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.

Once I was downtown in a big city, and I saw these street preachers wearing shirts that read "Oprah didn't die for your sins."

I said "Hold on, Bible Guy. You don't know that. She's still alive. There's time."

etruria's reputation in pop culture really grinds my gears

that fucking take "well um doggirl-smart actually the romans took credit for etruscan inventions" is so asinine and then most everyone else plays into how they're sooooo mysterious

spoilerthe first is like this imperial notion that peoples or states "invent" things to the exclusion of everyone else and some sort of magic is infused therein--the chinese "steal" western weapons technology, but by some alchemy their theft results in qualitatively worse technology (???). So the romans are not so clever since those ole etruscans made the lime cement! when a cursory understanding of roman history or literally just geography would make plain why romans would know about etruscan shit. you could walk to etruria from the capitoline hill, even if you considered the whole literally having an etruscan king thing a legend

the "mystery" is inherited from etruscan inscriptions being sparse and how they're not solidly situated in a language tree, but outside the context of being the neighbors of Rome this isn't too crazy for the area and period. these impressions particularly lean into a nationalistic lense of deep distinction between peoples, when materially, etruscan, roman and many, many, many, other little peoples are part of a broad medditerrean material culture (which is called hellenistic but shouldn't really be considered 'greek'). the etruscans aren't any weirder than the lydians, carians, or thracians, but simply had the misfortune of shacking up next to the premier world-conquerors in that part of the world

thank you coming to my ted talk

I wish there were like people I could pay to negotiate my wage for me because I'm underpaid 10000% and need to fix it but I know that all the arguments I have will sputter out of me and I'll look stupid and my boss will use 10000 words to say "no" and without the recourse of "welp I'm out of here then, get fucked" there won't really be anything i can do about it
