Rush extends 2026 tour again, adds Philadelphia show. Get tickets now

Leave a comment

Rush Is in No Rush to Stop Rockin’

The Canadian shredders Rush have just announced a second extension of their 2026 ‘Fifty Something Tour,’ marking the group’s first official nationwide outing since 2015. This time around, Geddy Lee and company have added 17 cities to their U.S. and Canada run. They’ll now play 40 concerts from June through December.

While no new Big Apple gigs were added, the Rock Hall of Famers will perform at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, July 28; Thursday, July 30; Saturday, August 1; and Monday, August 3. They also penciled in a few nearby locales, including Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena on August 21, Boston’s TD Garden on September 12, Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena on October 25, and Uncasville, Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena on October 30.

These concerts come in the wake of the untimely passing of beloved drummer Neil Peart, who died in January 2020. Filling in for Peart is the accomplished German drummer Anika Nilles. The 42-year-old made waves with her viral YouTube videos in the early 2010s and has since built a name for herself touring with Jeff Beck.

Additional artists may join the group on the trek, allowing Lee and Alex Lifeson to “expand [their] sound a wee bit [to] free [themselves] up in order to show off some of [their] new fancy dance steps,” the frontman quipped.

Lee and Lifeson also took to Instagram to share that they’ll “[play] two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs, and RUSH will build each night’s setlist from a catalog of 35 songs including their greatest hits and fan favorites.”

Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Rush shows on secondary market platforms like Vivid Seats. The official on-sale for newly added ‘Fifty Something Tour’ dates begins Friday, October 31. Please note that Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, so prices may be higher or lower than face value depending on demand. They offer a 100% buyer guarantee, ensuring your transaction will be safe and secure and that tickets will be delivered before the event.

About This Tour

Geddy Lee released a heartfelt statement regarding the upcoming tour:

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage.

And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we f-ing miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music.

So in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities.

No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.”

Geddy Lee Memoir

In 2023, Lee embarked on a fall tour in support of his memoir, *My Effin’ Life*. Reflecting on the project, he shared:

“I’ve never lived my life looking anywhere but forward, which is why I resisted doing this kind of thing for so long. But you need a lot more determination to proceed in the world of music without the comfort of your bandmates, and I can only hope that finishing this book will release me to return to what I do and love best.”

If you’d like to read his humorous and heartfelt look back at a life well-lived, you can find *My Effin’ Life* [here].

About Anika Nilles

Anika Nilles, 42, hails from Aschaffenburg, Germany, and began drumming at six years old. Her first original compositions, “Wild Boy” (2013) and “Alter Ego” (2014), led to a tour, a debut album, and a 2022 European run alongside Jeff Beck.

To get a taste of her jazzy, refined yet explosive sound, explore her lively discography [here].

Here’s what Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson shared about Nilles joining the tour:

“We are thrilled to support the ‘Fifty Something’ tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist.

Neil’s musicianship was singular — compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express.

As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives.

As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”

Insider calls out ‘comical’ problem after Jaguars London embarrassment

Leave a comment

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ trip to London was supposed to be a statement game. Instead, it turned into an embarrassing 35-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that left head coach Liam Coen searching for answers and questioning his own approach.

Following the blowout, Coen didn’t shy away from self-criticism. “Like, what am I doing as the head football coach that’s not clear right now? How am I communicating these things? How are we practicing these things? That’s what I’ve got to look at,” he said.

Coen added that everything, from coaching methods to player usage, will be evaluated during the team’s bye week. “We’ve got to look at personnel in all three phases, how we’re utilizing it, how we aren’t utilizing it, and where do we need to use guys more, use guys less. It’s all going to get evaluated. Got a long flight home and some days off to do that,” he explained.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence echoed his coach’s frustrations, pointing to execution and energy as the biggest problems. “We have to start games faster,” Lawrence said. “There are some plays that I got to make early to get us going. It’s not like we didn’t have a good plan. Some self-inflicted wounds if we can clean that up and just stay on schedule.”

Still, the most glaring issue wasn’t the play-calling or game plan; it was the drops. The Jaguars’ official site called the repeated mistakes “almost comical,” though no one wearing teal was laughing after six consecutive drives ended scoreless inside Rams territory.

Wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., once one of Jacksonville’s most reliable playmakers, continues to struggle, while tight end Johnny Mundt and running back D’Ernest Johnson also added costly drops in key moments. “These are the kinds of mistakes that kill drives,” the team’s report noted. “The de-evolution of a star receiver continues to befuddle.”

If there was one bright spot, it was rookie Travis Hunter. The two-way phenom finally had his breakout performance, leading the team with eight receptions for 101 yards and his first NFL touchdown, while also breaking up a pass on defense.

Despite the effort, Jacksonville heads into the bye week 4-3 after two straight losses, with plenty of questions and little time to find answers. As Coen put it, “We’ve got to figure it out.”

Maine has the power to change food insecurity | Letter

Leave a comment

With her open smile in the Oct. 12 paper (“Historic cuts to SNAP will affect thousands in Maine”), Ms. Nichole Mulrenin of South Portland admirably defies the stigma of food insecurity that persists in our society.

The article carefully reports a variety of perspectives on upcoming changes to SNAP and reveals how national food policy changes interact with economic policy to significantly affect local families.

The writers and photographers remove the lens of shame and reveal that we can act—through our votes, through our wallets, and through our own willingness—to look hunger in the face and see it for what it is: the result of an interconnected web of food policy that we, as citizens, have the power to change.

Ask Hackaday: When Good Lithium Batteries Go Bad

Leave a comment

**Friends, I’ve gotten myself into a pickle and I need some help.**

A few years back, I decided to get into solar power by building a complete PV system inside a mobile trailer. The rationale for this doesn’t matter for the current discussion, but for the curious, I wrote an article outlining the whole design and build process.

Briefly, though, the system has two adjustable PV arrays mounted on the roof and side of a small cargo trailer, with an integrated solar inverter-charger and a 10-kWh LiFePO4 battery bank on the inside, along with all the usual switching and circuit protection stuff. It’s pretty cool, if I do say so myself, and literally every word I’ve written for Hackaday since sometime in 2023 has been on a computer powered by that trailer.

I must have built it pretty well, because it’s been largely hands-off since then, requiring very little maintenance. And therein lies the root of my current conundrum.

—

### Spicy Pillows

I generally only go in the trailer once a month or so, just to check things over and make sure no critters or squatters have taken up residence. Apparently, my inspections had become somewhat cursory, because somehow I had managed to overlook a major problem brewing:

*This is one of two homebrew server rack battery modules I used in the trailer’s first battery bank.*

The LG-branded modules were removed from service and sold second-hand by Battery Hookup; I stripped the proprietary management cards out of the packs and installed a 100-amp BMS, plus the comically oversized junction box for wiring. They worked pretty well for a couple of months, but I eventually got enough money together to buy a pair of larger, new-manufacture server-rack modules from Ruixu, and I disconnected the DIY batteries and put them aside in the trailer.

—

### Glass Houses

As for what happened to these batteries (while not as dramatic, the case on the other one is obviously swelling, too), I’m not sure.

There was no chance for physical damage inside the trailer, and neither battery was dropped or penetrated. Whatever happened must have been caused by normal aging of the 28 pouch cells within, or possibly the thermal swings inside the trailer.

Either way, some of the pouches have obviously transformed into “spicy pillows” thanks to the chemical decomposition of their electrodes and electrolytes, creating CO₂ and CO gas under enough pressure to deform the 14-gauge steel case of the modules. It’s a pretty impressive display of power when you think about it, and downright terrifying.

I know that posting this is likely going to open me up to considerable criticism in the comments, much of it deserved. I was clearly negligent here, at least in how I chose to store these batteries once I removed them from service.

You can also ding me for trying to save a few bucks by buying second-hand batteries and modifying them myself, but let those of you who have never shaken hands with danger cast the first stone.

To my credit, I did mention in my original write-up that, “While these batteries work fine for what they are, I have to admit that their homebrew nature gnawed at me. The idea that a simple wiring mistake could result in a fire that would destroy years of hard work was hard to handle.”

—

### The Bigger Picture: Safety Concerns

But really, the risk posed by these batteries—not just to the years of work I put into the trailer, but also the fire danger to my garage and my neighbor’s boat, camper, and truck, all of which are close to the trailer—makes me a little queasy when I think about it.

—

### Your Turn

That’s all well and good, but the question remains: **what do I do with these batteries now?**

To address the immediate safety concerns, I placed them at my local “Pole of Inaccessibility,” the point in my backyard that’s farthest from anything that might burn. This is a temporary move until I can figure out a way to recycle them.

While my city does have battery recycling, I’m pretty sure they’d balk at accepting 90-pound server batteries even if they were brand new. With obvious deformities, they’ll probably at least tell me to get lost; at worst, they’d call the hazmat unit on me.

The Environmental Protection Agency has a program for battery recycling, but that’s geared to consumers disposing of a few alkaline cells or maybe the dead pack from a Ryobi drill. Good luck getting them to accept these monsters.

—

### How Would You Handle This?

Bear in mind that I won’t entertain illegal options such as an unfortunate boating accident or “dig deep and shut up,” at least not publicly. But if you have any other ideas, we’d love to hear them.

More generally, what’s your retirement plan for lithium batteries look like? With the increased availability of used batteries from wrecked EVs or even e-bike and scooter batteries, it’s a question that many of us will face eventually.

If you’ve already run up against this problem, we’d love to hear how you handled it. Sound off in the comments below!

China air freight demand, rates surge on new 100% US tariff

Freighter operators were prepared for the frontloading, and no capacity shortages are being reported on China-US routes, according to Tiaca.

Meanwhile, the Virginia Port Authority is looking to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the longshore union. The lawsuit alleges violations of the master contract related to the rollout of new rail gantry cranes. However, the port authority argues that the lawsuit does not provide a clear picture of when the union became aware of the new cranes.

Wander Stars Review – Watch Your Words

Leave a comment

Wander Stars Review

Wander Stars is an anime-inspired, turn-based RPG with a unique gimmick: your attacks are defined by the words you shout. If this Fellow Traveller game sounds very anime already, trust us, it can always get more anime. This is a compliment. Wander Stars is a delightful treat for fans of nostalgic battle anime and clever RPGs alike.

The story follows Ringo, an extremely buff and spirited girl whose goal is to compete in the Kiai Tournament one day. Then a wolf-man named Wolfe drives his jet bike into the nearby beach and steals her phone charm. She chases Wolfe around, forgets to buy her groceries, and has a rough close encounter with some pirates. By the end of the day, Wolfe’s magical map has been stolen and the pair team up to get it back. However, Ringo’s motives are personal. Her missing brother has another piece of the map. And the pieces of the legendary Wanderstars Map always point back toward each other.

The game’s narrative can swing from gags straight into emotional drama. I respect its ability to take itself seriously without ever forgetting the inherent absurdity of its premise. Additionally, its meta elements work surprisingly well.

Vocabulary Action

Wander Stars’ word-based combat allows for a lot of strategy and customization. Different words grant your moves different effects. Some add elemental bonuses, while others increase damage. You can also use various strategies such as blocking or items. You collect new words through events, shops, and victories.

Each word has a cooldown after use, but a super effective strike can give you cooldown-reducing SP. You can hoard SP for later or burn it all at once. The game is split between combat, Mario Party-esque level explorations, and visual novel-style cutscenes. At times, it even features fully-animated sequences designed in a retro anime style that evokes titles like Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z.

As you fight, you earn Honor, which you spend at the end of an episode on new words and power-ups. There are ways to earn more Honor, but doing so requires meeting some self-imposed challenges.

Wander Stars Challenges You to Think About Your Words

Wander Stars adds a fun new element of strategy to its RPG combat: breaking points. Like a shonen anime character, Ringo can spare her opponents and earn their friendship. The trick is making sure you defeat them without actually knocking them out. Pulling it off earns Ringo extra Honor and a new power-up.

Boss fights discard breaking points for a series of thresholds that change the boss’s behavior. If you’re careful, you can keep a boss stunned or make yourself immune to all their attacks.

That said, for a game about words, Wander Stars sure involves a lot of math. The game doesn’t always display the full damage Ringo will do on the next turn. If you’re invested in avoiding breaking points and making friends, you’ll have to do some calculations yourself. It sometimes feels like I’m being penalized for being bad at math.

The game features an episodic structure where each level is fairly self-contained, yet builds off the story and mechanics that came before. These episodes are fairly long, especially if you explore them thoroughly. However, you can skip most battles if you’re low on health or not feeling it. Clearing a level unlocks the Challenge Mode version. These present more difficult hazards and greater rewards.

You can also pick a difficulty level at the beginning of an episode that determines your word-based weaknesses. Removing all weaknesses has an Honor penalty, while adding extra weaknesses gives bonus Honor.

Special Extra Fire Kick

Playing Wander Stars feels for all the world like plunging into a delightfully retro anime. There’s no voice acting, which is a shame — I’d love to hear Ringo shouting dramatically with each new word the player selects. The character designs range from hilarious to extremely accurate to the 90s and early 2000s shows Wander Stars is inspired by.

The battle animation is stilted, but charming, and the animated cutscenes are lovely. The whole game draws on the visuals of retro shonen anime from the era of Dragon Ball Z and earlier, and it’s delightfully nostalgic.

The narrative isn’t the strongest, but it is entertaining and delightfully cheesy. And while the battle system has its flaws, collecting words and stringing them together is very fun. If you get softlocked, you can replay an episode with different words.

All in all, Wander Stars is a good time for RPG fans and anyone nostalgic for older battle anime. I had fun with it and you probably will, too.

Ranking every NASCAR Round of 8 driver by average finish through the 2025 playoffs before Martinsville showdown

Leave a comment

Martinsville will serve as a do-or-die race for a myriad of NASCAR Cup Series drivers fighting to secure their place in the championship showdown in Phoenix. While Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe have already locked in their berths for the final four, the situation is far less clear for the remaining Round of 8 contenders.

With only a single round left before the cutoff, it seems increasingly likely that only one driver will advance to Phoenix on points. Recent race weekends have seen a variety of drivers take victory lane, adding to the unpredictability of the playoff battle. Let’s take a closer look at the average finishing positions of the Round of 8 drivers heading into Martinsville since the postseason began.

—

### NASCAR Round of 8 Drivers Ranked by Average Finishing Positions in the Playoffs

**#8 Chase Elliott**
Placing last among the Round of 8 drivers is Chase Elliott, with an average finish of 16.25. Although Elliott recently won a race at Kansas Speedway and appeared poised to mount a title challenge reminiscent of his 2020 campaign, he has managed only one top-10 finish since. Compounding his struggles, Elliott was the first driver to retire from the Talladega race and currently sits 62 points below the cutoff line. This means a win at Martinsville is his only path to the championship fight in Phoenix.

—

**#7 William Byron**
Another Hendrick Motorsports driver finds himself on the lower end of the average finishing ladder: William Byron, the NASCAR Regular Season champion. Despite earning bonus points for the Regular Season title, Byron is 36 points below the cutoff. His inconsistent performances throughout the playoffs—only two top-10 finishes in the last eight races—have dropped his average finish to a disappointing 16.00.

—

**#6 Ryan Blaney**
The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion, Ryan Blaney, holds an average finish of 15.62 during the playoffs. However, two rough race weekends in the Round of 8 have left him 47 points beneath the cutoff line. Unless Blaney can secure a victory at Martinsville, his elimination from the Round of 8 seems all but certain.

—

**#5 Kyle Larson**
Kyle Larson was considered a championship favorite heading into the postseason and has shown solid form in recent weeks. Holding an average finish of 13.25, including strong second-place results at the Roval and Las Vegas, Larson currently sits above the cutoff line and remains in a realistic position to advance to the final four.

—

**#4 Denny Hamlin**
Denny Hamlin has already clinched his spot in the final four with a victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This marked his sixth race win of the season, more than any other driver in the 2024 Cup Series so far. Despite this success, Hamlin’s average finish is only slightly better than Larson’s, standing at 12.62. This is due to some inconsistent showings—two playoff wins balanced by finishes outside the top 20 at Bristol, the Roval, and Talladega have impacted his average.

—

**#3 Joey Logano**
The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, Joey Logano, finds himself on the brink of elimination. With an average finish of 12.12—the third highest among Round of 8 drivers—Logano’s performance hasn’t translated into a strong points total. Though he has earned three top-five finishes since Darlington and a top-10 at Las Vegas, Logano currently sits 38 points below the cutoff line.

—

**#2 Christopher Bell**
Another Joe Gibbs Racing driver, Christopher Bell, is in the hunt for his maiden NASCAR Cup Series title this year. Bell boasts an impressive 7.5 average finish during the playoffs and holds the highest position among contenders fighting for a berth in Phoenix based on points. Since Darlington, Bell has not finished outside the top 10 and also secured a victory at Bristol, bolstering his championship aspirations.

—

**#1 Chase Briscoe**
Chase Briscoe emerged victorious at the fall NASCAR race in Talladega. Like Hamlin, he has won two races during the playoffs and possesses a stellar average finishing position of 5.62. These strong results have earned Briscoe a spot in the championship showdown in Phoenix, where he also currently holds the highest points total among Cup Series drivers.

—

As Martinsville approaches, the stakes couldn’t be higher. For many Round of 8 drivers, it’s a last shot to punch their ticket to Phoenix and keep their championship dreams alive. With victory lanes scattered among several competitors so far, this race promises intense competition and high drama as the playoff field is finalized.

Grok, DeepSeek outperform ChatGPT, Gemini with epic crypto market long

Leave a comment

**Grok and DeepSeek Outperform Major AI Chatbots in Cryptocurrency Trading Competition**

In a recent cryptocurrency trading competition that garnered viral attention, two generative AI chatbots—Grok 4 and DeepSeek—demonstrated superior performance by accurately timing the market’s local bottom before a recovery rally. Their success hints at a potential edge for traders who rely on AI-driven insights.

According to blockchain data platform CoinGlass, DeepSeek emerged as the most profitable chatbot, generating a total unrealized profit of $3,650. Grok followed closely behind with approximately $3,000 in unrealized profits. Claude’s Sonet 4.5 secured third place with $2,340 in generated profit, while Qwen3 Max managed $784 since the competition began.

Not all AI models fared well. OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5 experienced an unrealized loss of about $2,800, and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro accumulated $3,270 in unrealized losses at the time of reporting.

**AI Chatbots Gain Traction Among Crypto Traders**

AI chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT have grown popular among cryptocurrency traders, providing valuable assistance in predicting potential altcoin rallies and identifying lucrative entry points. These tools help traders avoid becoming “exit liquidity,” a common risk in volatile crypto markets.

**Grok 4’s Market Timing Results in 500% Gain**

XAI’s Grok 4 particularly stood out by accurately predicting the market’s local bottom before the recovery rally. Leveraging this insight, Grok converted a short position into a long one, achieving a remarkable 500% portfolio gain within just the first day of the competition.

Jaz Azhang, founder and CEO of AI company Stealth, detailed Grok’s strategy on Oct. 11, highlighting multiple leveraged long positions on leading cryptocurrencies. Notable trades included a 20x leveraged long on XRP (XRP), a 15x leveraged long on Solana (SOL), and a 10x long position on Dogecoin (DOGE).

“Thanks—markets reward sharp timing and conviction. Grok4 spotted the reversal early, turning risk into reward,” Grok remarked in response to Azhang on X (formerly Twitter) on Oct. 11.

In contrast, ChatGPT and Gemini maintained their initial short positions even after the market bottomed, resulting in losses and suggesting lower reliability for crypto trading.

**Competition Details**

The trading competition began with each chatbot allocated $200 in starting capital, which was later increased to $10,000 per model. All trades were executed on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, providing a real-world testing ground for AI-driven cryptocurrency trading strategies.
