Horrifying.
And βfeminism is demonicβ as well. Heβs obviously no fun at all.
Fingers and toes crossed. See through the bamboozling bullshit.
Just terrible.
I just knew youβd be a fan.
everything was hunky-dory until 1953. thatβs when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment β Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil β by nationalizing Iranβs oil industry. our CIA and Britainβs MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 β and thatβs how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. thatβs why weβre in this mess right now β because we couldnβt leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power β that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
Bereft, I tell you.
Oooh, Mogwai is playing Vivid Sydney in May.
Huge seafood spread on a table near the beach.
I just spent $60 Australian on this magnificent seafood feast for three people in An Bang, Vietnam - oysters, clams, prawns, beer and cocktails, looking out to sea.

All those years I avoided dressing my girls in matching outfits, and now theyβre getting identical tops made at a Vietnamese tailor!

True, but I bet theyβve heard the term.
In a law class I took once, a student did not know what a communist was.
