This is The Five, our weekday rundown of five things that we are passionate about, bring levity to our day or are truly inspirational.

Today in The Five, we are featuring an 8 minute and 46 second moment of silence for George Floyd, Gianna Floyd missing her daddy, the #8CANTWAIT hashtag, a tribute of lights and Facebook is still horrible.

ONE: 8 Minutes and 46 Seconds

Rest in power, George Floyd.

Rev. Sharpton asked attendees to observe an 8 min and 46 second long moment of silence — the time that Officer Derek Chauvin had his knee pressed into George Floyd’s neck. Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, and actress Tiffany Haddish joined him on stage. #GeorgeFloydMemorial pic.twitter.com/O1h6BOFFeu

FIVE: Your Daily Reminder that Facebook Is Horrible

Facebook is a broken, right-wing platform. This is the garbage that the @facebook algorithm force-feeds users every day while Mark pays lip service to free speech. https://t.co/AvXFzIEq28
