Beat the heat! Get 30% off these reusable water balloons
You know what's out this summer? Picking up torn balloon fragments before the dog does, wildlife choking on plastic bits, and the soul-crushing feeling of having to yell, 'Wait! Don't throw it yet, I'm still tying mine!'
What's in? Reusable water balloons. Specifically, the Smirodi Reusable Water Balloons, which are 30% off on Amazon right now and destined to become the MVPs of your cul-de-sac's chaos.

The best part? They work for kids, sure, but also for adults with some unprocessed rage, friend groups on some tequila, or couples who need a new way to battle it out for the remote. They're colorful, clever, and low-stakes in the way all summer toys should be. And the fact that they're reusable? Let's just say that's the kind of 'growth' your therapist would be proud of.

Netanyahu's son claims Joe Rogan refused to have father on his show: ‘Years of antisemitic propaganda'
Benjamin Netanyahu's eldest son on Friday claimed Joe Rogan refused to host the Israeli prime minister on his show and has promoted 'years of antisemitic propaganda.' Yair Netanyahu, 33, took aim at the popular podcaster after Rogan gushed over scandal-ridden Hunter Biden, arguing he could be president. 'Great wake up call for conservatives to remember Joe Rogan is not a conservative,' Netanyahu's son wrote in a post on X. Advertisement 4 Joe Rogan hosting his podcast 'The Joe Rogan Experience.' PowerfulJRE/Youtube 'He gave platform to every single neo Nazi antisemite on this plant (sic), but he refuse to have my father on his show, because he knows that he doesn't stand a chance against him, and all those years of antisemitic propaganda will go to waste.' Representatives for Rogan did not immediately respond to The Post's requests for comment. Advertisement On Wednesday's episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, Rogan had played a clip from Biden's bizarre interview with 'Channel 5' host Andrew Callaghan, when the former president's son discussed his illegal drug use. 'He's smarter than his dad when his dad was young,' Rogan said of Hunter. 'And he could be president. How about that?' 4 Yair Netanyahu slammed Joe Rogan in a social media post Friday. @YairNetanyahu/X Advertisement Yair Netanyahu, a onetime podcaster himself, was quick to call out Rogan's comments as proof that he isn't a true conservative and accused the host of platforming antisemitism. Rogan has found himself in hot water on the subject several times over the years. Most recently, Rogan faced backlash after he hosted Darryl Cooper on his podcast earlier this year. 4 Yair Netanyahu and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. AP Advertisement The self-styled historian has been accused of Holocaust revisionism and downplaying Nazi crimes. Rogan brushed off his critics as 'paranoid' Jews. In 2023, Rogan made a jab on his podcast about Jews being 'into money.' 'The idea that Jewish people are not into money, that's ridiculous. That's like saying Italians aren't into pizza. It's f—ing stupid,' he said. 4 President Trump and Yair Netanyahu. @YairNetanyahu/X Yair Netanyahu, who is known for coming to his father's defense online, has his own fair share of controversies. His Facebook account was slapped with a 24-hour ban in 2018 following a series of anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian posts. 'Do you know where there are no attacks, in Iceland and Japan. That's because there are no Muslims,' he wrote in one post. Advertisement In another, he wrote: 'There will never be peace with the monsters in human form known since 1964 as 'Palestinians.'' Earlier that same year, the prime minster's son, then 26, was caught on video outside a Tel Aviv strip club drunkenly boasting about his father and making risqué comments about women.

Apryl Miller slashed $2M off the price of her colorful home
It turns out even a kaleidoscope can come with a markdown. Apryl Miller's technicolor Upper East Side apartment — an exuberant swirl of painted floors, bright tiles, geometric mosaics and custom Lucite-legged kitchen furniture — is back on the market with a new, lower price, The Post has learned. Now asking $6.75 million, the full-floor residence at 188 E. 76th St. was first listed last year for $8.75 million, before undergoing a recent $2 million price reduction, StreetEasy records show. Miller — an artist, poet and jewelry designer — purchased the 4,076-square-foot condo, spanning the entire 29th floor of the Siena tower, in 1998 with her former husband. 9 Apryl Miller's vividly colorful Upper East Side apartment is back on the market with a $2 million price cut, now listed for $6.75 million. instagram/aprylmillerart She later took full ownership in 2002 and spent the following decades transforming the space into what she has described as a 'very special home' for her daughters. 'Color is rejuvenating, and colors have souls,' Miller previously told the New York Times in an interview when the property was first listed. 'I didn't want white walls.' The result is more art installation than apartment. Every room is doused in saturated tones and custom finishes, from Jackson Pollock-style paint-splattered floors to vibrant tile work and swirls of inlaid carpet. Over the years, the apartment has been featured in the Netflix documentary series 'Amazing Interiors,' MTV's 'Teen Cribs,' 'Open House New York' tours and numerous design publications. 9 The artist, known for transforming the full-floor condo at 188 E. 76th St. into a living art installation, originally listed the property for $8.75 million in 2024. Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty 9 Color is rejuvenating, and colors have souls,' Miller told the New York Times, adding, 'I didn't want white walls.' Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty But the creative haven has outgrown its purpose. With her daughters now adults, Miller says the apartment, once bursting with art projects and floor picnics, is simply 'too big.' 'I always knew I couldn't keep it forever,' she told the outlet. 'It's an art installation. Art doesn't last forever.' Offered for the first time in 25 years, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom residence includes a private elevator landing, oversize windows, and panoramic views from Central Park to the East River. A 28-foot living room connects to a dining space and a library/media room, while a cerulean blue eat-in kitchen features geometric floors and a custom table designed with her children in mind. 9 Though the furnishings aren't included, they're available for purchase. Instagram/aprylmillerart 9 Over the years, the home has been featured in 'Amazing Interiors,' 'Teen Cribs' and 'Open House New York.' Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty 9 Spanning 4,076 square feet, the five-bedroom residence occupies the entire 29th floor of the Siena condominium and is defined by its riot of color — paint-splattered floors, hand-cut tiles, geometric inlays and Lucite-legged kitchen furniture — designed for her daughters. Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty 'My girls liked being underneath the table with their little toys,' Miller said of the Lucite-leg design. The primary bedroom suite is similarly dramatic, with two walk-in closets, a raised sitting area and a hand-tiled bath with skyline views. One of the additional bedrooms, once used as a stage for in-home concerts, is now an artist's studio. The apartment also once featured an installation known as the 'chair museum,' made up of Miller's sculptural furniture. 'Each one of the pieces tells a different story,' she told the Times, referencing the garments and textures that inspired them. 9 She purchased the apartment in 1998 with her former husband and raised her two daughters there, hosting 'floor picnics,' holiday parties and impromptu performances on a small stage built into one of the bedrooms. Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty 9 The sprawling unit includes a 28-foot living room, a cerulean eat-in kitchen, a primary suite with skyline views and sweeping vistas from every room. Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty 9 Now that her daughters are grown, Miller says the apartment is 'too big,' and she's ready to move on. Nathan Patrick Media for Sothebys International Realty Listing agents Eileen Foy and Ana Ozashvili of Compass are marketing the property, which occupies a rare full-floor layout in the Siena, a full-service white-glove condominium with a gym, a playroom, a furnished terrace and a 24-hour doorman. They did not return The Post's request for comment. The building is one of the few condos west of Third Avenue in Lenox Hill. Despite the price drop, the furnishings and art are not included — but are available for purchase separately. And while the next owner may not embrace the same Crayola-happy aesthetic, Miller says she's made her peace with that. 'I'm OK with having the whole place gutted,' she said. 'I know I'll be really sad when it's actually sold. I'll cry later.'
