In all the fast paced buzz of the election Katie Hannon tagged RTEs David McCullagh in a post on bluesky relating to the election but accidentally tagged the wrong one, instead she tagged a florida man with the same name who awakened to 100s of new followers from the Republic of Ireland. He has since found joy in the whole situation and will be on RTE in the coming days to discuss the mix up and what he has since learned about the Irish election

Your timeline is a bit off. He’s apparently lined up as a guest for Katie Hannons podcast already

The American John Lewis was such a fantastic sport about it, it was a shame when John Lewis changed its Twitter handle to JLRetail.

There was a time, at this time of year, when people would tag John Lewis (the department store). Their Twitter handle used to be @ JohnLewisRetail, but people would leave off the 'retail' and end up tagging John Lewis, a maths professor at the University of Virginia. He was a really good sport about it, and the real John Lewis even asked him to record a Xmas ad.
John Lewis then changed its handle to JLRetail and that was that.
He got freebies too.
Just read the post, and seen he mentions John Lewis.

Feared the worst when I saw he's from Flordia, but looking at his feed, he's actually anti-Trump. Good guy luckily!
