If you're fortunate enough to have nice weather, take advantage of it and enjoy the outside.  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 275 articles, 9 podcasts, 10 press releases, 337 tweets, and 10 YouTube videos 1. All-Virtual E3 2021 Event Set for June E3 will return this year as a "reimagined, all-virtual" event, with Nintendo, Xbox, Capcom, Ubisoft, and more set to make appearances. If you miss the physical, in-person event, don't worry, because there are also plans for a more tangible E3 in 2022. But who can even think that far ahead right now? 2. Yahoo Answers Will Shut Down in May Yahoo Answers, home to thousands of questions and answers of all kinds, will shut down May 4. A notice posted at the top of its homepage also revealed Yahoo Answers will go into read-only mode on April 20, so get your Q&As in while you can. 3.
