Over on Whatever (my personal site) I wrote a longish post-mortem of Ohio Issue 1, why I think it failed, and what it means for the upcoming November election and abortion access in Ohio:

@stephen @waitworry huh, yeah it's possible it varies by cultivar. I remember them being juicy like mangos but so astringent it felt like eating raw lemon peels.

@waitworry we had cashew trees at one of the places I lived in growing up. The worst part is the fruit looks delicious but tastes awful (at least raw, allegedly you can cook them to taste less horrendous but we never tried). The second worst part is the shells are toxic and can cause skin irritation and rashes if you touch them too much.

On the plus side, they're great trees for climbing šŸ˜‚

I guess on some deep level I don't understand why Mark Zuckerberg needs all of my personal data three separate times. It's starting to seem like an obsession.

@ZachWeinersmith I'm looking forward to the metaverse brain chip that requests access to your childhood memories, sexual fetishes, visual cortex, and serotonin levels and won't function without them.
