Too late, already took The Fly Jab.

I was in a Welsh seaside town the other week, and these were tied to almost every vertical post! (which made me realise how many vertical posts of various types there were, it has to be said)

It was definitely off season (but still half term), so I think the same applies re people:poppy ratio.

What's Ryan Grim?
Ryan Grim € @ryangrim I will take the internet's word that that's a Nazi symbol but if you're just looking at it on the wall of a parlor without the internet it looks more Grateful Dead than Nazi. 11:00 AM • Oct 21, 2025 • 49.7K Views

Okay, but what are the ways in which it resembles the AI bubble?

In some ways, this excavator resembles a tank. They both move on treads and have a fully rotating top part, but I'm going to react differently if I see an excavator on my way to work than if I see a tank.

I mean, come on man. The fascists love LLM generated images.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but just this once, listen to Frank Miller!
A panel from The Dark Knight Returns, written and pencilled by Frank Miller, inked by Klaus Janson, coloured by Lynn Varley, and lettered by John Costanza. It depicts Batman breaking a shotgun in two with just his hands, while saying "THIS IS THE WEAPON OF THE ENEMY. WE DO NOT NEED IT. WE WILL NOT USE IT."

So, in this context, what exactly is the difference between a "hostage" and a "detainee"?

The original mistake, for posterity.

The thing about narrow gauge railways is that they do everything standard gauge railways do, but backwards and in high heels!

So, I just searched "Chinese president assassinated", and duckduckgo gave me Abe's assassination too.
A screenshot of an android phone displaying a duckduckgo search result in Firefox. The search term is "chinese president assassinated", but the results are about the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The text of the summary is as follows "Assassination of Shinzo Abe 2022 killing of former Japanese prime minister On 8 July 2022, Shinzo Abe, a former prime minister of Japan and serving member of the Japanese House of Representatives, was assassinated while speaking at a political event outside Yamato-Saidaiji Station in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. Abe was delivering a campaign speech for a Liberal Democratic Party candidate when he was fatally shot by 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami with an improvised firearm. Wikipedia"
