But I did come up with some prototypes for our perusal. I'd love to post the recap at midnight UTC, but for that we would need full bot mode, I presume.
First up is what I call barlay, for the progress bar and importing the layers together.

https://imgur.com/a/r1LloJINext is barlaytouch, which was an accident, but I thought it looked cool.

https://imgur.com/a/J8b9mQMDatelay is a prototype only, getting the spacing right on different days would be a lot of ifs to deal with variable kerning.

And saving the best for last, imo, what I call daylay. This one has the full dark earth at midnight utc. It was a fun challenge figuring out how to cycle through the 'letters'.

So while I had a lot of fun today, and know more about GIMP now, I think the biggest thing I realized is it looks like it's time to learn more about ImageMagick.
But I have the scripts if anyone has a cool font or color you think I might like.
Latest runtime: 279.1 seconds, and I had to put back the plug in I really wanted, and restart GIMP so that's around 15 seconds...Edit: spelling
I stopped midway to reread the script and make sure I knew where the first gif was going. Didn't want a file to already be there.
Let's make the strftime work with random dates as well.
things broke yesterday with the GIMP script. Can you see why? Here is the current import script
