The 411 on 5/20 420 in the 21st state
Illinois marijuana dispensaries saw weed flying off the shelves (or out of the cases) in May. Dispensaries took in over 44 million, which was more than 5 million over what sales were in January (the first month of legalization).
Of the $44.3m made in May, roughly 34 million were from state residents. The other 10.2 were from out-of-state buyers (shout out to our friends in Northwest Indiana and Kenosha!).
Comic-Con at Home: San Diego comes to us on July 22
The San Diego Comic-Con is the pop culture industry’s biggest annual event, drawing an international crowd to its panels, exclusives and community.
COVID-19 had other plans for Comic-Con this year, and the event (scheduled for 7/22-7/26) was canceled. In its place this year will be “Comic-Con@Home,” a virtual convention open to all. The digital conference will be held on the original event dates, and every aspect will be free to virtually attend.
So instead of camping out on a convention floor, we can all wait patiently in our homes for Marvel Studios’ annual reveals. Count us in for a “Shang-Chi” sneak preview (fingers crossed)!
This guy is addicted to wearing casts!
Have you ever broken a bone? Remember how annoying it was having to wear that clunky cast everywhere…

When Johnniqua Charles was detained by a security officer she broke into song and dance about how he was going to lose his job, and it is amazing.

Twitter to test new feature to help stop the sharing of fake news articles
Twitter is trying out some new software that will prompt users with a message before they retweet an article that they have not actually opened and read.
Sharing an article can spark conversation, so you may want to read it before you Tweet it.
To help promote informed discussion, we’re testing a new prompt on Android –– when you Retweet an article that you haven’t opened on Twitter, we may ask if you’d like to open it first.

Joe Exotic writes that his life is a living hell and the he is ‘dying in prison’
A letter was obtained by TMZ that was written by the tiger king himself, it has many people concerned.
Joe Exotic seems to be at the end of his rope while he and his legal team try to get him pardoned from his prison sentence.
Exotic starts off the letter by telling the President that the pandemic is over, so now he should focus on releasing him.
He also goes on to say that the prison is not giving him his prescribed medicine.
And maybe the worst claim, Joe exotic says that his newest husband Dillon has gone radio silent on him.

He claims he is writing Joe, he must not be getting the letters.
