So thrilled for my debut to be in this issue and amongst these writers, with @arielmarkenjack.bsky.social at the helm! ♥️
It's Friday, I'm in love with the table of contents for Saros SF #5! We have such a wonderful variety of strange, lovely, and thought-provoking stories to share with readers of our Sound/Silence issue, and I couldn't be more proud to work with these fantastic writers on my first foray into editing 🖤

Bleeds by Wednesday is a great album. Highly recommend listening while staring out an NJ Transit window.

I can't wait for an adaptation of whatever is going on in Linode's US-East (Newark) today. Something like The Pitt, I imagine.

'Pythonic' is in-crowd meaningless jargon. Pure vibes, remove it from your vernacular.

Consultant brain is a huge part of why America is circling the drain. It's industrialized con artistry.

Will insufferable libs finally learn that you cannot support a genocide and beat Trump? Get it on the right side of this or forever be responsible for the fall. Bidens choice.

Compiling for both 2.13 and 3.3 is holding Scala back. Libraries could be shipping such cool stuff if they didn't have to make it work with both. I want typelevel syntax expressed as extensions!

Whole forums tracking individual cats, weirdos sephiroth posting at rival catwatchers etc

USA learns nothing, strikes Yemen again. Very cool country! Remind me why I should put forth effort in the coming election? Liberals talking like Rumsfeld in the replies, what a joke.
