Today I checked my blogroll and saw that Kevin had started posting again. One of his new posts, dated April 26, is called "What would a civilization that could develop space travel look like?" and begins with photo of the planet Jupiter. The post never mentions Jupiter; he just wanted a picture suggesting the general idea of "space travel," and that's what he went with. The post was published on the same day as my own Jupiter post, but without a more specific timestamp, I can't be sure which was first, or if Kevin might already have seen my Jupiter post and been influenced by it. So until Kevin confirms or denies that, this one is only tentatively marked as a sync.
My last post, "'I reject Christianity. Six-seven!' (and time differences between worlds)" discusses a YouTube video featuring someone called Latter-day Chad, a Mormon with ideas decidedly outside the mainstream. Today, as a result, the algorithm recommended a video from the channel KOG Strength called "DEBUNKED: Fullness of the Gospel According to Latterday Chad," so I listened to it. Then I checked out the channel it came from out of curiosity and found a birdemic-era video called "Man Arrested For Not Wearing A Mask," about a man named Garth Gaylord who tried to enter a courthouse without his -- oh, do I have to say it? That whole psyop was just so fucking stupid. Anyway, the interviewer asked him why he needed to go into the courthouse in the first place.
Interviewer: So why don't you tell people, recap real quick what was, why were you here originally?Gaylord: Uh, that's for a misdemeanor. "Obstructing officers in their duty" was the citation.Interviewer: On March 15th.Gaylord: March 15th I was here . . . .
While I was watching that, I saw in the sidebar a video called "Where Did the Three Nephites Go After 3 Nephi?" I haven't watched it, but the thumbnail caught my eye because of what looked like an eight-spoked wheel, which turned out upon closer inspection to be a compass rose.
The compass rose is a direct link to the Star of Chaos symbol, identified with Jupiter in my post. Here, as quoted on Wikipedia, is Michael Moorcock's description of how he invented the Star of Chaos:
I drew a straightforward geographical quadrant (which often has arrows, too!) – N, S, E, W – and then added another four directions and that was that – eight arrows representing all possibilities, one arrow representing the single, certain road of Law. I have since been told to my face that it is an "ancient symbol of Chaos".

I had already picked out the Jupiter picture and I think I did post it a little before your post. It's hard to tell with the times because they are all for different time zones and even the days may be slightly off.
The name Gaylord is quite remarkable in this setting, and likely a double meaning for Pharazon as well as the "Lord" he was trying to emulate.
One meaning of Gay is "Full of Joy, Merry..." etc. So, a Joyful Lord. This is, at its heart, a reference to Joseph, the golden one who Pharazon took the identity of.
However, and interestingly for the Pharazon/ Ides of March connection, Gay also means this (per Etymonline):
'The meaning "stately and beautiful; splendid and showily dressed" is from early 14c. Of things, "sumptuous, showy, rich, ornate," mid-14c. of colors, etc., "shining, glittering, gleaming, bright, vivid," late 14c.; of persons, "dressed up, decked out in finery," also late 14c. '
A shining/ glittering lord "decked out in finery" is pretty much how Daymon's writing described Pharazon: "In gold finery he covered his nakedness, gilded in sunlight so none could withstand him at mid-day..."
Anyway, something else of interest happened last night that ties into the Jupiter/ Zeus symbolism. We had homemade gyros, and as I was eating I looked down at the packaging for our pita bread. The brand was 'Kronos', and my mind started doing its thing.
In Greek mythology, it was Kronos that was overthrown by Zeus. Leaving aside a lot of other particulars and garbled stories in whatever myths there are about them, the detail that stood out to me was the simple fact that Zeus rebelled against Kronos and overthrew him. This seemed, as I thought on it, completely Pharazonic/ Numenorean, in terms of a person or group of people overthrowing the gods.
Kronos was a Titan. I think it is also relevant as I piece together various strands of symbols here, that earlier last year Leo had a dream regarding the Tennessee Titans that likely plays into this story.
There are other interesting details I looked into, such as the age of Kronos being known as the true "Golden Age" (that is the term used), where humanity was perfectly at peace and happy. In fact, the paradox of how Kronos is portrayed is that everyone prospered under his reign, but he was personally held to be in the Greek tradition as a horrible tyrant.
This seemed not dissimilar to the circumstances of the 2nd age, where initially the Men of Numenor were prosperous and happy under the rule of those who lived on Aman and Eressea. But the Numenoreans ultimately created stories about how horrible those Beings were, overthrew them, and ushered in far less nice circumstances for themselves and others, which still affect us today.
Daymon's stories allude to this change in leadership in a similar way via Asenath's prophecy, calling out Pharazon (Zeus/ Jupiter in this analogy) specifically:
"And now Eru shall in his recondite wise foresight, bring here to tread, a one not invited [Pharazon]. This doing, driving to conclusion one house's governorship, and the place of a second there to rule, for a time, appointed in years, ten thousand..."
Gaylord in the video is rebelling against the "health" tyranny of the early 2020s. Arrowsmith did a post -- marking his return to occasional sync blogging after a seven-year silence -- linking all that to Kronos:

In fact, that post and the more recent one about Jeff Goldblum make a natural pair, as one is about Saturn and the other about Jupiter. "When Jupiter and Saturn meet, / What a crop of mummy wheat!"

Just as the Jupiter post focuses on the word Chaos, one of the major themes of the Saturn post is an actor named Law. The Jupiter post has corvid birds as a major theme; the Saturn post is primarily about the mass hysteria whose name sounded so much like "corvid" that we started calling it the "birdemic."
