There is a balance between being injured enough to show strength and resilience, but not too injured to suggest that the US almost succeeded.
That photo of Ali Khamenei is probably not "injured" enough, but it isn't demoralising in its nature.
They are either not wanting any chance of geolocation, though given how infiltrated the leadership is I can't see this as the answer.
It could also be that appearance is more messed up or more injured than "acceptable" and so are wanting to avoid the cameras.
Or they didn't want the printing costs
As was planned
Slightly cursed, but free for anyone to use in future.
Obligatory
The cool kids are calling it The Fun Crunch™

Who will be the party of "Tinnies in the Park"?
Any wonder we are getting more depressed, frustrated and despondent as a nation when we are caught in the pincer movement of having less disposable income for fun things and fun things costing more.
I know @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com, is the quoted party, but this never fails to hit me.
The war/intervention/conflict/madness that is happening in Iran.
Has anyone stopped to consider that Starmer has largely nailed the first fast-paced, highly-impactful, potentially polarising issue since McSweeney's departure?
Can't be a coincidence, surely not...
Has there been any actual attempt to work out whether the "Average Brit" would pass this test?
In the world of dodgy bar charts, nothing beats one based entirely on ✨vibes✨ from the Green Party in Barnsley.
One for @markpackuk.bsky.social's archive.
Starmer et al took each problem that came across their desk in isolation, it seems.
To fix the problems they needed to raise the money. causing inflation. This was done in isolation to the macro economic picture.
There is a need to be like a tree, bend and flex with the wind but have firm roots.
Whilst he hasn't been overtly successful with it, I see Ed Miliband's ability to flex with the times combined with a robust enough high level ideology as a good benchmark.
An inability to flex, or flexing too much with no ideological grounding both lead to difficult government.
I enjoy it too, have bought many a thing from there in a "buy it cheap, then buy it proper when it breaks" strategy.
Though, not really sure I am OK with things that can cause serious harm if improperly used being present.
Saw a welder and plasma cutter alongside the chainsaw.
Not to be too nanny state, but it really should be considered whether it is appropriate for Lidl to be selling chainsaws.
Famously, stitch-ups include how to book someone's services, their prices alongside direct quotes from them about how what they does works.
Also - £220 for 90 mins in 2013?!? Polanski was raking it in
What plagued the Lib Dems was having a media that was still semi-capable of hunting in a pack and applying pressure without the route round the side that comes from podcasts.
Add in social media that was big, but not divided into tribes and it was potentially the worst time for it.
The Greens are building a '97-'10 Lib Dem style voter coalition; soft tories, lefties and anti-establishments.
It is possible to make this stick at a very local level where what matters is right outside the front door, but can it survive a Coalition style event?
Has Chris Mason got some serious dirt on someone high up in the BBC?
How can anyone with even a little bit of journalistic ability look at him and think "He deserves to still be employed".
I am not completely up to speed on the electoral law around the display of imprints on digital signage vans. There isn't one in the image and absolutely no agent would put something out, however aggressive the message, without one.
Very healthy democracy here, absolutely something we should be striving for.
It genuinely comes from a place of concern.
I am recovering from having my brain boiled by factional and partisan politics. There was a time that I would have dismissed scummy behaviour from my side by excusing it or calling it fake.
This is not a healthy place to be.
I have seen Green Party supporters attack other parties over scales and accuracy of bar charts.
They are different points on a sliding scale of dishonesty, but each erodes the electorates trust in their own way.
NEITHER THESE THINGS ARE GOOD!
Has anyone stopped to think why people are getting pissed off with politics when it has become increasingly dirty and bad tempered.
I went into this by-election expecting this from Labour, I now have zero time for the Greens claiming that they are whiter than white.
Has anyone stopped to consider that the "You're all as bad as each other" attitude may not be helped by the feeling that this is all just a game to political parties and the "He said, she said" attacks over dodgy election practices?
If you can't believe that the party you support would do something dodgy then I would recommend that you take some time away from politics to re-calibrate what matters.
It is a lot of effort to go to for someone to create an advert, with imprint, pay for it's distribution that, to 99% of the population, endorses your opponents to try discredit them via the medium of being laughed at by nerds on BlueSky.
Then why does the imprint contain the name of the Green Party candidate, their agent and the address that they are using for the by-election?
So not only is it shoddy and misleading data visuals it is also devoid of any branding despite being paid for by the Green Party.
