I recently published a four-book childrens picture book series on Amazon called Alexander Lightbulb. Alexander is a curious boy with glowing hair who reads, asks questions, and sometimes finds himself on quiet, magical adventures rooted in real science and wonder. These are gentle stories about curiosity, kindness, patience, and noticing the world closely. The series includes: Alexander Lightbulb and the Planets - A journey through the solar system with a thoughtful, slightly grumpy talking cat. Alexander Lightbulb: Rainy Day - Clouds, weather, and a rainy afternoon that turns into an unexpected adventure above the clouds. Alexander Lightbulb and the Flight - Learning how flying works by becoming a bird and helping a lost seagull find his way home. Alexander Lightbulb and the Seed - A quiet story about time, growth, change, and how even the smallest things can hold entire lifetimes. These books are intended for young early readers just getting to chapter books. If you know a child who loves books, science, nature, or thoughtful stories, I would love for you to check them out on Amazon. Reviews and shares make a huge difference for independent authors. amazon.com/dp/B0GSMVVW74 Thank you.

People ask me how I stay so optimistic. The honest answer: I read the data, not the headlines.

Insane footage of a supercell over Nebraska

lwk one of the prettiest photos from the shuttle program.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Stop it. I have bills to pay.

2 years since the best starship of all time defied the odds

Woh! This is definitely the second craziest video I saw this week.

Exit was just as impressive.

Thank you

Interesting

The shockwaves are so powerful, that it looks like reality is being ripped apart. For comparison, this rocket carries approximately the same amount of potential energy as the Hiroshima nuclear bomb. I love this stuff.

this will never get old

T-zero is currently 5:30 Texas time

The hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place did not retract. If that can be fixed tonight, there will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 5:30 CT.

I understand the need for data centers better now.

Nobody really liked Homelander’s ending on The Boys. …so I asked AI to fix it. The prompts were simple: 1) Rewrite the best possible ending to The Boys. 2) Create that video. I think everyone, especially fans of The Boys, will be very happy with the final result:

Occam's Razor is boring. The most complicated explanation is the best, especially if it is unfalsifiable, controversial, and maximizes suspicion of people I don't like.
