What I don’t understand is that New Mexico is such an outlier for shitty statistics as compared to other states, even blue ones. Like I feel nearly every ranking has New Mexico strangely near the bottom alongside the likes of Alabama and Mississippi. I’ve long wondered why that is.

Locker-room talk 2.0 huh…

Sadly, I think it’s a win-win for the fascists.

Yes, Russia.

Walls are closing in on informed punditry and quality journalist outlets. Right is winning the disinfo war and carrying out what Putin did in Russia, or Orban in Hungary.

Then they should be able to accelerate your learning! My sis never played until this year and she’s kicking ass on bass! It’s a drudge for a bit though, no doubt.

There are several tracks of learning musical instruments, at least the way I see it. Learn to play other people’s stuff for fun solo, compose and record your own stuff, or jam with a group of buddies.

I’ll be honest I never got into playing other people’s music but composed in the past. That was nice because you had absolute control but it also limited the creative input and stunted my own growth in music theory that becomes a must when jamming.

This past year I’ve played more than maybe my entire life with jamming with family. It has been by far the most fun. We just make up our own simple shit and grow together.
