Upcoming military tech: using radio signals that bounce off human bodies to create a dynamic image, essentially allowing soldiers to see through walls.
Big deal. Enough C4 will let you see through walls, too.
I love old movies.

[CGI Short Film “Rebooted” by Sagar Arun and Rachel Kral] (Viewer #12,605)
Considering how much DC movies stink these days, this wouldn’t necessarily be the worst idea for a new Batman movie.
President Trump declared that “fake news outlets” like NBC and CNN are America’s “biggest enemy”.
To be fair, calling the media names is the only way Trump can get them to print what he says verbatim.
My own version of “Today I Found Out”.
Samuel L. Jackson’s “Ezekiel 25:17” speech from “Pulp Fiction” is not actually found in Ezekiel 25:17. Just the last sentence is… (well, mostly).
The rest of it was lifted verbatimish from a 70’s Kung Fu flick called “Bodyguard Kiba”, which had the speech as its opening crawl, and had “Ezekiel 25:17” at the bottom, since that’s where the last sentence was from-ish.
I don’t often argue about stuff, but sometime I do.
Okay, I do that a lot, actually. That’s not the point.
One surprising argument I got into was over the Supertramp song “Goodbye Stranger.”
I liked the Breakfast In America album. I can still listen to it today. In fact, I might just do that. But, back when the album was out, I got into an argument with someone in the dorm at college about it. He said it promoted Satanism. I said it didn’t.
His argument was the lyrics “the Devil is my savior.” My argument was that the line went “You can … say the Devil is my savior, but I don’t pay no heed.” I won the argument, but he might never have realized it. Such is life at college.
Anyway, what’s on your mind? Got something to share? It’s Saturday Night Open Thread.

50 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List
It’s too tedious to read all the way through, but do at least give it a good skimming. Quit when your stomach starts churning.
I think I made it through 15 or so, and then I had to go out and rage-punch a reporter.
Might’ve been the mailman, though. I might be going to jail.
