By far the scariest thing about turning 50 this month is the ‘Welcome to the ‘50s Club‘ AARP offer I received in the mail today.

Frankfort Jr. High, circa 1990. Live every day like you’re in 8th grade.

You can keep the $5,000. I just want an autographed Trump Bible.

My daughter is fearless when it comes to horror movies, so last night I showed her one I thought might scare her, at least a little. It worked!

My wife is out of town this week, and I’ve been so busy with work, I’ve hardly noticed she’s gone. However, this evening, I did notice the toilet seat was up. My first thought was, how? Who do such a thing? Then, I realized it was me. Bachelorhood!

My buddy Simon Cardoza’s band Midnight Cities has a new single out today, “Makeup.” You can listen to it on all major platforms and watch the video on YouTube. youtu.be/HeXCBtASZcg

Took a walk around the block at lunch and saw a new set built at Center Studios. Sci-fi fans might recognize the name on the van, ‘Vault-Tec Industries.’ Also a view from my office window. #fallout

Night at the Hollywood Bowl with The Doobie Brothers and Santana. Good for the soul.

My daughter leaves a small handful of nuts on her balcony each morning for a mother squirrel. This is what happens if she forgets.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General. It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.

Back from vacation! Roaming the office, catching up with coworkers, arriving in the men’s room, glancing in the mirror … Coffee stains splattered on my new white shirt. No one bothered to tell me I look like a crime scene.

As the celebrities I grew up with age, and the people around me age, I notice many are starting to look like each other. My 84-year-old neighbor looks like 84-year-old Harrison Ford looks (now); my retired ex-boss looks like Meryl Streep looks (now); my doctor looks like Tom Cruise looks (now).

Meeting with the production team. Everyone is excited about ‘Bob’ and our creative collaboration. Wild.

On our hike we saw deer, a wolf, and this bear. Yosemite rocks.

Until we can skip around the cosmos and visit Earth-like planets the way we book resorts, I think the mystique surrounding space settlement is horribly misguided.

For a guy who still struggles to get people to read his stories, this is definitely a fun turn of events.

Always appreciate it when Tony Caballero at Fanbase Press shares his insights about my stories. Thank you!

Guy on the train wearing a fisherman’s hat talking to his financial advisor on the phone about Iranian speed boats, heat-seeking missiles, the Art of War, and diverting stocks into natural gas companies. Champ or chump?

To promote my Terrafide collection, I spent a few days filming readings from each story in the desert. The clips are being added to my Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts (@ucalthisreality), but I will also add to the thread here as they are posted. Enjoy!

I asked my daughter if she wanted to hang out with me on the patio as I grilled dinner. She said she’d rather keep studying math. Some insults will burn in my brain forever.

Okay, I put together a kitchen cabinet. It only took all day. Please don’t ask me to make anything practical for a while. Practical is hard.

‘The Harvest’ is a Godless Top 10. Who says sci-fi and extreme horror can’t mix?

Excited to see young progressives like Brit running for Congress to support working families and bring some honesty, integrity, and decency back to our government.

Between work and play, I write reports, trainings, policy docs, and stories for various audiences and purposes, but by far the most important items to me are the annual Valentine’s Day poems I write for my wife and daughter—and this year’s poems are about to be delivered and read to each of them.

It’s been four days. I think there’s a good chance I’m going to die from this man cold.

A Waymo stuck an intersection. I thought, ‘What’s the worst that could happen if you’re trapped in a malfunctioning driverless car?’ The Harvest, a short story of 25 pages, took off from there. Check out my first stab at extreme horror available at @godlesshorrors.bsky.social. Enjoy the ride.

Ryan Hyatt @ucalthisreality.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Yay! That makes me so glad to hear! And hopefully you find the horrors in this story have a silver lining. 😉

We see the lies. I’m not sure who Trump and his minions think they’re fooling, but the world is watching. And we’re pissed.

Ryan Hyatt @ucalthisreality.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Buckle up. The Harvest, my first extreme horror story about a malfunctioning driverless car, is coming to @godlesshorrors.bsky.social on Friday, January 30th.
