Rush is reunited with its faithful through tears and riffs

Rush is reunited with its faithful through tears and riffs

It was a celebration, a time machine and a delirious three-hour workout of air-drumming. Storming the Forum in Inglewood on Sunday, Canadian prog-rockers Rush played their first official concert since 2015, when the band ended what seemed to be its final tour, even if they couldn’t bring themselves to say so. During its more somber moments Sunday, the show also felt like a tribute to Neil Peart, the group’s revered scholar of a drummer who died of brain cancer in 2020, a loss that made such an evening unthinkable. But maybe most of all, it was a coronation of sorts — for 43-year-old German percussionist Anika Nilles, sitting on Peart’s throne. How did she wear the crown? Confidently. She nailed complex paradiddles and splashed nearly a dozen cymbals with abandon. Rarely did her expression stray from a furrowed brow. (To be fair, Peart’s never did either.) This is the most fearsome repertoire in all of pop music, and Nilles supplied its heartbeat and muscle, and most of its nuance. I sincerely hope she’s having fun. …

The vibes around the current AI boom aren’t great, even in the tech industry, according to a lengthy social media post from Menlo Ventures partner Deedy Das.  Das described San Francisco as “pretty frenetic right now,” as “the divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.” Using a “back of the envelope AI calculation,” he projected that there are around 10,000 people — founders and employees at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia — that have “hit retirement wealth of well above $20M,” while everyone else worries “they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there.” Plus, “layoffs are in full swing,” and “many software engineers feel that their life’s skill is no longer useful,” leading to confusion about the best career paths and “a deep malaise about work (and its future),” Das said.  This prompted some eye-rolling on X, with entrepreneur Deva Hazarika arguing that “most of the people in this post” are “incredibly fortunate and can simply make a choice to be happy.” Another user suggested …

Why You Can’t Rush Healing

Why You Can’t Rush Healing

I still remember the computer lab in undergrad, rows of bulky monitors, the hum of machines, and the quiet intensity that filled the room whenever we opened Adobe Illustrator. It was the late ’90s and early 2000s. We were using clunky mice and overly sensitive trackpads, trying to master Bézier curves with hands that cramped from the effort. What stands out most is not the software itself, but the people. Emerging adults, my peers, and even a few older adults would become visibly overwhelmed. I watched frustration turn into tears as they struggled to make a simple curve behave the way they intended. Illustrator demanded precision, patience, and a kind of embodied coordination that many of us had not yet developed. It was not just about learning a program. It was about tolerating the discomfort of not being good at something right away. At the time, I did not recognize this as anything more than a difficult class. I did not imagine myself becoming a therapist. But looking back, those moments, watching people hit their …
