AI founders explore psychedelic consciousness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When AI, math and physics researcher Alejandro Zarzuelo first arrived in the Bay Area from Spain, he joined friends he’d met online from similar circles. Naturally, they embarked on a four-day bender, one that included an LSD session. Zarzuelo had never tried it before, but if he was ever going to, it would be now. The experience turned emotional. Zarzuelo began to cry: He felt connected to these people, and they felt connected to his work. “I was surrounded by people who knew me for my accompli
Destiny Muhammad reinvents jazz harp (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Destiny Muhammad was a 9-year-old living in Compton, she saw Harpo Marx playing the harp on the beloved sitcom, I Love Lucy.

A mild hindrance for some can be a harsh injury for others, leading advocates and members of disabled communities in the city to seek change. On Aug. 14, a Zoom meeting was held for community members to voice their concerns and suggest solutions to the problem of e-scooters infringing o
Social Eyes: Week of Oct. 1-7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eric D. Johnson rolls into town with his band, Fruit Bats, and a new album, Landfill. The 10-track album produced with minimal overdubs lays bare the band’s understated power: great drumming, solid guitar and lyrics that are never ruffly or overly romantic or so rough they rub the heart raw. It’s the kind of music that makes a person want to buy a deep-maroon pickup truck and drive across the middle of the country on dusty dirt roads.
