By that definition there is no meaning to the word "now". If I'm five feet away from you, it takes time for light to travel between us.
Snark aside, using the phrase "now" to describe an in-motion event that is observed over 29000 light years is misleading and should rather say "is now observed as 29000 light years away".

Yes, exactly!
"Now" is an extremely useful concept on Earth, when we're all in approximately the same space going approximately the same speed. Now gets a lot done for us.
Now is not really a concept on the universal scale. "There is no meaning to now" is a great take-away from general relativity!
