The Keurig that makes iced coffee is 32% off before Prime Day
There are two kinds of coffee people in this world: those who wake up chipper and full of purpose, and those who need to be left alone until the mug hits their hand. I am, pretty violently, the latter. I have a coffee setup that matches my lifestyle — unpredictable, inconsistent, and deeply reliant on whether I remember to use a filter. But today, this day before Prime Day 2025, I met the Keurig K-Duo Hot & Iced Single Serve & Carafe Coffee Maker.
Right now, it's 32% off in a flash sale. If you're not already a Prime member, you can sign up for a free trial and get access to all the early Amazon Prime Day deals — and this one is worth snagging while it lasts. I promise, this thing will make your mornings (and your guests') infinitely smoother. Iced coffee girlies and hot brew traditionalists alike will be satisfied.
What sold me was the duality. Iced coffee in July? Handled. A full carafe for a brunch hang with the girls? Handled. A single K-Cup of pumpkin spice on a moody fall morning? Yes. This isn't just a coffee maker, it's a choose-your-own-adventure machine with enough versatility to met the needs of your seasonal mood disorder.

The Keurig K-Duo is a sleek little powerhouse that brews both single-serve K-Cups and full 12-cup carafes of ground coffee, hot or iced, depending on your mood or guest list. It features a strong brew button for extra kick, an automatic pause-and-pour function for impatient sippers, and a 60 oz. removable reservoir that makes refills less frequent.
The icing feature doesn't just water down hot coffee over cubes, it actually optimizes strength for a proper iced brew. Whether you're running late or hosting brunch, it's got you covered in under a minute. Oh, and did I mention it looks good on your countertop?

Amazon CEO wants to put ads in your Alexa+ conversations
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sees an opportunity to deliver ads to users during their conversations with the company's AI-powered digital assistant, Alexa+, he said during Amazon's second-quarter earnings call Thursday. 'People are excited about the devices that they can buy from us that has Alexa+ enabled in it. People do a lot of shopping [with Alexa+]; it's a delightful shopping experience that will keep getting better,' said Jassy on the call with investors and Wall Street analysts. 'I think over time, there will be opportunities, as people are engaging in more multi-turn conversations, to have advertising play a role to help people find discovery, and also as a lever to drive revenue.' Amazon says it has rolled out Alexa+ to millions of customers, part of an effort to make its legacy digital assistant capable of agentic behaviors and more natural to talk to. Alexa+ is Amazon's answer to generative AI voice assistants from OpenAI, Google, and Perplexity that have made legacy systems feel outdated. However, the business models behind generative AI products remain unclear. Amazon has made Alexa+ free for Prime customers (who pay $14.99 a month) and added a $20-a-month subscription tier for Alexa+ on its own. Jassy suggested on Thursday that Alexa+ could eventually include subscription tiers beyond what's available today — perhaps an ad-free tier. Up until now, ads have only appeared in Alexa in limited ways. Users may occasionally see a visual ad on Amazon's smart display device, the Echo Show, or hear a pre-recorded ad in between songs on one of Alexa's smart speakers. But Jassy's description of an AI-generated ad that Alexa+ delivers in a multistep conversation, which could help users find new products, is uncharted territory for Amazon and the broader tech industry. Marketers have expressed interest in advertising in AI chatbots, and specifically Alexa+, but exactly how remains unclear. Amazon's competitors in the AI space seem to think advertising is a promising business model for generative AI, too. Google is exploring how to infuse ads into its AI-powered search experience, AI mode. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he's open to a 'tasteful' form of advertising in ChatGPT. Amazon is spending a fortune to catch up in the AI race. In the second quarter of 2025, Amazon's capital expenditures rose to $31.4 billion, up 90% from the same period last year. A large part of that increased spending is to develop Amazon's in-house AI chips and build out data centers to support AI models. While the revenue of Amazon's cloud business, AWS, grew 18% in the second quarter, the company likely needs to generate new business to pay for these investments. Jassy is betting that users will talk to Alexa+ more than Alexa, which could drive more advertising and more shopping on However, early reviews of Alexa+ have been mixed. Amazon has reportedly struggled to ship some of Alexa+'s more complicated features, and the rollout has been slower than many expected. There's a lot to figure out before Amazon puts ads in Alexa+. Like most AI models, Alexa+ is not immune to hallucinations. Before advertisers agree to make Alexa+ a spokesperson for their products, Amazon may have to come up with some ways to ensure that its AI will not offer false advertising for a product. Jassy seems enthusiastic about making advertising a larger part of Amazon business. Amazon's advertising revenue went up 22% in the second quarter, compared to the same period last year. Delivering ads in AI chatbot conversations may also raise privacy concerns. People tend to talk more with AI chatbots compared to deterministic assistants, like the traditional Alexa and Siri products. As a result, generative AI chatbots tend to collect more information on users. Some users might be unsettled by having that information sold to advertisers and having ads appear in their natural language conversations with AI. Sign in to access your portfolio

Daily Journal Corporation Provides Additional Public Access to its Recent Form 8-K
Contact: Jessica Marshall (778)716-6706 LOS ANGELES, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Daily Journal Corporation is issuing this press release to provide additional public access to the Form 8-K it filed earlier this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission in response to the incredible interest in our software accounting expressed by Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc. and its Chairman and CEO, Alexander E. Parker. Below is the text of our Form 8-K. You can also visit our website at for copies of Mr. Parker's correspondence. Item 8.01 Other Events. Two weeks ago, we received a letter from Alexander E. Parker at a firm called Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc. The letter said Daily Journal Corporation (the 'Company') should be capitalizing software development costs instead of expensing them under GAAP, and that doing so would 'unlock $160+ million in incremental equity value' for shareholders. Mr. Parker then asked for a consulting engagement that would pay him $24 million worth of Company equity if the stock price increased by that amount for any reason (i.e., $.15 of every dollar), and he asked for two seats on the Company's Board of Directors. His initial July 14 letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1, and his follow-up letter dated July 18 (demanding an emergency Board meeting) is attached as Exhibit 99.2. According to the SEC's website, neither Mr. Parker nor Buxton Helmsley is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC. The Buxton Helmsley website says that Mr. Parker is licensed by FINRA, but according to the FINRA website, he is not registered as a broker or investment adviser. His LinkedIn page says that Mr. Parker attended Mercy University from 2014 to 2016. Mr. Parker seems to fancy himself a whistleblower, but the Company has been disclosing its practice of expensing software development costs and the reasons for that in its public filings for more than a decade. Nothing is hidden. The Company is well aware of the accounting rules under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, and those rules require a continuous facts-and-circumstances analysis. The Company believes the accounting for its eSeries® product line development efforts is, and has been, correct. Furthermore, the Company's approach has been reviewed as part of the annual audit without issue by three different national accounting firms since those development efforts began. Mr. Parker is right that if the Company capitalized those costs, it would boost near-term earnings and asset values by reducing the Company's expenses and shifting them to the balance sheet. Anyone who knew our longtime Chairman, Charles T. Munger, knows what his thoughts would have been on the idea of 'creating value' through accounting. Nonetheless, the Board and its Audit Committee decided to take this opportunity to engage an independent accounting consultant to make sure the Company is accounting for software development costs correctly. And that's when Mr. Parker's game became clear. On July 23, one day after being informed of the decision to engage an independent accounting firm rather than Buxton Helmsley, Mr. Parker fired back a letter saying that only Buxton Helmsley was qualified to 'restore trust' while at the same time notifying us that he was reporting the Company to the Enforcement Division of the SEC. That letter is attached as Exhibit 99.3. You should read it. We suspect Mr. Parker will learn with age and experience that few people want to work with someone who presents himself this way. Even fewer want to work with someone who reports them to the government when he doesn't get what he wants! Also, we've already reached out to the SEC staff and have offered to discuss with them the Company's software development accounting and/or Mr. Parker, should they so desire. Finally, we are attaching an email chain with Mr. Parker as Exhibit 99.4, and Mr. Parker's fourth letter, this one dated July 25, as Exhibit 99.5. This most recent letter is addressed to Company stockholders and calls for the immediate resignation of both the Company's CEO and its CFO. Remember, all that's happened here is that the Company's Audit Committee decided to engage an independent accounting consultant instead of him! After considering Mr. Parker's analysis, his demand for equity compensation and his threats should the Company challenge him (see page 5 of the July 23 letter in particular), we suspect Company shareholders will agree that the Audit Committee made a prescient and wise decision in not 'partnering' with Mr. Parker. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. (d) Exhibits 99.1 Letter from Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc., dated July 14, 2025. 99.2 Letter from Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc., dated July 18, 2025. 99.3 Letter from Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc., dated July 23, 2025. 99.4 Various correspondence Alexander E. Parker between July 14 and July 23, 2025. 99.5 Letter from Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc., dated July 25, 2025. 104 Cover Page Interactive Data File (embedded within the Inline XBRL document) # Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with GlobeNewswire.

MTA project to modernize subway line could be millions over budget and years late: report
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will end up $91 million over budget on a project to modernize a portion of the subway system, a new report said — but officials said everything's going to plan even though it may be years behind schedule. The project for the crosstown train, or G line, could be as much as two years behind schedule as the beleaguered Big Apple transit system works to upgrade its signal system across numerous routes that even include newer trains. The latest 5G technology for the communication-based train control (CBTC) would provide faster and more dependable service, MTA officials have said – as riders face a possible fare hike next year. Advertisement 3 The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is a whopping $77 million over budget to modernize a crucial subway line, an independent agency insisted this week — as the technology on newer trains is already becoming useless. Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post 'Not every project that we've done in the last five years has been on time and on budget,' MTA chief Janno Lieber said during a press conference Wednesday about the possible additional expenses and delays. Costs attached to the G line could balloon to as high as $715 million instead of the $624 million pegged by the MTA, an independent engineering consultant stated in a report delivered to the MTA board Monday. Advertisement But that estimation from the IEC is in sharp contrast with the MTA's own internal projections, which still has it running on budget. The F line in Brooklyn is expected to overrun costs by $22 million while the Queens Boulevard line could blow roughly $28 million past budget, according to the report. But the MTA stated it believes those projects are either under budget or in line with the spending plan, when using its own projections. 3 The plan to revolutionize the G line is currently two years behind schedule. Robert Miller Advertisement The independent consultant also stated all of the revamped lines won't be wrapped up on schedule. The G line could be done by 2029 instead of 2027 with MTA construction head Jamie Torres-Springer stating any extended timeline can be attributed to the CBTC technology that needs to replace 4G tech that are even on newer trains. 'While all of the physical work to outfit the G train is going smoothly and is on time, a new technology that we need to adopt for CBTC across all of our subway lines,' he said, 'not just for the G train, but starting with the G train, it's a 5G radio that would be on subway cars to replace obsolete radio equipment, and that will take longer than the work that we're doing on the G itself.' 3 MTA officials said that with 5G technology for the communication-based train control (CBTC), it should result in faster and more reliable services for subway lines such as the G and other train lines across the system. Annie Wermiel / NYPost Advertisement Work on the G line has led to some travel headaches for commuters this summer after disruptions were even worse last year, though further outages were not expected to handle the signal swap, Torres-Springer. The F line in Brooklyn would be done by September 2025 – three years later than the initial completion date while the A, C, E lines on Eighth Avenue will be finished by 2027 and the Queens Blvd line won't be done before 2028 – that would make both projects two-years late, according to the report. Lieber, in his Wednesday press conference, said the agency was not shying away from the delays while stressing the pushing out the projects will lead to more benefits. 'But we own every time we run late or we run over budget, we'll always highlight the fact that we've made a lot of progress on big projects on that,' the MTA chief said in response to the independent report. 'And we will continue to push forward on these projects that are really important. And you see, we funded a lot more signal work in the coming capital plan.'
