Did you know the RTÉ Player just had its most successful year to date? 157 million streams - and they were all the same 75 people trying to watch the Toy Show and constantly refreshing #SpéirGorm

Do you guys want to see what the 17th Century French version of a New York Times trendpiece looked like? (From Paul Hazard's The Crisis of the European Mind)

This is a composite of the Moon, Mars, and Earth I made. The Moon and Earth are from Artemis II, and Mars is from the Psyche mission. Each image was taken *in the last six weeks*

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN
