack she might be getting praised off the blue tick brigade but there’s a lot of people starting to see what her game is.

In our last thread
-The blueticker wall has fallen. Yesterday it was “thanks H” to Hugh Grant, today it’s retweets by Mom.
-One plucky accountant challenged Jack’s Jackonomics thread.
-All queries were originally met with the excuse that prices were based on Jack’s Local Supermarket. The sun was hardly on the wane when snark attack Jack appeared. All queries are now rebutted with Jack’s “lived experience” of being poor where she had to use socks and free newspapers as sanitary towels. Or something. There’s more she hasn’t revealed
-The Editor of the Financial Times gently, carefully tried to tell Jack she was wrong. You in trouble, girl! She threatened to apply for a job. Job requirements- experienced economist interested in journalism. Snigger.
-just when it all seemed too much to bear, WHO DAT appeared on BBC news dressed as Karen Monroe and then showed the makeshift studio created in one of her bathrooms. She has a squ@tty p0tty worth around £60. Always wanted to picture that, thanks Jack.
-It seems so long ago, but after staying up all night taking the mascaras and palettes out of the apothecary draws and putting tea in them, Jack rearranged the kitchen to look like a 70s themed nightmare. With Burberry scarf in full view.
-she didn’t go to bed last nigh, so now she’s been awake 41 hours LBC tomorrow!

You are a Hotes because that is one hell of a recap. So much has happened in such a short time.

I found a couple of wtf tweets regarding Jack.

ETA: removed my previous allegations until I can find the time (I’ve been BUSY) to do my proper homework and find the LITERAL RECEIPTS….(I am not Jack)

As you were.

There’s a media section in the wiki (tab top left ) where you can just upload screenshots. I think it’s worth us uploading some of the “repeat offender” ones like the ones someone did a few threads ago. I need to do some Jig to wake me up.

 

[ChickenPorridge]

Maybe some good will come of all this, and she will finally change that god-awful pinned tweet.

 

[HotesTilaire]

I’ve chucked a few “rattle rattle” examples in media and tagged them “PayPal” I will look for some more because it really helps if the date is captured.
Edit - can’t be arsed

What is the record for fastest completed thread? I am guessing it will be around thread 31 but that last one must have been close?

P.s. I commented a while ago saying I was waiting for an ADHD assessment and that part of my fascination with Jack is that she's everything I don't want to be. Anyhoo, I've been diagnosed and I'm taking medication. It's been great so far and I have more hope for the future than I have in a long time. Sorry to me-rail, I just wonder of there are others like me here. If so, I really recommend trying to access a assessment, or some other form of support.

Hello, we have a thread for ADHD diagnosed in adulthood, it’s in off-topic!

What is the record for fastest completed thread? I am guessing it will be around thread 31 but that last one must have been close?

Probably Jan 2021, we were doing a thread a day max for a while during covid/free school meals/Rishi mate
Edit Jan 13 2021 we had two threads that day

Thank you @HotesTilaire I will take a look!

How did I fall behind by a thread and a half in one day?! Long way to catch up, I'm still at the stage where Jack believes that the British government has a sinister secret plan to literally starve the poor to death by raising the price of tinned spaghetti (while the rich chow down on daily ready meals? Being rich is not as glamorous as I thought...).

I'm sure I've said it before, but Jack's level of political discourse is basically a teenager saying "OK HITLER" to their mum because she's asked them to tidy their room.

Yes an interesting way to deal with a migraine with aura and convulsions. Most people with either of them (in my case with migraines) take strong medication and need sleep, if not rest. Not bouncing around decorating kitchens and on twitter for 24 hours.
