Joey 'Detchibe' W.

This piece lays out all the reasons AI is ill-suited for historical work — getting facts wrong, relying on existing sources only, churning out banal claims in bland prose, etc — and then asserts we’ll all just have to use it anyway.

Yeah, no.

Canadians with an X gender marker will now have to select male or female on Nexus travel cards after Trump order

The CBSA said that valid Nexus cards with an X held by Canadians will also still be recognized. But when Canadians apply to renew their card or apply for a new one, they can no longer choose an X as their gender marker. “New applicants are able to apply using a passport with the ‘X’ gender identifier, however they will be required to select ‘male’ or ‘female’ for the purposes of their NEXUS membership,” CBSA spokesperson Rebecca Purdy said.

Been on the lookout for i-mode magazines lately which inadvertently led me to this cup I'm chuffed to have nabbed

So apparently an AI was going to travel to Oakhurst California four times to produce original 30-some oral histories; study roads, buildings, maps; look thru 20 years of the only physical bound copy of of the town paper in existence; go through old documents that people left in their garages

Joey and Michael at the airport in matching Just Married shirts. Joey is distraught but Michael is very brave.

Did you know saying goodbye to your partner actually doesn’t get easier if you’re married? Isn’t that crazy?

Joey and Michael in front of the Alberta foothills.

I just realised this makes it seem like he died or we broke up. He didn’t and we didn’t.

The library my husband works at swears by their large format Epson scanners for negatives but I’ve seen lots of folks online say a DSLR with a macro lens is best if you’re serious about it

The Epson Perfection is intended more for digitising film strips and slides for friends and family but scanning fliers at 2400DPI is a nice bonus.

Three scanners, a plustek OpticBook A300 Plus, Fujitsu fi-7480, and Epson Perfection v550

My tower of scanning power is complete

Black and white photo of Joey and Michael in a prairie. Joey is walking ahead of Michael. They both have their heads down. Joey is wearing a striped tee under a denim shirt with rolled up sleeves, with slacks and sandals. Michael is wearing a patterned button up and dark shorts.

Michael goes back home tomorrow
Though I am very sad about it, I am comforted by how lucky I am to have as steady a love as his. How fortunate we are to know an end to our distance is closer than ever

Joey and Michael in front of the Saskatchewan River.

Michael was also there!

Joey leaning against a wooden railing in front of a river valley. They are wearing a navy blue ball cap, navy blue pleated hakama pants, a white short sleeved collared blouse, and brown leather purse. They are trying to look nonchalant like they weren’t having coughing fits immediately before and after this photo was taken.

Went up to Edmonton on the only hot day of the summer so far

My dad had foot surgery recently and adores this thing. He doesn’t get around super fast on it, but not having to use crutches makes it worth it to him

Are #age-verification systems for adult websites new? Not really. Many of for-pay adult websites in the 1990s used either a password verification system or the Adult Check pass, an age verification service owned by Cybernet Ventures. #OSA #DSA

YouTube video by Detchibe 177: "It's not a crime if it's a game" | Disgraceful (Censored Reupload)

As the erasure of 'controversial' works continues, now seems as good a time as any to plug my video essay on 177, its context in the Japanese games market, how it informed future legislation limiting erotic games sales, and why getting rid of this material doesn't fix society's problems.

And if you’d like to know more about the history of stripping games and the first* erotic game, a history of Yakyūken by Hudson Soft (1979)

YouTube video by Detchibe Lover Boy: The Erotic Maze Game Banned in West Germany | Disgraceful

Or for a look at a Western equivalent, a shorter video on Lover Boy, the erotic maze game banned in West Germany due to its content and fears that children might consume it (plus, the importance of honest representations of difficult and obscure histories)
