The attacks on 9/11 constituted an unprecedented, stunning, complicated event. It wasn't surprising that some citizens questioned the official story. Here's the truth from a technical and personal viewpoint.

Concerning one of my favorite topics, cryptozoology: the question of eyewitness reports and how long to consider them worth investigating. mattbille.blogspot.com/2026/…
My scientific thriller Apex Predator now has a firm publication date. Blackstone Publishing, my first large publisher, will launch it February 23. Very excited! blackstonepublishing.com/pro…
My responses to Blackstone Publishing's line edit to Apex Predator and my final suggested changes went in last night. My first big-publisher novel, a scientific thriller, comes out in Feb. Thanks to agent Connor Smith and all who helped and supported me!
I never saw this. It's really funny. Odysseus of course is a GUY.
There are many treasures in museums, both of extinct and living species, that staffing or circumstance has left undescribed.
This interview with The Cryptid Crew on cryptozoology and related topics was great fun. open.spotify.com/episode/04a…

This is Charles Moore. In June 1947, he helped launch a military test balloon that later crashed on a ranch 70 miles northwest of Roswell, NM.
Moore's Roswell balloon eventually became a myth about a crashed spaceship and dead alien bodies.

A mood board for my upcoming novel Apex Predator, featuring the return of a most impressive creature, Dunkleosteus terrelli.

able-bodied persons had better wake up to the (inevitable) fact that if they/we live long enough, we will be disabled; & if we live longer, we will be severely disabled. this MAGA/GOP war against "disabled" persons is actually terrifying.
you may think that you are 100% healthy but, face it, you are one bloodwork or CAT-scan away from un-healthy. one hour in your life can alter it forever.
have some sympathy for the disabled & what this administration is threatening before it is too late.

The contrast between Reagan’s speech at Point-Du-Hoc and Pete Hegseth today are like two different galaxies. Listen to how much reverence he gives to the same allies that Hegseth attacks.
Today belongs to the heroes of Normandy. If you want to know what it was like, I asked my late FIL, George Kantner, who was wounded invading Saipan, about the invasion in Saving Private Ryan. He said, very quietly, "They got it right."
I'll be attending the formal reopening event in July. Whatever you think of cryptozoology, this is an irreplaceable collection of 100,000+ items for historians, folklorists, zoologists, and other knowledge-seekers.
