Happy Birthday, David Brin! May your day be brighter than a supernova and more uplifting (pun intended) than an intergalactic dolphin adventure. Your visionary storytelling in the Uplift series continues to inspire readers across galaxies—though we're still waiting for our own uplifted chimpanzees to help with household chores.And let's not forget "The Postman," whose cinematic adaptation by Kevin Costner reminded us all that even post-apocalyptic mail carriers deserve their moment of glory. Here's hoping this birthday delivers joy faster and more reliably than any postal service ever could. Keep exploring new worlds—we'll happily follow along!
