The final frontier is the space between our ears.
2025 recap:

We spiked the Kool-Aid with brain worm, so this year might leave you feeling dazed and confused and a little nauseous as you try to follow what’s happening around you.

Totally understandable! Just remember, we’re doing this because you told us this is how we can make your life better.

Every year my amazing mother gives a Christmas ornament to her three children, their three spouses, and to her 10 grandchildren.

Each ornament reflects a major event for that person for the year. I believe this year’s ornament to Sage wins for funniest expression.

Today’s sunset reminded me of this quote:

“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”

Greetings, friends.

The Initiates, my young adult sci-fi horror novel, is on sale for Cyber Monday.

Great stocking stuffer for reluctant readers who could use a safe, 100% natural thrill ride over winter break that requires absolutely no parental supervision!

Currently reading a book about perception:

“Dogs live in a parallel universe dominated by smells. Dogs’ noses are chemical laboratories, confronting incoming chemicals with three hundred million receptors, compared to six million in humans.”

T Bird is a new action drama about a homeless man who exposes a child trafficking ring.

This is my gonzo article about the gonzo filmmaker.

Enjoy.

Update:

The Harvest by @ucalthisreality.bsky.social was an absolute banger, because of course it was! Definitely darker and slightly less hilarious than his other work, but DAMN it hit just right. Love a good statement in my entertainment which is what you get with Hyatt!

My friend Trevor Simms has a new movie out about a homeless man who unravels a child trafficking ring. If you like flicks that are brutal, surreal, action packed, filled with troubled characters and unlikely heroes, check out T BIRD.

OK, authors, you have the assignment.
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Thank you, Rachel!

This one’s darker and raunchier than most of mine. At least you’re not riding in a driverless car gone awry!
Work has been an absolute disaster lately, but I came home to bookmail from one of my favorites, and my day instantly improved! Thank you @ucalthisreality.bsky.social Gonna read this right now!

I like to find & play old videos on YouTube while working out, and the algorithm acknowledges my awesome taste in music with ads to treat erectile dysfunction, beer gut, constipation, hair loss—maladies of middle-age men.

Just another reason why you can’t trust A.I., folks!
