The new MAGA coalition between nationalist and Silicon Valley elites has long seemed on the verge of collapse. But it's a mistake to assume that a fallout is inevitable, writes @alibreland.bsky.social.
So Much for the MAGA Divorce
The nativist right is starting to make peace with Elon Musk.

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.
Here's Why Elon Musk's 'Fork in the Road' Is Really a Dead End
Elon Musk’s Fork in the Road isn’t just a sculpture—it’s a monument to the tech world’s obsession with civilizational survival, which has its roots in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence

A bit late to announce our recent discoveries: as this news said - in the beginning, we were just trying to see if the ETs are truly over there - will there be radio emissions from them, too? Surprisingly, we did find radio emissions near the stars. However, they should be hot DOG galaxies.
