Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 11d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · 1d

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

The story should feel like this:

Its a curve that goes up, getting sharper as goes on, until it reaches its peak. There's a sudden post-climax drop-off, and then finishes with little plateau that, while not as high as the climax, is higher than the beginning.

A woman asks her partner "what do you get up to for ninety minutes in the shower?" her partner replies "normal stuff." We cut to her in the shower. She hunches over, one hand against the wall, hair obscuring her face. She says "weak..." she pause for a bit. Then once again she says "weak..."

We ended up pulling a number of sex mods listicles, for example, from various sites to appease the Google Gods. This is why my NSFW coverage at The Mary Sue silently dropped, although my coverage was never pulled luckily

Aftermath published an article on GameZone, an OG games journalism website that has since gotten its archives dumped & its content replaced w/ AI slop. But a key element missed in Aftermath’s archive dump discussion is that adult games coverage is often the first to be dumped

Look, GameZone wasn't a relevant games media resource in 2025. It hadn't been meaningfully updated in years, and seemed to exist solely to juice some social media accounts with large legacy followings and as an archive for 30
years' worth of video game journalism. But that last point was important! This is history, of the industry and the medium and of all the work everyone
who wrote for GameZone since 1994 had put in, and to have it all just deleted like that without notice doesn't just suck, it should--as l've said before--be
something that has some consequences.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."
