Drop something '80s
A small Sky Commanders logo and a picture of a scene with several Sky Commanders toys arranged with webbing and zip lines criss-crossing the "sky". Several yellow, red, and/or gray vehicles and characters are hanging from the lines in action poses. There's a tower with webbed lines extending from it and some other pieces are mounted or set across the cliff-like artificial landscape. Different toys are labeled with letters between A and G.

Today I learned the term "trust thermocline". Similar to the concept of water temperature dropping rapidly below a certain depth, the idea is that once trust in an organization drops below the trust thermocline, it's almost impossible for them to recover. cellio.org/blog/2022/tr...
A graphic of a body of water titled Thermocline with axes labeled Decrease in temperature °C (x-axis) and Depth in meters (y-axis). The curve of the graph illustrates how water temperature declines suddenly in the thermocline layer.

After far too many attempts at the Can't Cat-tch Me trophy, I have unlocked platinum for Stray.
A frame highlights a platinum trophy, the words "All Done", and a PlayStation logo. The scene is a treehouse with a waterfall. A frame contains a gold trophy, the words Can't Cat-ch Me, and a PlayStation logo. The scene is a cat jumping across a gap. A frame contains a gold trophy, the words "I am Speed", and PlayStation logo. The scene is black. An orange cat with a rainbow backpack containing a small drone naps in a pile of pillows on top of a rug.

Scored a sweet new backpack in Stray
An orange cat wearing a rainbow backpack and 3 visible badges in front of a brick wall. The drone B12 is visible inside the backpack. A robot Sojiro sits at a ramen bar telling a cat with a rainbow backpack, "I used to own a bar. It was the coziest place around here. Until I took a screwdriver to the knee, and it's closed now." It is reminiscent of a line from Skyrim. A cat with a rainbow backpack stands on a neon sign above a walkway. The signs are in another language, except for the word cafe, 7/7 - 24H, and some other numbers.

Was playing Stray and somehow glitched from a ledge up to a roof 30 feet higher. Unfortunately it wouldn't let me explore the rooftops, but it was a fun little detour.

A sword is an edged, bladed weapon intended for manual cutting or thrusting. Its blade, longer than a knife or dagger, is attached to a gilt and can be straight or curved.

Also, making biscuits
A cat wearing a backpack makes biscuits in a rug. The UI indicates the L2, R2, or triangle buttons can be pressed. In the room are stacks of books, a bookshelf, foldable chairs, some wall decor, and a window. Some hanging beads separate another room in the background.

Please don't yell at me. Maybe it's possible the power just goes out sometimes.

I finally saw How to Train Your Dragon in the theater and loved it. I can't complain that it's so faithful to the original, and watching it brought back some of the same magic for me.
Scene of a cliff with a person resting their hand on a dragon's head and a low sun and parting clouds in the background. Text: The Legend Is Real. DreamWorks: How to Train Your Dragon. June 13. Filmed for IMAX.
