The British TV gods need to work out some sort of educational travel show (by train maybe?) that puts Hannah Fry and @profaliceroberts.bsky.social together. A couple of icons to teach us things and make us want to go interesting places? Give me 19 seasons!

#TraitorsIRL should be how RTÉ justifies the license fee. Lower budget moments (last year’s cattle trailer death row, this year’s sheep task) aside, it’s otherwise monumental water cooler TV showcasing the best bits of Ireland: Craic, diversity, cute hoorism, ár gcultúr, and Siobhán. ‘Mon season 3!

Still sweating over thirty minutes later. I’m not (ever) a scream at the TV person, but apologies to the neighbours for the expletives I roared… What an ending! #TraitorsIRL

The absolute AMOUNT of Gaeilge that the cast has just been casually dropping into this year’s #TraitorsIRL has been an unceasing delight. Hon the Gaeilgeoirí! 😍

The scream I scrumpt when I saw BDG, Rekha, and Jeremy’s names pop up in the Star Trek: Starfleet Academy credits. Love seeing legends from my favourite network pop up in my favourite franchise! 😭 @dropout.tv

Your annual reminder that the most revealing difference between Irish and Scottish Gaelic is definitely in the words for December: Mí na Nollag (Month of Christmas) in Ireland, and An Dubhlachd (the Blackness) in Scotland. So once again may I wish you all a lovely Blackness.

On this, the last day of Michael D. Higgins' presidency, I think it's important to acknowledge that a 5'3 man deciding to be followed everywhere by two enormous Bernese Mountain dogs was a great bit.

Couldn’t be happier with how season one of #TraitorsIRL went. Incredible production design (not death row…), phenomenal cast, ✨SIOBHÁN✨, her outfits, Kevin, the swearing, the tae, the Irishness of it all, the gorgeous hounds, and a very satisfying ending. Worth the license fee alone. ‘Mon season 2!

The production value on #TheTraitorsIRL and Uncloaked has really been surprisingly excellent for a show shown on/financed by RTÉ*. *except that cattle truck for death row tonight, obviously, which was giving St. Patrick’s Day parade 1991 vibes.

If @gamechangershow.bsky.social had decided Samalamadingdong was the series finale, it would have made total sense. Like… FRIENDS level finale excellence. But they’re already working on season eight? How on earth are they going to surpass season seven?!

Started watching Fantasy High: Freshman Year last week and it’s safe to say that @dimension20.bsky.social has *fully* moved in to my brain and has no intentions of paying rent. Found myself thinking about who the Big Bad will be while walking around a homewares store earlier. Utterly joyous TV!

the funniest thing about the gulf of america stuff from someone who grew up beside the irish sea is that you know that these places are named based on their relationship to other places as seen from the hegemon instead of being named after the hegemon. you realise this in primary school.

The penultimate episode of #TheTraitors was great fun, but with that twist, I have *no* idea how it’s going to end. More than that, I don’t entirely know how I want it to end. So good!

When Kim Irvine bemoans that guests are paying too close attention to the AI art in a poorly designed Haunted Mansion giftshop, she might want to listen.....to herself from The Imagineering Story.

Eight(ish) years ago, I was in Florida on election night, and everything felt very dark and unpleasant. The next day I went and took a walk around World Showcase and paid attention to the cultural rep program CMs interacting with guests and then things didn’t feel so dark.

I hope the tiktokers that pick bluesky looking for a place to hang in the interim understand we are all 38 and we mostly talk about deep space nine. They're very welcome here of course but I don't know how many people are going to know what they're talking about.

The odd realisation that the weirdly laid out Tomorrowland in that recurring (or possibly just really memorable?) dream you had was actually just this area. No memory of ever having used these restrooms but I guess I must have ‘cos my subconscious slapped a tonne of neon on it and boom: dreamscape!

The most enjoyable thing about this year’s #TheTraitors is that every person seems to be actively trying to make their game harder. Volunteering to get off the train, fake accents, responding to “Traitors”, toasts, round table breakdowns, making moves like you’re Paul, giving “feedback”. Like, why?

Alan Rickman in dramas: impeccable comic line delivery, comic pauses, comic timing, all in the service of a richly complex dramatic performance. Alan Rickman in romcom: cheats on Emma Thompson.

I often wonder about the things I don’t love about WDW now — Generic modern hotels (with even more generic rooms), losing streetmosphere and entertainment, parks no longer being a source of content — vs. how busy and popular they are. Why did the target demographic’s wants change so dramatically? 🤷‍♂️
