Democrat Abigail Spanberger was elected governor of Virginia, the first woman to hold the office.

Say what you will about the Speaker but he sure as shit doesn’t get sucked into the doomscroll
RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

I just realized: next week we’ll have 6 people on the pod including 4 founders and 2 VCs. There’s going to be a surplus of confidence… and probably a lot of interruptions to clean up in post…

My colleague Dave Pacheco wrote up a great description of a new (to us?) Rust async pathology--"futurelock"--another extremely sharp edge to watch out for, with no particular guardrails. Of course, we'll be talking about it with @bcantrill.bsky.social on Monday's Oxide and Friends
