for anyone who doesn’t understand the new blue ticks on twitter, you can easily see who has been properly verified by twitter or who bought it by clicking on the tick. for anyone who is a celebrity/public figure/official or news accounts etc, it will show that they are verified by twitter and don’t pay. i’ve used bbc news and Nigella as an example. anyone who’s bought the tick (Jack) it will show they are subscribed to twitter blue meaning they pay £8 a month to be given the tick

Imagine if you will, Jack paying £8 a month for a blue tick.
imagine then Elon Musk failing to add the blue tick she paid for.
If you could then imagine Jack emailing him tens of times asking what she paid for. She knows he’s online because he’s tweeting a load of shite all over his timeline.
She continues to pay because if she doesn’t she’ll fall into the forgotten pile.
2 years later, imagine Jack’s rage if Elon still hasn’t given her blue tick.
she tweets him, he says he’ll deal with it, says he’s sorry he couldn’t do it sooner but he had a sore shoulder.
weeks go past and she’s forced to ask again and he blocks her.
She’d be fuming.

I’ve been slowly, softly, gently, painstakingly you might say, mulling over the unreliability of Jack’s recipes.
If you’ve followed the slop-along threads you’ll know that a few of us have recreated, almost to the letter, Jack’s recipes and almost all have resulted in failure or inedible food.
Collectively the canal have spent a fair whack of money trying to create the food Jack has been selling in her 7 books.
I’m reminded these books are, or were, targeted at people living in poverty, and those who were relying on foodbanks. Perhaps looking to create something more interesting from basic ingredients.
what I find to be grossly offensive is that Jack clearly never tried these recipes before creating them. She’s put a lot of people at risk of wasting money and time, feeling like a failure and throwing good food away.
What I find equally offensive is that the proof readers, editors, publishing team etc obviously never checked the recipes or the methods, therefore Jack’s mistakes have continued. For seven fucking books.
This, to me, sends a clear message that PanMacMillan couldn’t give a fuck about people on a meagre income and won’t spend the time or money making sure these recipes are foolproof. It’s making me very sad.

Why does she always speak of her own child in a transactional way? As though she is owed something for providing the basics to him? And don’t get me started on the next tweet where she shows what she’s feeding the dog - she’s either full of shit about this (likely) or full of shit that she’s so poor she can’t afford shower gel or lightbulbs (also likely)

A squig had complained about a newsletter/blog they subscribe to writing the following about Jack.
It has now been updated to this...
The link on contested goes to the Awfully Molly blog which suggests pushback from more than one reader. Sorry, I'm not sure what blog or newsletter this is as it wasn't identified on the thread I nicked these from. There are more and more signs of Jack's days of getting a free pass for her grift being well and truly over.

Be fair. She sometimes thinks an alcoholic looks like this as well
But it’s ok! Because after being off alcohol for ONE WEEK, alcoholics can transform themselves from what you see on the left here to this! With your clunge on the counter (again) and your knee on the hob.
and in that one week immediately after you stop drinking “200 units a WEEK” you can do all this!!!
To Jack AND The Guardian who gave you the platform to write this utterly repellent egregious effluent, I cannot stress this enough
FUCK YOU, YOU UTTER UTTER CUNTS. ABSOLUTE SHAME ON YOU

I don’t think anyone can set it out in one post, tender one, but here’s a beginning. Note that some images may repeat.

I never quite get the hype with Tom hardy. He always looks like his balls would smell to me. Much like Jack I suppose.Presentation matters. I wouldn't care if Tom Hardy himself offered to sauce my taters with this Toxic Avenger looking shit, I would leave the table if I saw this.

I’ve been through recovery with a loved one and after a week of not drinking he’d only just stopped vomiting. Was only just able to start to grasp what bringing had done to him. Was heavily medicated to stop shaking and help him sleep. He could no more have cleaned his house or done anything constructive at all than he could’ve grown wings and flown. Again it’s jacks version of the start of recovery and not reality.

If it helps resolve this, I would be prepared to sniff Tom Hardy's balls and draw up a report of my findings.For context, my ideal men are: my OH, Louis Theroux, Jarvis Cocker, a young Michael Caine, a young Ray Davies and Morrissey.
So not the Tom Hardy type at all.
All I can say is, I’d let Tom Hardy ruin my life. I don’t know what it is about him
Do we know for a fact that she actually still IS with the agent tho and hasn’t been dropped?
Her idea of what an active alcoholic looks like is so reductive and patronising and reinforcing of stereotypes. When I was at the worst of my addictions I still got up, put make up on, went to great efforts in fact to cover up and try to make myself look human. It’s not like we receive a special Alkies Uniform of black beanie and shapeless clothes as soon as we go over a certain intake a week. Jacks basically telling alcoholics that as long as they wear something fitted and can put contact lenses in, their drinking is in no way problematic and they don’t need help.
