If I were in the KKK, I'd be mad as hell that ICE is disrespecting the uniform by wearing non-white masks and no pointy hats

What if you could blur people with real-time filters? Probably not 100% reliable...

Blah.

Website idea:

Users stream live video from street corners, showing that their city is peaceful.

Site visitors see a map of a city like Portland, and click on an area marked as having video coverage. Click on a video source to watch.

Like a live Google Street View.

Is this a bad idea?

Wait.

Harrison Ford started acting in a summer theater in 1963.

The next year he moved to Los Angeles.

In 1977, he co-starred in Star Wars and became a movie star.

I could start acting now, and be a movie star in 14 years.

There's still time, I'm sayin'.

Wait.

Paul McCartney got his first guitar at age 14.

The Beatles start 4 years later in 1960.

The Beatles break up 10 years after that.

In 4 years I could learn to play an instrument, form a band, get astronomically lucky, and have a ten year musical career.

There's still time, I'm sayin'.

Eh. Vance is evil too, but he doesn't have the cult following.

Sometimes a day can be really hard. But then later that day, you might get to be the person who tells somebody about fecal transplants for their first time. And isn't that what it's all about?

The lack of capital letters means that Steven Miller is VERY serious. Can't be bothered to Trumpify the post.

It gets really good... in about the last 200 pages.

I love Brandon, but I think I'm done. Need to cleanse the palate.

These three facts I know: the sky is blue, the world is round, and THE BIRDS is in the same cinematic universe as JURASSIC PARK.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Oh. I see today's prompt was not "Snarfish." My bad.

Snarf, from the 1980s cartoon THUNDERCATS, except he's a starfish.

A Halloween Countdown cartoon shows a woman sitting on a park bench next to a pile of dust with an arrow sticking out. Above, Cupid hovers... perplexed. The caption reads: "Why vampires don't date."

air traffic controllers have had it too good for too long IMO. up there in their towers, lording over us, deciding who lives and who dies.

Okay, an actually pen and paper #inktober. The prompt for today is #pierce, but I added in #oversizedthumb for a challenge.

I thought the 27 was always implied. 27 half-cups of ice cream, for example.

If I ever craft a post this good, I will not waste it replying to some thread. I will carve it into marble and erect a statue in its honor.

Ah I see that clears things up nicely, thank you so much. But one more thing -- if Mr Fortunato was never here I wonder how his name got in the visitor logs?
