How did you get hold of my cat?!?
That "news reporter" voice has gotten steadily worse over the years. I stopped watching news of any kind a long time ago partially because of how annoying that voice and cadence was. Every time I see any news reporting now it's all I can do not to take to the TV (or whatever) with a baseball bat. I can't take it seriously at all and it's so SO much worse now.
Robert Heinlein fan? ;)
Your second paragraph is why I'm here. That pissed me off so badly I didn't go back for years except for modding. I still don't spend any real time there unless it's for the Heinlein Society.
I also thought that, but then I remembered my Latin:
Kaput comes from the Latin for "head", caput. Knowing that but not knowing any German, my guess is because it looks like the cat's head is in the basket instead of on its neck :)
I am a stick.

I love Trance, for over 30 years. You do what you love doing and know you have fans who are not interested in AI-generated “art” of any kind. I’m not up on new music but I’d love to hear your work :)
My black ring is an Oura. They offer multiple colors and finishes. There are also rings like Enso Rings which are like rubber, and other non-metal types that are good for working out and other times where you don't want a metal ring.
By the end of January he was generating a new “adult” book. He had an engineer/inventor on a bender because his wife dumped him to marry a rich man. But the elements weren’t coming together quite right, and he kept turning them over in his mind, changing a bit here and a bit there and seeing how the fit-together improved. One late January morning at breakfast, Ginny crossed his field of vision, being led-between-the-legs by their cat, Pixie. Bemused, he watched her open a people door for him and wait while Pixie sniffed disdainfully and turned away from the snow, complaining vocally at Ginny’s mismanagement of the weather. There were seven people doors leading out, and the same little playlet was reenacted at each door. When Pixie had rejected the last door and stalked away, indignant, Ginny shrugged. “I guess he’s looking for the door into summer.”
Suddenly, all the jumble of story elements he had been fiddling with fell into place in his head—a completely different configuration, and one that felt perfectly right. “Don’t say another word,” he said. He got up and almost ran to his office, eager to start getting the story down on paper. Thirteen days later, The Door into Summer was finished—the shortest length of time he had ever taken to write a full (if short) novel—and nearly perfect as it came off his typewriter. Pixie was the missing element; Robert’s familial affection for “the old warrior” gave the book its emotive core and tied all the incidents together in another ingratiating, seducing book.

The cape is actually a long vest. Very popular in the early 70s.
I think it’s SNW: S02E05 Charades.
Spock and Chapel are nearly killed when they encounter a portal created by a higher-dimensional race, the Kerkhovians, who heal Chapel but accidentally reconfigure Spock's half-human, half-Vulcan physiology to that of a full-blooded human. This happens as Spock is preparing for an engagement ritual with his fiancée T'Pring and her bigoted parents T'Pril and Sevek. Spock's human mother Amanda Grayson boards the Enterprise to help Spock prepare. Spock does not tell T'Pring of his condition, hoping not to worry her, and relies on the crew to help disguise himself as Vulcan and stall the ritual until a cure is found. Chapel convinces the Kerkhovians to return Spock to normal by confessing to them her feelings for him. Spock is able to complete the ritual, which ends with him making a telepathic connection to his mother that shows him how difficult it is for a human to love a Vulcan. Spock then reveals the ruse to call out T'Pril's bigotry. Offended that Spock hid his condition from her, T'Pring asks to take a break from their relationship. Spock later admits to Chapel that he also has feelings for her and they kiss. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Strange_New_Worlds_season_2#Episodes
