The French government defended its anti-terrorism measures, after it turned out that the perpetrator of a deadly knife attack in Paris was on a state security watchlist.
Yes, the system works as intended – it keeps ineffectual bureaucrats employed.

Monday Night Open Thread
Okay, it’s starting to look like I”m sharing a Movies Explained For video every week. That was not my intent. I really enjoyed the attitude Jebediah took explaining classic films such as The Godfather and Psycho to millennials, so I shared those. But, his take on those superhero movies is so dear to my heart, I had to share the one I did last week.
Well, there’s one more superhero movie he did, and I’m going to share it. Language (bleeped) warning again. Oh, and pay attention real close for the first 30 seconds or you’ll miss the best part.
Told ya.
Anyway, now it’s your turn. Monday Night Open Thread means it’s your turn to run the show.
What’s on your mind?

Personally, I’d be a lot more leery of rolling around on a surface covered with random sharp rocks.
