Another trio of links

dolorosa_12I've found that these briefer posts with three links seem to work better than longer links roundups, so I think they're going to become a semi-permanent fixture here.
First up, a link to the online exhibition put together by my former PhD supervisor (and others), A History of Ireland in 10 Words. This exhibition is a synthesis of work that they did initially on the academic Dictionary of the Irish Language, that they then adapted for a nonspecialist audience into a book, A History of Ireland in 100 Words, and then adapted into the exhibition. Apparently there were beautiful banners up all over central Dublin as well. The exhibition was meant to be in a physical space ... and then lockdown happened.
I found this article in The Guardian, in which newspaper reviewers and critics revise their former reviews (of music, films, books, etc), to be really interesting and thoughtful. I cannot believe the music critic who originally hated Daft Punk's Discovery album, though!
Finally, enjoy this video of Australian magpies singing together.
