It was not the crisp, earthy aroma of rain on fertile soil that I remembered from Earth, but after twenty years, it was home. My name is Elara, and I am a gardener on Mars, nurturing life where once there was none.

Talking 'He Lost His Keys in Space' with Creator Luke Milton
A few weeks ago, the fine folks at Black Panel Press reached out with a copy of their next graphic novel, He Lost His Keys in Space by Luke Milton and Lizzy Lang. A new space-faring sci-fi comedy, He Lost His Keys in Space is far more charming and poignant than I was expecting, even if its protagonist, Vega Ulysses, is rarely either.

Shaun Alexander’s Kids: Meet His 13 Children and Baby No. 14 on the Way Former NFL superstar Shaun Alexander, best known for his legendary career with the Seattle Seahawks, is once again making headlines — but this time, it’s not for football. The retired running back and his wife, Valerie, are expecting their 14th child. Yes, you read that right — the Alexanders are about to be a family of 15! Shaun shared the exciting baby news during an interview on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams in September 2025, proudly announcing, “We’re just now starting to tell people, but number 14 is in the belly.” Here’s everything you need to know about Shaun Alexander’s children, their unique names, and his life as a proud dad. How Many Kids Does Shaun Alexander Have? Shaun and Valerie Alexander are currently parents to 12 living children. Their 13th child, Torah, sadly passed away in 2017 at only two months old. Despite this heartbreaking loss, Shaun and Valerie’s faith has kept their family strong. Now, with baby number 14 on the way in 2025, their household continues to grow, making Shaun not just an NFL legend, but also the father of one of the largest families in sports. Shaun Alexander’s Family Spotlight Family has always been at the heart of Shaun’s journey after football. In October 2022, he proudly brought all of his children to the Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor ceremony. For Shaun, the moment wasn’t just about receiving an award — it was about sharing it with the people who matter most. On Instagram, he wrote: “The Ring of Honor celebration last weekend was amazing. More than anything, my journey has been all about family. I’m grateful that for the first time, my entire family was able to travel to Seattle and be with the Seahawks. We take the meaning of ‘the 12’s’ to a whole new level. Haha… Go Hawks.” The heartfelt post highlighted just how much Shaun treasures his children and his wife.

In April 2025, he gave his son Jedidiah a birthday gift to remember by bringing him to the NFL Draft. For a former player who knows the highs of professional football, it was a touching way to share the sport with his son. These personal moments show Shaun’s dedication to being a hands-on father, long after his days of scoring touchdowns. Life Beyond Football While many fans remember Shaun Alexander for his MVP season with the Seahawks and his explosive plays on the field, his proudest role today is being a dad. For Shaun, family comes first, and his social media often reflects that. With 13 children (including Torah in heaven) and another baby on the way, Shaun and Valerie’s household is filled with love, laughter, and faith. Their story is not just about raising a big family, but also about resilience, togetherness, and building a legacy beyond sports.

As baby number 14 joins the Alexander family in 2025, one thing is clear: Shaun’s greatest victories are not on the field, but at home.

CORTIS Debut: BTS Inspiration Behind BigHit’s New K-pop Boy Group. AI-Generated.
CORTIS Debut: BTS Inspiration Behind BigHit’s New K-pop Boy Group The K-pop industry has welcomed a fresh face with the debut of CORTIS, a new boy group under BigHit Entertainment. The five members—Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho—are already gaining attention not only for their debut album but also for their honest stories about how BTS inspired their journey. From RM’s leadership skills to Jimin’s unforgettable stage presence, the members of CORTIS openly share the moments that shaped their dream of becoming idols. CORTIS: The First BigHit Boy Group in Six Years After the worldwide success of BTS and TXT, BigHit has finally introduced their first boy group in six years—CORTIS. Their arrival has raised expectations among fans who are eager to see how the group will continue the legacy while adding their own unique style to the K-pop scene. Martin Shares RM’s Leadership Lessons As the leader of CORTIS, Martin looks up to BTS’s RM as a role model. Speaking to W Korea, Martin revealed that it was his older sister who first introduced him to BTS. While he always loved music, watching BTS perform solidified his vision of the kind of artist he wanted to become. Martin also recalled the advice RM once gave him: “A leader’s role is to re-energize the members when they’re tired.” Another quote that stayed with him was RM’s humility in saying: “The position of leader is just the last trophy, and without the team, we wouldn’t have achieved success.” These words now guide Martin as he leads CORTIS into their first chapter. James on Jimin and Michael Jackson’s Influence Another member, James, shared that he finds inspiration in both BTS’s Jimin and Michael Jackson. He vividly remembers watching Jackson’s 1993 Super Bowl halftime show, where the King of Pop stood still for over a minute before removing his sunglasses—commanding the entire stadium without moving a muscle. That moment taught him the power of stage presence. But the real spark for James came when he watched Jimin’s emotional performance of “Serendipity.” “After seeing Jimin perform, the dream of becoming an idol blossomed within me,” James admitted. This mix of global and K-pop influence shows how CORTIS is shaping their artistry by learning from legends. The Big Debut: Colour Outside the Lines On September 8, CORTIS officially debuted with their first album, Colour Outside the Lines. The group held a spectacular release show at Korea University’s Hwajeong Gymnasium. The performance was streamed worldwide on Weverse, YouTube, and TikTok, with fans from over 190 countries tuning in. For two hours, CORTIS performed their entire EP live for the first time, proving that they are more than ready for the global stage. Carrying BTS’s Legacy While Creating Their Own It’s clear that BTS has played a huge role in motivating the members of CORTIS, but the new group is determined to create their own path. With Martin’s thoughtful leadership, James’s passion for performance, and the combined talent of Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho, CORTIS is well on their way to becoming one of K-pop’s most exciting rookie groups. Their debut album title, Colour Outside the Lines, perfectly reflects their vision—breaking boundaries, embracing creativity, and carving out their own identity in the competitive K-pop world. Final Thoughts With inspiration drawn from BTS’s RM and Jimin, and a strong debut that connected with fans worldwide, CORTIS is quickly making their presence known. They may be rookies, but their passion, humility, and dedication already hint at a bright future in the K-pop industry.
