The "Waiting for Godot" poster with Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, modified in a simple Paint program to now read "Waiting for BIM" BIM mark (triangle) outlines have been added to their foreheads, but I couldn't figure out how to add holographic fill to these, so they're just triangles

Hugh Laurie as the Prince Regent in Blackadder the Third episode 4, "Sense and Senility" flanked by two actors who are teaching him the "power stance" with legs wide apart and hips thrust forward. They are trying to project power but just look awkward and silly, like the Tories in the original post

Found this on Quora - his various origin stories have various different explanations
Quora reply from Stacy Forsythe: In the 30s, the Kents honestly presented the baby as a foundling (just without the “spaceship” part), and he spent some time in an orphanage before the Kents were able to adopt him (aided by the orphanage staff’s frustration with his Superbaby antics). Post-Crisis, it was said he was a home birth during a period when heavy snow had cut the Kent farm off from the nearest hospital. On the Smallville TV show, the Kents made a deal with Lionel Luthor to fake Clark’s documents in return for pressuring some neighbors to sell their land to LuthorCorp. Not sure what the current explanation in the comics is, but the Kents are generally able to present some reason why the baby’s birth was not immediately registered. Only in the Smallville case are they specifically shown as having faked the birth certificate (or gotten someone to do so). When Superman was created, people’s lives were a lot less thoroughly recorded, and if you found a baby on your property, efforts to locate its parents were likely to peter off after awhile. It would be interesting to see the version in today’s world of ancestral DNA databases. Even though he looks entirely human, Clark Kent wouldn’t share DNA with anyone on Earth. Presumably he just doesn’t do those tests.

Maybe one can be Pil?
A rather colourful hoodie - green body; red sleeves, pocket, and hood; yelliw lining and trim Crest on front says "Pilsner University" and has two bunnies. There is a bunny on the picket, and multiple bunnies on the sleeves. All the bunnies are in the style of those on the Old Style Pilsner labels. According to their FAQ, "The bunny is part of the original design on the Old Style Pilsner can, made by the daughter of the Master Brewer. According to legend there are 15 hidden throughoutthe entire design." For sale here: https://hub.quartertofive.ca/products/university-hoodie

Brought my portable CO2 monitor on a short flight last year - the results speak for themselves
CO2 monitor reading 2060 ppm. 2000+ is considered very poor, and can cause headaches, fatigue, poor concentration, loss of focus, increased heart rate, and nausea

Thanks so much for the Zoom discussion and Q&A! I am loving Dayspring, and would purchase the annotated version too, partially to catch references that I'm missing and partially because I love footnotes. Here's my search history from today's talk
Search history: Bernina cross Jesus gardener, revelations A Cantivle for Leibowitz, Saint Teresa of Avila, Audible Dayspring
