I do like my hardback’s cover a bit more than the Penguin one:
The cover of the hardback first edition of _There is No Antimemetics Division_ by qntm. Featuring a hulking monolith rising over a mist-shrouded evergreen forest, in sepia-esque hues of khaki and dakr brown, with the lettering in a futuristic font and silver foil.

He equal-opportunity blocks anyone who's a dick to him. (just like anyone should on here). There just happen to be a lot of trans people being dicks in response to a months-ago obvious joke. Nuclear block is a thing here for a reason. His support for trans rights is very positive and unequivocal:
Headline: KEN JENNINGS SAYS HE CARES "MORE DEEPLY" ABOUT TRANS RIGHTS THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE

Text: "Jennings added 'Anyone who knows me eve a little, or has even followed me long on social media already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn't mean that's changed at all."

I just got a red TK-1... I have a JHS Signature on preorder... I don't need a Squier Paranormal III Troublemaker Telecaster. I don't need a Squier Paranormal III Troublemaker Telecaster. I don't need a Squier Paranormal III Troublemaker Telecaster. I don't NEED one, but boy do I WANT one! 🎸
A Squier Paranormal III "Troublemaker" Telecaster.
It's a normal Telecaster shape, but it has a bound black body with a white half pickguard, it has the big 70's headstock. block inlays and a Bigsby, but the "Trouble" begins with its resemblance to a Les Paul:

Instead of the normal Tele electronics setup, it's got double humbuckers, with the 3-way switch on the upper bout, then below the pickguard it has separate volume and tone knobs for each pickup, with coil splits on push-pull pots on the tone knobs.

I'm just gonna have to come to grips with the fact that I seem to love weird, brown guitars:
A 60's era Greco Made in Japan semi-hollow body guitar in rosewood. It has two "devil-horn" cutaways, two pickups, and a bigsby-like vibrato into an art-deco style metal tailpiece. The body is a streaky dark brown natural finished wood with double F-holes, and there's a black pick guard. Two single-coil-seeming pickups, with a three-way switch on the lower bout and two  control knobs. The headstock is a 3x3 that vaguely resembles Gibson's "open book" shape.
