DaBaby is continuing to reap the consequences of his homophobic outburst as yet another major music festival has removed the scorned rapper from its lineup. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The organizers of NYC's forthcoming Governors Ball released a statement condemning “hate or discrimination of any kind,” along with an updated roster excluding the artist.

Shortly after, DaBaby issued a second, lengthier apology for his behavior. latimes.com/entertainment-…
DaBaby was previously dropped from the United Kingdom’s upcoming Parklife festival, as well as #Lollapalooza this past weekend, after unleashing an offensive rant about gay people and HIV/AIDS last month at Miami’s Rolling Loud. latimes.com/entertainment-…
In his initial response to the growing backlash, he doubled down on his comments and insisted that his words had been “twisted.”

The rapper’s misconduct also drew public criticism from several of his industry peers, including Elton John, Madonna and Dua Lipa. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Medical device manufacturers and drugmakers must report their payments to doctors.

But physicians aren't required to inform their patients of those relationships, which can create conflicts of interest.

Wendy Knecht is trying to change that.
Thread 👇 latimes.com/california/sto…
After her mother died of breast cancer, Knecht had a double mastectomy to reduce her risk.

Her breast reconstruction surgery left her with nerve damage and in chronic pain. It also led to a malpractice lawsuit and two complaints to the California Medical Board. Image
Knecht’s lawsuit contended that her doctor's pushing of a device and his failure to inform her of its “off-label” use was driven by his financial relationship with its maker, which federal records show had paid him more than $400,000 to research and promote it. Image

It's got all the makings of a hit reality show: broken partnerships, fierce competition and (of course) the beach.

But in this Olympic sport, the breakups and hushed alliances take place off the camera.

latimes.com/sports/olympic…
Nothing lasts in beach volleyball, especially partnerships. Players get hurt. They retire.

Maybe one realizes they can do better with somebody else.

Such are the distinct challenges of being on a team with just two members.

latimes.com/sports/olympic…
The intrigue of tapping a new partner has gotten easier in the digital age. Before athletes could text one another, they would have to covertly make their alliances after games.

The breakup calls often were made the following Monday mornings.

As California begins to return to fully reopened school campuses this month, the state’s mandatory mask rule will continue to be part of the new normal for all K-12 schools amid the COVID-19 surge fueled by the highly transmissible Delta variant.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
Many students say they are largely over the latest COVID rule.

But, they have adjusted to the discomfort and would much rather be in school with their friends than at home on a computer.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
Although the mandate has drawn resistance in some areas from parents who are advocating for “mask choice,” for many students it appears the transition to masks in schools has been smooth.
