Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Please keep contacting your representatives and demand they oppose repealing sec230, and oppose internet censorship/surveillance bills

Get friends and family involved, february is when they are going to make a major push

Posted by Sen Graham on Twitter, calling for a week in February “dedicated to advancing legislation that protects children from online threats and tackling the Section 230 crisis once and for all.” 10% of the senate sponsors the S230 repeal bill
Anited States Scate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 December 19, 2025 The Honorable John Thune Majority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Charles Schumer Minority Leader United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Leader Thune and Minority Leader Schumer, On February 8, 1996, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was enacted. Included within this legislation was the Communications Decency Act and the now-notorious Section 230. What was originally passed with the goal of helping the emerging Internet industry as our nation approached a new century has since been interpreted to shield big tech companies from accountability for an ever-expanding variety of online harms. As we approach the 30-year anniversary of Section 230, we must pause and reflect on where this law has led us as a nation and how it has affected the American people. Because of Section 230, America's children are being sexually groomed and extorted online; predators are creating and distributing Al-generated deepfake pornography; drug traffickers are selling fentanyl-laced pills to teenagers; young people's anxieties, stresses, and body image issues are exploited; and terrorist organizations and foreign governments are targeting vulnerable individuals for recrutment and exploitation. And to make matters worse, Section 230 prevents these victims and their families from ever having their day in court. Practically speaking, there is no regulatory agency overseeing social media that could provide meaningful relief to abused consumers. The combination of having the courthouse door locked and no real regulatory body to protect consumers is harmful to America and it must come to an end. The time for accountability is now. Few issues have generated more bipartisan consensus in this body than confronting the Section 230 problem. Indeed, there are few issues as important for Congress to confront than the escalating threat of online harms to Americans, especially America's children. As a res…

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..."

Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.
A propaganda poster in a painterly style. At the top there is a Nazi soldier in a faded grey with his hands raised at the point of a bayonet. Above him it says "We beat 'em before.." Below him in darker grey is an ICE agent in the same posture, with a hand pushing back at him, its palm out in a "stop" gesture. Below it says "We'll beat 'em again!"

Another bill aimed at repealing section 230 has been introduced, this time in the senate

Please continue to advocate for protecting Sec 230 to your reps. We dont know how much support these bills will get yet, but they are obviously trying to push this issue

This is important. 🚨

If Section 230 is repealed, it means we lose our core tools of protest. No more No Kings, no more @Indivisible or @50501 or ICE out of Home Depot coordinating across the country.

Some thoughts on S230 repeal:

- I think this is the most sincere and dedicated attempt to repeal S230 that we’ve seen this decade
- No idea if it passes. I think it has an elevated shot. The writing is on the wall, those in power have designs for the Internet we know and love
- Life after S230…

A lot of LGBTQ+ organizations like @glaad.bsky.social, @hrc.org, and @trevorproject.bsky.social are failing to realize that they’re advocating for the demise of their own content by supporting a “child internet safety” bill, KOSA, that would actually hurt millions of queer youths if it becomes law!

In the Kids Onle Safety hearing going on right now they predictably called privacy and free speech concerns "a farce"

I think we should call and refute this shameful behavior extremely loudly

The absolute kicker to all of this is that most of the solutions they are seeking already exist on your phone. They just need to be enabled by parents.

But, no, they want to bring an East Wing demolition crew to everyone's internet because no one can be bothered going to "settings."

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

The House Committee Meeting was heavily in favor of these various censorship/surveillance bills

We need now, more than ever, to counter the rhetoric that these bills are "popular" and demand our reps oppose them!

If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Ana is being put on a plinth and sacrificed to show that people speaking out will be removed from society. They're counting on this being what stops people from speaking out.
This is going to be every single creator in a few months too if people allow this to work. Never been more important to call.

Spoke to a second source familiar with what’s going on with paypro censorship toward me. It seems I’ve been blacklisted among paypros as a creator, particularly for mommy domme content. This could escalate into debanking, I learned
