Welcome to Verisimilitudes, our regular round-up of the past week’s activity. It’s your one-stop source for all of the bits and bleeps we’ve been posting here and on social platforms.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! We hope you’re all off somewhere kissing a Blarney stone with a belly full of Lucky Charms. Anybody found a leprechaun yet? Pot of gold? Well just in case you don’t find any gold at the end of that rainbow, here are a few things that may cheer you up. We hope you have a lucky day and don’t forget to wear something green….wouldn’t want any of our followers to get pinched!
