Bold of Taylor Swift to release an expanded edition of her worst album, but I’m still holding out some hope that the new songs might be an improvement on the original album.

Just got stung by a wasp for the first time in my life at the ripe old age of 32, and as Kylie would say before launching in to “Dancing” on the Tension tour, this was NOT ON THE SETLIST.

Me and my cunty little flag at Longford Pride (and @sbray.cc and @loulouboncheese.bsky.social, of course).

We're now 4 weeks away from marching through Roscommon as part of this year's Pride. For 2026, we've expanded from just the weekend to having events throughout the week beforehand which is a bit mad, and very exciting! If you're around, please show up and support us. All info here: roscommonpride.ie

Truly heartbreaking to get up early and go to parkrun only to discover that it wasn’t on this week 😭

I managed to get a place for the Dublin Marathon in October and now I’m panicking a bit! If anyone has any good training plans or tips, please share them – I’ll definitely need it. #runsky

Something else that deserves more attention than it’s getting: the third and final season of The Dry is gloriously funny and occasionally heartwrenching. It’s so brilliantly written and the cast are so believable as a totally dysfunctional Irish family.

Absolutely loved Hokum. It’s got some really good scares and a brilliant performance from Adam Scott (he had me rooting for him even though he’s awful). The story, visual effects and props are all amazing too. It deserves so much more attention than it’s getting.

Overall I was disappointed with Liza’s memoir. The issues are glaring – most of all the choppy writing style, but also the vagueness with which she speaks about various parts of her life. I would have loved something less guarded, but I suspect she’s playing it safe to protect her legacy.

Genuinely very sorry to see Tracy Clifford leaving 2FM. Her show has always been a burst of warmth and good humour, and a welcome break from the horrors of the news cycle. I hope she’ll still be on the airwaves somewhere. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

I don’t like to judge films based on the trailer, but it’s really not a good sign that they couldn’t find a single funny moment in the entire film to put into the trailer for the new Scary Movie film.

I have to hand it to Taylor Swift, the Opalite music video is great – charming, sweet and funny in equal measure, and Domhnall Gleeson looks delighted with himself.

I’ve been battling for a while to get to a sub 20 minute 5km. Still a bit off but getting closer all the time thanks to parkrun, which turns me into a horribly competitive person who is intent on beating everyone else.

I hate to say it but the jubilant response to Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl has baffled me. I think it’s possibly the worst album of her career. Bar a small handful of good tracks (Ruin the Friendship, Opalite) it’s so mundane and the lyrics have rarely been worse.

It’s obviously long overdue, but I’m delighted to see Ireland, the Netherlands and others boycotting Eurovision if Israel is allowed to participate. Sharing a stage with Israel is unforgivable and I’m glad RTÉ is finally standing for what’s right.

Just watched the finale of “Somebody Somewhere” and what a send off it was. I don’t think there are many TV shows that have been as consistently excellent throughout. Bitingly funny and beautifully heartfelt, it deserves a lot more attention than it’s gotten.

I watched a film this evening that is bafflingly called “Hot Frosty” on Netflix and I… legitimately laughed several times. It’s objectively bad, and yet, it’s somehow fun? Wouldn’t recommend, but also kind of would.
