Models have come into strong agreement on a heat wave in the DC area mid to late next week that will be unusually intense and dangerous.

Many spots could reach or surpass 100 degrees on multiple days, especially Thursday and Friday, which could flirt with the all-time record of 106.

It could remain uncomfortably hot into the July 4 holiday weekend.

It’s official. Toy Story 5 had the biggest domestic opening weekend gross of any movie so far in 2026, with a media reported $160 million. It’s the 7th different movie in the past three months to have a domestic opening gross above $75 million, which Toy Story 5 far exceeded.

As for AMC, in the U.S., we posted the highest attendance, highest ticket revenues and highest food & beverage revenues of any weekend so far in 2026.  

In all, 4.8 million guests visited our theatres globally Thursday to Sunday. 

We congratulate our friends at Disney and Pixar, as well as all the film makers behind Toy Story 5, for their delivering a theatrical event that clearly connected with audiences. Toy Story 5 scored a dazzling 94% from critics and 95% from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes.

And given our close dealings with Taylor Swift over the past several years, we also want to highlight and salute Taylor’s #1 chart-topping smash hit song, ‘I Knew It, I Knew You,’ which she wrote and performed for TOY STORY 5.

Movie after movie is doing so very well in theatres. With so many major releases coming to theatres across the entire summer, and especially so in July (led by Minions & Monsters, Moana, The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day), we have every confidence to expect that our momentum will continue.

ADHD is not "I don't want to do the task."

ADHD is "I desperately want to do the task, I know *how* to do the task, but my brain has a literal forcefield around the 'START' button."

It's not laziness. It's executive dysfunction paralysis. RT if you feel this.

🧠 An ADHD brain is not working improperly. It's wired differently.

A growing body od research shows ADHD comes with many overlooked advantages: an intense, impulsive drive to seek out new information — what is called "hypercuriosity."

Instead of viewing ADHD only as a disorder marked by distraction and impulsiveness, researchers are beginning to explore how those same traits might actually fuel curiosity and creativity.

Rather than being easily distracted, people with ADHD might be neurologically tuned to chase curiosity and uncover unexpected links. Studies suggest this curiosity and impulsivity share similar brain pathways, both light up reward centers in the brain, much like hunger or craving chocolate.

This drive to explore could have been useful in our evolutionary past, especially in unpredictable environments where risk-takers had an edge. In modern settings, though, it can be seen as disruptive, especially in classrooms and offices where sitting still and following rules is the norm.

Research shows people with ADHD often act like "busybodies" online, bouncing from topic to topic, but once they find something that excites them, they can hyperfocus like laser-focused "hunters." While this pattern seems messy, it often leads to creative thinking. The challenge is that modern education and work settings often try to suppress these behaviors with structure or medication, which may also suppress curiosity. That could mean we’re losing out on unique ways of thinking.

🧬 A newly discovered human species confirms it — our evolution wasn’t a straight line.

The remarkable discovery in Ethiopia is rewriting the story of human evolution.

Fossils unearthed at the Ledi-Geraru site in the Afar region reveal a previously unknown species of Australopithecus that lived about 2.8 million years ago — at the same time and in the same area as some of the earliest known members of the genus Homo.

The find, which includes 13 fossilized teeth from at least two individuals, shows distinct differences between the Australopithecus specimens and those of early humans, confirming that multiple hominin species coexisted rather than one simply evolving into the next.

This new evidence challenges the traditional “ladder” model of evolution and supports a more complex, branching view — a family tree full of overlapping species, each experimenting with different adaptations to East Africa’s shifting climate. Researchers describe this period as an “evolutionary testing ground,” where several versions of early humans evolved side by side before only one lineage ultimately survived. The newly identified Australopithecus species has yet to be formally named, but its discovery underscores that our ancestry wasn’t a straight march toward modernity — it was a tangled, fascinating web of possibilities.

One of the most difficult things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.
