NEWARK, N.J. – Nygee Johnson, also known as “Gito,” a 25-year-old member of the Rollin’ 60s Neighborhood Crips, has admitted his role in a racketeering conspiracy. The announcement was made today by U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger. Johnson pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Susan D.

Last year I bought the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and continue to enjoy the phone, even when I’m not “flipping” it in the way Samsung would probably prefer. I’ve been using its successor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, for the last week and have already been impressed by the camera alterations — but has it been enough to tempt me into an upgrade?

In the year of our tone lord 2024, we’ve moved past the great stompbox/multi-effects divide. Compact amp modeler floor units have bridged the gap and exist in harmony with standalone effects pedals. And Walrus Audio has seized on that pedalboard harmony with the launch of the Canvas Power HP pedalboard power supply.

“Will elevate the pedalboard experience for musicians everywhere”: Did Walrus Audio just drop the ultimate compact power supply for amp modelers and multi-FX rigs?

The CAGED chord shapes can be a great way of learning the geography of the fretboard. The shapes, both major and minor, occur in every position and key just like the pentatonic boxes. In fact, they form part of these very same patterns but in a far less linear ‘two-notes-per-string’...

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Back in 2022, when the Spirit Zulu Time first debuted, Longines not only tapped into its strong history of making aviation watches but also made a quintessential version of what a modern GMT watch should be. It came in a 42mm stainless steel case, which was just about the only complaint you could make; the large-for-a-pilot-watch was (and is) also quite heavy. But all that quickly changed with the release of both 39mm and 37mm versions — the latter of which ditched the rotating bezel for a dressier look.
