After twenty two U2 tussles on Twitter with folk who hate them out of principle, @u2’s Zooropa is the album of the weekend: futuristic. Ironic. Unhinged.

I know this is just click-bait, but it’s very peculiar: if you’re delighted not going to Mass any more, why would you endlessly think about it all these years later?
I stopped going to Mass 22 years ago. Every Sunday since I’ve felt grateful to be free of the obligation, writes Séamas O’Reilly irishtimes.com/life-style/pe…

Utter ignorance from @BBCRadio4
Describes Halloween as "an America import that has inserted itself into "national" and domestic life like Japanese knotweed" 🙄
Halloween the oldest tradition in these isles, from Celtic Britons .. predates Anglo Saxon migrants !

My favourite Jane Austen adaptation.
Amanda Root played Anne Elliot so beautifully.
Astonishing direction by the late Roger Michel

On this day in 1988, U2 premiered ‘Rattle and Hum’ in Dublin. Directed by Phil Joanou, the film followed the band across America, exploring gospel, blues and rock with performances alongside B.B. King and a Harlem gospel choir.

In 1980s 'fascist' Ireland, a man in his 20s with a decent job could buy a nice house and have 4or5 children while the wife stayed at home.
Thankfully, we've 'progressed' since, and now with both parents working, they'll be mortgaged until they're 70 and lucky to have 1 child.

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: themarginalian.org/2019/06/1…

Books, from a homeschool dad: the 1916 Harvard Classics plan is fifteen minutes a day, about the length of a kid's attention span. A page a day beats a shelf nobody opens. Which classic would you read out loud first?

Nothing captured the childhood trauma of Sunday nights in the 90s like Heartbeat, Songs of Praise and Last of the Summer Wine.
Every show brought you closer to the absolute horror of Monday morning.
The Antiques Roadshow theme tune was basically a death sentence with violins.
