Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Column: New bidets might help the Chicago White Sox flush away the past The installation of new bidets in the Rate Field clubhouse is a great conversation starter at Chicago White Sox camp. Can they help flush away the past?

The team that bidets together stays together.

Or at least that’s the mantra of the Chicago White Sox after news that the team is introducing bidets in the clubhouse at the request of Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami.

I've posted a few 8-string basses on here, but I didn't know RIckenbacker had made any until today. This is one of two 8-string 4001 prototypes they made in 1974. Both of them have the same basic setup as the regular 4001 model. The bridge pickup is one of their massive horseshoes, and the neck pickup is smaller. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, and there's also a 3-way switch. The difference between the two models is the way they're strung. Chris Squire's is set up with the octave strings above the bass strings like on Rickenbacker's 12-string guitars (in other words, eEaAdDgG), and John Entwistle's (the one in the picture above) is set up with the octave strings below the bass strings (EeAaDdGg). The weirdest part of the guitar is the wavy 4/4 split headstock. I've seen it referred to as a potato or a frog foot, and I can see the resemblance to both.

I have been informed that Mr. Eno has now seen this. “Very amusing” was the verdict.

I get up to all sorts on Patreon.com/frasergeesin if you fancy it.

My comics are also “Very amusing” and cheap from Frasergeesin.com

Yep.

The Trainwreck Cinema of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band — Crooked Marquee The notorious Beatles cover boondoggle is currently, inexplicably streaming on Netflix. You may be tempted to see how bad it could be. Resist that temptation.

At Crooked Marquee this week I wrote about the SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND movie, which is on Netflix for some reason.

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.
