15% Off Your First Order of Fresh-Roasted Pods
Most K-Cups sit in a warehouse for months before they reach your brewer — and you can taste it. Angelino's, a third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, does it differently: every pod is roasted, ground, and sealed fresh in-house, then shipped to your door within days of roasting.
Choose from 50+ specialty coffees — single origins, dark roasts, flavored favorites like Jamaican Me Crazy, plus decafs and teas — all compatible with your Keurig® brewer. Mix and match any coffees you like, and watch the savings climb: bulk discounts start at 5+ boxes and reach up to 34% off at 12+.
And here's the best part: new customers get an extra 15% off their first order, on top of bulk savings. It's applied automatically at checkout — no code, no subscription required. Free shipping on orders over $49 or 4+ boxes.
Fresh coffee shouldn't require a coffee shop.

❖ The Gripe ❖
A Personal Affront, Reported Faithfully
Amazon has a hundred and five little cars driving people around with nobody in the driver's seat, and one of them came up on a fire, got a face full of smoke, panicked, slammed on the brakes, and sat there until a person miles away reached in and backed it out. So they fixed it. They sent all one hundred and five cars a software update, the way you patch a phone. I have been driving for fifty years. I signal, I check my mirrors, I get honked at for doing the actual speed limit. The robot panics at a little smoke and gets a patch and a fresh start. If I froze at a green light once, I would hear about it for a month.
❖ The Damage Report ❖
Today's News, Ranked By How Much It Ruined My Mood
🔥 Most Enraging
Amazon's cloud service had a bug this week that told some customers they owed billions of dollars. One man opened his bill and it said two and a half billion. No money actually moved, they say, just the number on the screen having an episode. Still, somewhere a person looked at a bill for two and a half billion dollars and had to sit down. I get that exact feeling opening the power bill in August, and mine is a real number.
😩 Most Exhausting
Some researchers turned an AI loose on two and a half million cancer studies and it flagged more than a quarter of a million of them as probably fake, the kind churned out by outfits that sell a finished paper with your name already on it. They say a flag is not proof. But the share went from one in a hundred to one in six in twenty years. That is the field that is supposed to be saving us, and a sixth of its homework may be copied.
😤 Unreasonably Annoying
Scientists at Cambridge tested thirty-nine of the sweeteners they put in everything now and found about three in four of them mess with the bacteria in your gut, especially mixed with certain medications. They say this was in a lab, not proof of anything in a person. So the fake sugar might be rearranging your insides, or it might not, and they will get back to me in a decade. I switched to the pink packets years ago to be responsible. Apparently that was its own decision.
🤷 Somehow Also Happening
A black bear in Colorado climbed into a family's backyard kiddie pool and sat there cooling off. The woman had filled it for her dogs and said she was glad the bear got a turn. The state says they are coming down more this year because of the drought. So a bear found the best seat in the yard, one it does not pay for, and settled in. I have a chair I bought on purpose and have never once looked that content in it.
❖ And Some Other Stuff ❖
Briefly, And With Limited Enthusiasm
▸
Seattle's round raccoon Jimothy becomes a viral star — A raccoon in Seattle has gone viral because a short spine gave it a round, neckless, ball-shaped look, and somebody filmed it coming out from under a car and named it Jimothy. The internet is in love. A raccoon that is shaped wrong is now famous, and I have been shaped wrong for thirty years with nothing to show for it. Nobody has ever filmed me getting out of a car and called it charming.

A man used a plunger to pop 60 balloons for a Guinness World Record — A man in Germany took a Guinness record by popping sixty balloons in thirty seconds with a toilet plunger, beating the old record of twenty-three. He says he has always loved a good balloon record. There is a person out there whose particular gift is a plunger, and he has aimed his whole life squarely at it. I own a plunger. I have used it for exactly one thing, and it was not a celebration.

An ancient sea worm has 'bio-metal' jaws unlike anything scientists have seen — Scientists looked at a sea worm and found its jaws are made of something they had never catalogued, proteins laced with metal, hard as the real thing but not quite it, so they had to invent a new name for the stuff. A worm has better teeth than most of the metal in my garage. I have a wrench that rusted solid in a drawer, and this thing has been out-engineering me on the ocean floor with its mouth.
I'll be here tomorrow. Unfortunately.
