here's the video in honor of tonight's Tony Awards lol

We were absolutely floored by the millions of you that watched us make silly water sillouettes on our driveway last summer. We are starting out the summer the only way we know how, and this time it’s all about movies! What else do you want to see? We have a whole summer ahead, a driveway and a hose. The possibilities are endless!!!

Reminder for all young parents:

You only get:
- 1 Summer with your baby
- 3 with your toddler
- 9 with your child
- 5 with your teenager

This time is precious. Don’t rush it.

I've never been at a medical conference where the results have been greeted with a standing ovation

Tremendous breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment

Through science

Hard work, rigorous research, clinical trials.

Science

Not the quack pseudoscience of social media

You can crash your yard's mosquito population without spraying a single chemical with a Mosquito Bucket of Doom.

Fill a 5-gallon bucket about two-thirds with water. Drop in a handful of grass clippings, leaves, or hay. Let it sit for a day, then drop in a Bti dunk (also called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, sold at any hardware store as "mosquito dunks," about $10 for six).

Mosquitoes are powerfully attracted to fermenting water and will lay their eggs in your bucket. Bti is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces a toxin that kills mosquito, blackfly, and fungus gnat larvae only.

This method doesn't harm bees, butterflies, fireflies, fish, frogs, birds, pets, or people. BTI dunks are EPA-approved for organic use and safe in animal water troughs and birdbaths.

One dunk lasts about 30 days. Top off the water as it evaporates. Cover with 1/2-in Mesh Hardware Cloth to prevent animals from getting trapped and put the bucket somewhere shady where pets and kids won't get into it.

The bucket becomes a mosquito magnet and a dead end. Compare that to fogging the entire yard with pyrethroids, which kills every insect in it, including the predators that eat mosquitoes.

Doug Tallamy's Homegrown National Park has been running the "Mosquito Bucket Challenge" since 2021. The more buckets in a neighborhood, the bigger the dent. One bucket per yard is a great start.

The image depicts Katherine Cathey, the pregnant widow of U.S. Marine 2nd Lt. James “Jim” Cathey, lying on an air mattress on the floor in front of her husband’s flag-draped casket the night before his burial. A Marine honor guard stands vigil in the background.

Jim Cathey was tragically killed in action in Iraq in August 2005. Overcome with grief, Katherine refused to leave her husband’s casket. She requested to spend one final night with him. Two Marines went to great lengths to provide her with a makeshift bed, using a mattress and pillows on the floor. One Marine stood guard over her and the casket throughout the night.

This powerful and Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph was captured by Todd Heisler in 2005 as part of his series “Jim Comes Home” for the Rocky Mountain News.

Seattle might secretly have one of the best pizza scenes in America right now.

Here are Seattle’s Top 7 pizza spots right now👇

A.K. Pizza (South Seattle)
Only 60 pizzas a day. Preorders sell out in seconds. Nearly 7,000 people signed up just for text alerts. Seattle might have its first true cult pizza place.

Sinners Pizza (U District)
People are arguing this is the best NY slice in Seattle right now. Open late, packed almost every night, and the Hellfire pie is becoming a city challenge 🌶️

Pizza by Ruffin (SLU)
Washington’s first Black-owned pizzeria serving Roman-style pizza inspired by the Black diaspora. One of the most unique pizza spots in the city.

Cornelly (Capitol Hill + Queen Anne)
The Hornet Honey pizza changed lives. Long lines turned into a second location. Somehow still underrated.
Stevie’s Famous (Burien + Beacon Hill)
Foldable NY slices done right. South Seattle has been gatekeeping this one for years

Post Alley Pizza (Downtown)
Hidden behind Pike Place inside a parking garage since 1997. No marketing. No hype. Just elite slices.

Rocco’s (Belltown)
Huge slices, loaded pies, and one of the most talked-about pizza spots in Seattle. Not cheap, but people swear it’s worth it.

Alright Seattle… what spot got robbed? 🍕 #seattle
