BKFC confirmed MMA journalist Chris Taylor’s earlier report that the main event will be Mike Perry vs. Julian Lane.

But something about the way the accounts spoke didn’t seem quite right. They tweeted like people doing bad impressions of Black women, saying ridiculous things and mangling basic elements of African American Vernacular English. “Obviously racist word salad,” was how internet activist Shafiqah Hudson described it this summer in an episode of my podcast about internet culture and marginalized voices. She was right. The accounts were just pretending to be Black women in an attempt to spread confusion and mistrust in Black online communities, and to foment racial animosity in American society....

Though the tech is bleeding edge, the price has slowly come down over the past few years, with this year’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 available at just £949/$999 – the first foldable to drop below a grand. While that’s a tempting enough price for such an impressive smartphone, it’s even cheaper as part of various Black Friday deals. If you do want more storage, the £150 discount also applies to the top-end 256GB model, bringing the price down from £999 to just £849, and it’s available on all four finishes too....

The path to racial comity turned rockier in 1991. Hard times have a way of hardening hearts and heads. Shut-out minorities demanded more. And many whites felt it was time to say, enough. This year, everyone seemed to consider himself a victim. Launching his bid for the White House, Nazi turned Republican David Duke displayed his presidential timber when explaining his overseas trade policy: “We must go to the Japanese and say ‘You no buy our rice, we no buy your cars’....

N’ganga Makhosi, a Los Angeles practitioner of the tradition known as hoodoo, recently spoke out about Hollywood’s portrayal of her craft and that of Black witches in general. Hoodoo, similar but not identical to the arguably more widely known practice of voodoo, focuses on the health of the human spirit. It is heavily tied to the ideas of community, rebellion, and looking to one’s ancestors for their aid in desperate times....

The sheer variety of animal species in Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of its praiseworthy qualities, allowing gamers to test their hunting abilities.

The authors of the research, published in the journal Nature Communications, identified particles from the sooty black substance on the fetal side of the placentas they studied. This lead them to conclude black carbon can likely travel from the mother’s lungs to the organ—which acts as a barrier between the mother and fetus during pregnancy. Substances like alcohol are already known to pass through the placenta. Black carbon is given off by fossil fuel-burning sources like vehicles that use gas and diesel, and coal-fired power stations....

Young is currently nominated for deputy director of the budget office, but now that President Biden’s initial pick, Neera Tanden, has bowed out because of an unlikely confirmation, big names in the Democratic Party are throwing their support behind Young.

And while it’s almost eight years later, his eyes still light up with the memories — of skating in Game 7 at the Bruins’ arena, TD Garden; of burying the rebound of a Mike Knuble shot past Tim Thomas; of celebrating with pure and utter jubilation. Those memories, though, are clouded by what happened after. “People wanted me dead for the color of my skin,” he said of tweets that appeared on social media soon after....
