it suggests that the ruling classes look for people who already ideologically aligned with them and that the rulling class takes efforts to ensure that those people’s careers are furthered along to ensure that they’re giving power.

Which is ironically what Chomsky believed. 📺 Noam Chomsky Stumps Andrew Marr

Hibernation is suspend-to-RAM. Torpor is suspend-to-disk.

That was my first thought.

A bear hunkered down in its winter den is in a different state of energy conservation than hibernation. Instead, bears enter a state called torpor (the adjective for which is torpid).
Unlike hibernation, torpor is involuntary, and primarily triggered by lack of food. This state is also found in other groups of mammals like marsupials, and even in some birds that depend on summer insects.
Another difference between torpor and hibernation is that torpor is a continuous low-energy state, without arousal periods when the animal’s activity spikes.
Torpor is primarily found in black and brown bears. That’s largely because these bears are omnivores with a preference for plants.

You might think that polar bears, living in harsh Arctic conditions, would enter torpor for longer than other bears, but most remain active all winter. Once again, it all comes down to diet.

As for the recent porn spam, some troll is making accounts impersonating other users and spamming communities.

Also just now I got an abusive DM telling me to kill myself and accusing me of being an astroturfer.

Please do report these.

I’m just wondering if they contracted the statue out to some artist without sharing their plans.

I think the first part is a safe assumption, but I can I can’t imagine any reason for secrecy. It may have been state or community or corporate funding.

It’s not a spontaneous protest. It’s an organized commemoration of the Sha (a comprador of US empire) being overthrown 47 years ago.

Missiles and anti-Israeli chants: Iran marks the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution

One of the most striking scenes involved protesters setting fire to a sculpture representing Baal, an ancient Canaanite deity often invoked as a symbol of evil. The figure was depicted with a Star of David and an image of U.S. President Donald Trump, as crowds chanted “Death to Israel.”
