‘Wi-Fi’ is not an acronym. It doesn’t stand for anything.

Also! Since it’s a trademarked term, it should be written as ‘Wi-Fi’ (not ‘wifi’ or ‘WiFi’).

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.

It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

By June 1, 1921, the Tulsa Race Massacre had left behind the devastation of a deliberate assault on Black life, Black excellence, and Black progress.

Too often in this nation, Black advancement has been met with backlash, violence, erasure, and policy designed to pull back what had been gained. We saw it after Reconstruction, when Black civic participation was answered with terror, disenfranchisement, and the rise of Jim Crow. We saw it in places like Colfax, Wilmington, Elaine, and Tulsa. And 105 years later, we still see echoes of that pattern when voting rights are weakened, DEI is dismantled, truth is resisted, and efforts to widen opportunity are attacked.

Remembering June 1, 1921 also means telling the truth about what comes after progress in America. It means staying vigilant, organized, and unwilling to let backlash have the final word.

What do they mean by "Black performers"?

[Blackish Press @blackishpress]

UK theatre company Gillian Banks Creative Productions has canceled its DREAMGIRLS production after rights holders pulled permission over the predominantly white principal cast.

Rights now explicitly require Black performers for the lead roles to honor the show's Black music history roots.

Kathleen Thomas was issued a citation in February after a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled her over for allegedly using a phone with her right hand. But Thomas doesn't have a right hand. This week, the officer requested that the citation be dismissed.

[Variety @Variety]

Jeff Ross reveals who he wants to put in the hot seat next after "The Roast of Kevin Hart":

"A pop star or a rock star would be great. A rapper would be great. I could see Drake getting roasted and being a great one. One of my all-time favorite ideas is Stevie Wonder. I always say 'The Roast of Stevie Wonder: You’ve got to hear it to believe it.'"
