Seniors get sprayed down by sprinklers at graduation ceremony!

imagine going through all of this, finally getting to graduate high school, and then getting sprayed down by the football fields sprinkler system at your graduation ceremony.

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)!

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.

Johnniqua Charles is just happy that people enjoy the video and that it has done some good during these times.

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.

This may help stop the spread of misinformation from malicious fake news sources.

Is this a good idea? Or do you want to keep retweeting as you please whether or not you read something.
