Unless you’re allergic to the New School of Hip Hop, you know of the electrifying rap feud between Drake and Meek Mill. But if you’re stuck in your not-today chilluns …here’s a recap. In what I imagine was an intoxicated rant fest with hoards of yes-men, Meek Mill went on Twitter and said Drake didn’t write his own bars. Ah shit. Stop comparing drake to me too…. He don’t write his own raps! That’s why he ain’t tweet my album because we found out! 😁 — Meek Mill (@MeekMill) July 22, 2015 Audio soon surfaced of alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller rapping lines from one of Drake’s many smash hits “10 Bands” on a reference track. All eyes were on DrakeBeard. He dropped “Charged Up,” an okay response that we soon learned was actually a stage-setter for one of the greatest diss tracks of our generation. https://soundcloud.com/octobersveryown/drake-back-to-back-freestyle Laden with piercing (and slightly misogynoristic, but corporate hip hop …) punchlines, Drake CA-LEARLY took the win. Drake evinced the strategic, clever, straightforwardness of a young Hov;…

Keep your eye out for owls! This week is big in the Harry Potter world: JK Rowling, Harry, and, of course, Neville Longbottom all celebrate their birthdays at the end of July. We cannot reflect on the Potterverse without asking that eternal question: which house are you in? We’ll be forthright. In Pottermore, both of us were given the choice between Gryffindor and one other house — Ravenclaw for me and Hufflepuff for Traci.  We aren’t house-ist …  but we also acknowledge that each has its flaws. Gryffindors are self-important, Ravenclaws are nerds, Slytherins are cold, and Hufflepuffs are human puffalumps. We love them all, and believe that anything – anything – can be sorted into a house. Fast Food Restaurants Taco Bell: Slytherin McDonald’s: Gryffindor Arby’s: Ravenclaw Wendy’s: Hufflepuff Reasoning: Nothing says “resourceful” like turning a Dorito into a taco shell. McDonald’s are the beloved popular favorite. Arby’s takes itself seriously and is true to its quirks – like, who serves roast beef? And I’m not sure if Wendy’s…

Chances are you probably already have seen the joke that has been circulating the social networks about finding an adultier adult. If not here it is:  It’s hilarious because it’s true, but in a way it’s really kind of scary. Maybe every generation transitioning from child to adult feels this way. Maybe the only reason we see it now is because we take comfort in being anonymously vulnerable online. It seems to me that this isn’t just an isolated feeling. It’s a rather pervasive feeling among people of the millennial generation. We’re told all our lives: “When you grow up, you are going to go to college. Take these classes so it’ll look good on your college resume. Join this activity because you might get a scholarship for college.  College. College. College.” And then something happens. We GRADUATE from college. Suddenly all the things we’ve been working for our ENTIRE lives is over. We have to go to work now? I thought I would just go to college forever.…

As someone who was conceived on an airplane in the early 1980s, and had a father who was a top MD at American Airlines growing up, and an aviation nut, below are helpful hints to ensure everyone has a pleasant journey. Skip to the bottom for the relevant stuff. Okay, some suggestions are… obviously jokes, so enjoy. But seriously, take note: (1) Spend the annual fee and join an airline club or ensure lounge access is an included benefit. The most miserable feeling is being stuck with animals and diseases that a germ-free airline club protects you from. And to know it exists behind a sliding glass door makes it more torturous. Don’t believe me? Read about Cathay Pacific’s approach to its new Tokyo Haneda Lounge. They designed it with being in your home living room in mind. Who wants to feel like you’re at an airport in an airport? And the lounge membership will pay for itself from all the duty-free you won’t be purchasing and premium spirits that …
