"Kardashev was not an oracle or a prophet; he was a 30-year-old astronomer living behind the iron curtain, grappling with the possibilities of a future that, for him, seemed shaped by a heady blend of hope and fear."
Last week, federal employees were sent an email titled “Fork in the Road”, inviting their resignations. Their deadline to respond is today. I wrote an op-ed for Scientific American explaining Musk’s preoccupation with the “fork in the road”, its connections to SETI, & why it’s a misguided idea.

"When Trump rounds up migrants and refugees and forces them into camps, or guts the federal regulatory state, or ushers in the next mass-casualty pandemic—it will all be downstream of an addled Biden’s stubborn refusal to apply meaningful pressure on Netanyahu for fifteen months."
Now that he’s back in the Oval Office, Trump is moving quickly to dismantle Joe Biden’s fragile legacy. But as @davidklion.bsky.social writes, the one thing that can’t be erased is Biden’s record on Gaza.

Project Esther is already in full force and intensifies Zionist tactics, weaponizing false antisemitism claims to crush the Palestinian rights movement and weaken struggles against US imperialism and white supremacy. It’s a coordinated assault on liberation movements.
READ: Do you know what Project Esther is? It’s the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint to crush Palestine solidarity, smear activists as terrorists, and revive McCarthyism.
