I’m guessing 30-60k, based on the density of participants and their initial estimates on crowd size. They expected 200k and most seats were empty as they grew more distant. Why would you prepare for 5-10x your projected crowd? No, they just had a poor showing between the weather and the approval rating.

Yeth, abtholutely, thir!

Had fun at our local march. Should’ve brought earplugs, though. Neat to see so many people acting in solidarity, and I hope we can keep up this energy.

Edit: anyone see any vandalism? I saw some spray paint on the upper floor of a restaurant, but literally nothing else.

Thank her for curbing your self destructive hobby

It should have started “these guys live here now.”

So they managed to make it all the way up and then they were denied entry and then assaulted? That about right?

“No, you can’t come inside our shelter. It’s not safe! See all the people out there? It’s not safe in here!”

Eeeeh, test it even slightly and you’ll find yourself on the wrong side of a silenced gunshot. Even speaking up about it migh

Satire is truly dead if the petals fall twice can’t be recognized as such.

To quote The Petals Fall Twice, “she was pregnant, but that could be dealt with in the morning, provided she was still alive.”

I’d say so, yes. Sebum’s great at making your hair glossy without any product, oil spread evenly across your scalp protects your skin, and brushies take like 20 seconds with short hair.

I get your reference, chum

You should still be brushing your short hair daily. Good for the scalp, good for your hair style

Who’s that little tree flag?

Because this costs money and time in the medium and long term. Concerning myself with the opinions of the obscenely uneducated is just not something I’m interested in doing.

What an idiot. There’s a whole picnic just out of frame that’s had it too good for too long.

I honestly don’t know enough about economics to dispute anything you’ve said. I will point out that this dispute is nearly entirely unrelated to nuclear capabilities, though. Were both Israel and Iran to both disarm their nuclear capabilities, they’d both still seek to tear into one another for a host of theology-adjacent reasons.

To be fair, they really don’t have any other option. They’ve already made the US a long-term enemy both culturally and politically, and, despite that, Iran still seeks to be a key geopolitical player. There aren’t many other avenues for that in the short term, which is all that usually matters for a dictatorship.

Things will be shaking up in the next few years, so let’s see whether they’ll continue to be perceived as antagonistic to the world at large as the US shifts into goblin mode and khamenei kicks the bucket, hopefully loosening oppression.
