In @taylorlorenz 's most recent newsletter, which I think is absolutely worth your time, she had a hysterical typo.

#Utah's governor has signed... an anti-DEI bill ... that mandates that all smartphones, tablets, computers sold in Utah come pre-installed with corn filtering software

It brought to mind this image of naked ears of corn that should not be seen by impressionable little minds.

She said she puts the word 'corn' into her YouTube scripts so she doesn't say 'porn' because the videos might get demonitized. And then she accidentally left that substitution in the email newsletter when it went out.

But yeah, go read her work. So many of these won't-someone-think-of-the-children bills are actually terrible when you look into them. It's hard to tell the difference between industrial strength stupidity and actual malice.

A screen capture of a newsletter paragraph. It has the words "corn filtering software" highlighted. It says 'Before this child influencer law, other recent legislation that Utah's governor has signed, includes an anti-DEl bill prohibiting diversity efforts, a bill that mandates that all smartphones, tablets, computers sold in Utah come pre-installed with corn filtering software, and the governor, is working overtime to restrict rights of transgender youth and limit their access to essential gender-affirming care. Utah's governor has fought aggressively against the right to abortion, he recently banned collective bargaining for public employees, and Utah just became the first state to ban LGBTQ+ pride flags in government buildings and schools. Does any of this sound like they're actually interested in protecting children?'
A photograph of a couple ears of corn in a field of corn. The husks have been pulled back to show the kernels on the ears of corn. I've pixelated the parts of the picture showing the kernels of corn, like the do in some porn pictures where they pixelize the naughty bits, but the scene and its intent are totally clear.

So I can't figure out if I'm a Harbinger, a Preference Minority or a Lead User. I definitely have tastes that sometimes aren't in the main stream.

If I like a TV series it is even money it will be cancelled before the end of the first season. But, maybe that is just the nature of TV these days.

"With online scams growing fast — the FTC says reported scams cost people in the U.S. more than $12.5 billion in 2024, which was a 25% increase on the 2023 figure — it shouldn't be a surprise that opposing them should be big business too. Indeed, this new form of entertainment is enough of a rising tide to lift all boats."

#Japan ‘becoming very angry’ with misbehaving #socialmedia #influencers
🤦‍♂️"Westerners may “hv a sense of superiority over Asians & don't feel they need to follow our laws/customs, but there's growing anger here & ordinary people want #police to be stronger”.
