The Daily Beast: Nicki Minaj Sics Her Fans on Reporters.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/nicki-minaj-sics-her-fans-on-reporters?source=cheats&via=rss

yeah i'm pivoting from 'yet another misguided celebrity' to 'nasty fucking asshole' real quick re: Nicki

Google her husband

Nicki has always been an asshole

guess I should have always questioned the judgment of someone who is married to a sex offender though.

xpost I'm sure she is - I stopped paying attention to her after her first album so admittedly I missed al ot of it.

Her 'Personal life' section on wikipedia is A Lot. Don't think I knew her Dad was killed in a hit and run back in February.

If only his balls were smaller he'd have gotten out of the way.

maybe we should consider the tragic death of someone's dad less than a year ago off limits for dunks, I dunno

it's been abundantly clear for years now that she is pretty awful

i'm sorry about her dad tho

I’m here for giant testicle jokes not dead dad zings thank you

stating a fact (that her father was killed) is not a "dunk"

I apologize. I do not in fact know the size of Nicki Minaj's dad's testicles at the time of his death.

How about if someone's father died from Scrotal lymphedema?

(Protip: Don't Google that.)

which I thought was in poor taste, covidiocy notwithstanding

[to the tune of Starships]

The vaccine
Will make your balls big

Boom badoom boom, boom badoom boom
He got the swollen balls

i feel like we’re just a cycle away from nicki blaming ambien

oh . my . god . look . at his balls

My anaconda don't, my anaconda don't
My anaconda don't want none unless you got balls, son

Supersized nuts in the conference room!

I wanna suck on some of that !

Yeah, my scrotum’s so tall that my Barbies gotta climb it

Real roffles at “Omg look at his balls” over here 👏

Oh wow just remembered that guy on Muni letting it ALL hang out one Bay to Breakers. I really think he had a medical condition, his testicles were so gigantic and turgid. He was quite proud to show them to the world tho..

Aphex Twin of all people selling $41 face masks is very funny: https://aphextwin.warp.net/release/119346-aphex-twin-ventolin-face-mask

Ever the opportunist. Did he ever say anything other than those weird links on his Soundcloud for a while?

Pretty sure those masks were for sale two years before Covid

yeah, i looked it up and Frank Ocean wore them pre-pandemic but still, it's very funny that him of all people would be selling masks, regardless of when they went on sale

Selected Masks 85-92

lol

I can't see the funny side tbh.

Covidiot adjacent, I guess but ... Coachella reportedly just *reversed* its vaccination requirement, which is super weird, because it was already sold out.

https://variety.com/2021/music/news/coachella-reverses-vaccination-1235087567/

Yeah, I was shocked to see that move. Really unexpected.

I honestly don't get it. They didn't have to sell tickets; it was sold out. It's an AEG show, but iirc AEG requires vaccines. And it's in California, which has been pretty strict about stuff. Even the Coachella website still says "We will be requiring all attendees and staff to provide proof of full vaccination for entry into our owned & operated venues unless medically or religiously exempt." So why change now? Maybe a headliner refuses to get vaccinated? Maybe it was a mistake?

Maybe Kyrie wants to come

I'm not going, but I have tickets to a show in March, and if this happened there, I definitely wouldn't go unless the state of the pandemic drastically changes. That could happen but since the holdouts are mainly down to antivax morons, it's tough to say.

It's frustrating watching all of these sensible, hard line mandates and requirements evaporate when they encounter any kind of resistance.

What was the resistance wrt Coachella?

Oh I don't know anything specific, but something clearly motivated the change. My suspicion is that one or more big name headliners refused.

Someone thweatened to hold their bweath until daddy bought them an ice cweam afaict

Unless these headliners have degrees in epidemiology, they should shut the fuck up and get a goddamn jab.

I mean, I hate festival culture and Coachella in particular, but still.

FWIW, Goldenvoice also made the same change for Stagecoach; so the weird reversal may not be related to a Coachella headliner raising a stink.
