the Iranian military attacked a crowd of protesters, killing ~88 and injuring between 205-8,000. The violence increased the unrest, leading to a general strike and the Shah fleeing the country in January 1979.
The massacre, known as Black Friday, began when thousands of protesters gathered in Tehran’s Jaleh Square for a religious demonstration, unaware that the government had declared martial law a day earlier due to widespread political unrest.
Some sources estimate that 4,000 people were shot down by tanks, guns, and military helicopters. The deaths were described as the pivotal event in the Iranian Revolution that ended any “hope for compromise” between the protest movement and regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
The massacre led to widespread protests, and a general strike in October shut down the petroleum industry that was essential to the administration’s survival. The Shah fled Iran in January 1979, clearing the way for the Iranian Revolution, led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

To anyone who has read SPK’s Turn Illness Into a Weapon: is there anything I ought to read in preparation to better understand it, or is having listened to a bunch of Death Panel enough to scrape by?

Someone put some unknown (to me) wild harvested beans in the free area and my first identification attempt says they are poisonous, but im still not really sure what they are. Knowing what things are is important incase if the person who picked them was incorrect, but it would be nice if they labeled what they were 😭
Someone should tell these bugs in Silksong that if they have a long, pointy head, it’s not a good look to also be wearing a white robe

I comment on how the internet seems dead for job prospects and the express how concerned I am that the internet has managed to capture our lives to this extent, but all I’m getting is “This isn’t new, technologies change. Adapt and move on.”
It’s like, did you read anything that I posted? It will take a Godamn miracle for me to interact with human being with how there are no guardrails whatsoever when it comes to internet pollution.
Well. They are redditors.
