I can’t stop watching videos about the Drake and Kendrick Lamar rap battle. It’s so big and personal and weird that it’s getting coverage on channels totally unrelated to music. And now that someone shot Drake’s security guard in a drive-by, it’s going to blow up in the mainstream.


Kendrick Lamar’s last two tracks put Drake’s career in the Celebrity RIP thread. Which is a win for us all.

All the people who trolled J Cole for stepping out of the beef early are now praising his wisdom.

I have zero interest in rap/hip-hop, but a good beef is always intriguing. I didn't listen to a single "song" from either party during this uproar, but have probably watched like 3+ hours of "react" videos and analysis/commentary from those who are in that industry or rap/hip-hop enthusiasts. Most folks seem to have predicted KL would win from the onset, and it appears so. Drake always seemed like an industry manufactured product to me.

With that said, if you put a gun to my head and told me to name one song from any of these dudes or I'd be executed, I'd just reach up with my finger and pull the trigger for you.

I’ve always found these diss track things kind of childish and of zero interest to me.

But, I just watched a WikiWeekends video which went into some depth.

Given suspicions around Drake and his regular befriending of young actors and artists? You do have to wonder. It is possible he’s just been avuncular with them, offering a supportive adult role, having apparently been a child star himself.

But we don’t live in a world where we really see that sort of thing happening.

Out with the Rap Beef and in with Archeology Beef!

Watched the Flint Dibble/Graham Hancock debate on Joe Rogan’s podcast about lost civilizations. Flint Dibble is a legit archeologist and really went to town displaying evidence/data refuting Grahams lost Ice Age civilization hypothesis.

It was the first that I’ve seen of Graham Hancock being put on the spot like that and I think he got exposed, badly. He had some points about some areas needing more archeological scrutiny, but he flat out admitted there was no evidence of a lost civilization. And seeing other archeologists/historians pre-record video’s saying what Graham gets wrong on certain subjects must’ve been hard for him to take. It got pretty contentious at times, very passive aggressive, but was relatively professional. Rogan was a decent moderator. I’d assumed he’d be more partial to Graham because of their prior relationship, but he asked some questions that you could tell Graham was uneasy with.

I like Grahams stuff in the same way I like UFO’s and Bigfoot/Loch Ness stuff. Its fun to imagine and hypothesize, but once direct evidence is required, it falls apart.

Subscribed to Flint’s archeology Youtube page as a result.

Just rewatched the episode of Beast Wars I mentioned Code of Hero in an earlier post on DVD (I bought the box set years ago when I could barely afford it, which I'm glad about today) both the normal episode and the Commentary episode. It's always interesting to learn about how it works behind the scenes. What an excellent episode. One thing that amazes me is how expressive the animators made the characters be, despite limitations of technology at the time and how they're, you know, robots, lol. Mainframe were real pioneers of animation at the time, especially with Reboot.

Finished American Primeval last night. 6 episodes was perfect, didn't outstay its welcome and kept me engaged all the way through. Ending was somewhat predictable but not in a bad way at all. Solid performances, well written, nicely shot and a part of American history that I didn't really know about.

I'm not usually a fan of Westerns but this was nicely done. I wouldn't say it's a hard watch because it ticks along at a solid pace but certainly deserving of it's mature audience rating.

Just started (re)watching the one season scifi show from the early 2000s called Threshold. I've had a soft spot for it for years but could never find it streaming on any service that I was on (or any period as of this week other than for purchase digitally)... but I found a bootleg version up on youtube with some wonky audio and am binging the season.

I've been watching Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, a series that I never got to see more than a handful of episodes back in the early 2000's due to either my work schedule not lining up when it was airing or not being able to find it at all. Some of the episodes I've seen so far seem quite derivative of other shows and films (e.g., the Consensus of Parts in season one seemed like a cheap Borg knockoff while the second season episode "All Too Human" is heavily inspired by 'The Matrix'). Once I complete the series, I'll give either Farscape or Babylon 5 another watch.

It (Andromeda) was a fun watch for the first couple seasons that I used to lovingly call Space Hercules but it jumped the shark with a season switchover somewhere near the end (final season?) where they were stuck on a planet IIRC. I'd post details but they're massive spoilers. Same thing kind of happened unfortunately with Earth Final Conflict...

Andromeda is definitely an odd one. Its high points are really solid. And let’s face it, it did a far better job of “so, now you’re in the future and everything has turned out horrible, time to put it back together again” than Discovery did.

But man does it have some real troughs. I find Tyr quite dull as a character, and he’s never really developed beyond being a Gruff Turbo Nutter. And it’s not the actor at fault.
