Opens in a new window Credit: Audible Audible Standard $0.99/month for 3 months (save $8/month) Get DealIf you missed out on Audible's excellent Prime Day offer, a new deal just dropped as a consolation prize. It's not free this time around, but it's still a great offer (and one I took advantage of myself).
Through July 30, new and returning subscribers can score three months of Audible Standard for only 99 cents per month. Usually $8.99 per month, that's a total of $24 in savings.

Thanks for signing up!I don't think Audible's Standard tier is worth it at full price. The new plan, which launched in March, lets you select one audiobook each month for the full Audible collection. But unlike the Premium plan, you can't keep those titles if you cancel your subscription. Oh, and if you forget to select a book in the allotted time period one month, you basically forfeit that month entirely. So at the full cost of $8.99 per month, that hardly seems fair. Less than $3 total to "borrow" three premium audiobooks from Audible's expansive catalog, on the other hand, is a dang good deal.
Along with the three premium titles, you'll also get to enjoy unlimited Audible Originals and nearly 200 of the most popular titles from Wondery+. So you technically get more than just three audiobooks for 99 cents each month.
As I mentioned above, I took advantage of this three-month deal myself and plan on listening to the entire Wayward Pines trilogy during my promo period, then canceling. Pro tip: Set a calendar alert when you sign up to remind yourself to cancel before the promotional period ends. And remember, you need to finish listening before you cancel your subscription, or else you'll lose access forever.
Kick off your weekend with a BOGO deal on a dozen glazed donuts at Krispy Kreme
BOGO DEAL: For July 17 only, Krispy Kreme is offering a special birthday promotion. You can get a dozen glazed donuts for 89 cents with the purchase of any dozen donuts.

For today, however, you won't have to catch the donut shop at the opportune time to score a great deal. July 17 is Krispy Kreme's 89th birthday, and to celebrate, customers can get a dozen glazed donuts for just 89 cents with the purchase of any other dozen donuts. Come July 18, the deal is gone, so you'll want to make your way to a Krispy Kreme if you're intent on scoring the savings.
SEE ALSO: 7-Eleven and Hot Wheels just dropped an exclusive Nissan GT-R collectible — here's how to get itYou can order ahead online for pickup or delivery, and grab the deal by adding the special promotional option off the menu, and entering the code BDAY at checkout. When ordering online, you're limited to one discounted dozen. Customers who go in person to order at the counter or drive through can get up to two dozen of the 89 cent donuts.
While Krispy Kreme does offer special promos year round — just last month, you could grab one free donut and BOGO glazed dozen for $2 in honor of National Donut Day — but if you're trying to get as many donuts as possible, it's hard to beat this deal.

Tatiana Maslany breaks down Maximum Pleasure Guaranteeds courtroom finale
Throughout Season 1 of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Paula Sanders (Tatiana Maslany) has been through hell. She's been scammed and arrested. She's shot a man and become embroiled in a criminal conspiracy. And through it all, she's been enduring a nasty custody battle with her ex, Carl (Jake Johnson), over her daughter, Hazel (Nola Wallace).
SEE ALSO: 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed' review: The power of Tatiana Maslany makes this thriller a must-watchThat all comes to a head in Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed's Season 1 finale, which sees Paula and Carl officially go to court. Spoiler alert: Paula manages to keep custody of Hazel, but not before she's publicly chewed out for her transactions with cam boy Trevor (Brandon Flynn).
In a Say More interview with Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards, Maslany broke down the heated moment.
"Reading [the scene], I'm like, oh, Paula's in a situation where Carl would never be questioned for the affair he had, because his affair has landed him with a woman who has a lot of money and a good life," Maslany explained.
While Carl's affair has brought him stability, Paula's own sex life has "derailed" her, Maslany explained, putting her desires under the microscope.
"The impulse to seek out connection or sexual gratification — that's almost more on trial than anything else," Maslany said of the custody hearing. "It's a wonderful thing [for Paula] to be able to articulate, in sort of clumsy language, a retort to that, and that she doesn't just acquiesce [and say], 'Yes, I shouldn't have done that, and I'm bad, and I'll never do it again.'"
To hear more about Maslany's reaction to Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, and how she found the character of Paula, watch the full interview above.

Chipotle is giving away free entrées during the World Cup final — how to claim yours
TL;DR: Chipotle is giving away 100,000 free entrées during the 2026 World Cup final on July 19. During the match’s second hydration break, fans can watch a video on Chipotle’s Instagram, grab the code revealed at the end, and text it to 888-222 for a chance to claim free food.
Chipotle is bringing some free food to the biggest football match of the summer.
During the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, the restaurant chain will give away 100,000 free entrée offers as part of this special giveaway.
The idea for this promotion comes from a long-running Chipotle fan joke. Some customers have been known to “accidentally” fill their complimentary water cups with lemonade at the drink station, and the restaurant has leaned into the joke on social media over the years.
“The best brand ideas start with a fan truth,” said Stephanie Perdue, Chipotle’s senior vice president of marketing.
How to get a free Chipotle entrée during the World Cup finalGetting the freebie is pretty simple:
Tune into the World Cup final on July 19
During the match’s second hydration break, head to Chipotle’s Instagram account (@Chipotle)
Watch the cup-shuffling game, where three identical Chipotle water cups move around the screen
Follow the cup hiding the lemonade and grab the code revealed at the end
Text the code to 888-222
The first 100,000 people to successfully text the code will receive a free entrée offer, valid on any regularly priced entrée (subject to availability) through July 24, 2026. The offer is available in the U.S. for fans 13 and older. Standard text and data rates may apply.
If you’re already watching the final, it’s worth keeping your phone nearby — your next Chipotle meal could be just a text away.

Seth Meyers reacts to Trumps catapult rant despite what happened last time
Seth Meyers took "A Closer Look" at Donald Trump's recent catapult-focused press comments on Thursday's Late Night, a longtime favourite topic of the president's.
That's despite what happened the last time Meyers responded to Trump's catapult fixation in 2025, when the president accused the host on social media of being the one who's catapult-obsessed — the ol' "I know you are but what am I" strategy.
"In case you're not familiar, this is a long-running obsession for Trump," said Meyers. "And I'm loath to even bring up his catapult obsession because the last time I did, the president posted on Truth Social that I, your beloved talk show host, 'talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers.'"
SEE ALSO: Seth Meyers responds to Trump's targeted Truth Social rant about himNonetheless, Meyers unpacked Trump's latest rant about steam catapults on U.S. aircraft carriers, on Wednesday, during a defense summit at the U.S. Army War College. In particular, the host remarked on Trump's use of the word "catapulter" to describe a technician he talked to about the project.
"Is there actually a person with the job title catapulter, or did he just make that up?" said Meyers. "Because I could definitely see Trump saying, 'I want to meet the catapulter,' and everyone's like, 'Who?' and Trump's like, 'The catapulter, the guy who does the catapult,' and they say, 'What does he look like?' and Trump says, 'You got a long green body and a red head, and they call him The Very Hungry Catapulter. Very hungry. He's not done with the leaf."

Nintendo and Hasbro are teaming up on Legend of Zelda toys — heres what fans can expect
TL;DR: Hasbro has announced a new multi-year partnership with Nintendo to create toys based on The Legend of Zelda franchise. The first three 6-inch action figures will debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 before the toy line officially launches in 2027.
Nintendo and Hasbro are officially joining forces to bring The Legend of Zelda to the toy aisle.
The companies announced a new multi-year licensing partnership on July 16, with the first products set to launch in 2027. Fans won't have to wait that long for a sneak peek, though — the first three 6-inch action figures will make their debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, which runs from July 23-26.
What can fans expect?Hasbro hasn't revealed the figures just yet, but it has confirmed that the first wave will include three 6-inch-scale collectibles inspired by The Legend of Zelda. The reveals will take place during San Diego Comic-Con next week, with more details about the lineup expected closer to the toys' 2027 release.
“For decades, The Legend of Zelda franchise has captivated fans through its deep lore, unforgettable characters and enduring sense of discovery,” said Billy Lagor, President Toys and Board Games at Hasbro. “By combining Nintendo’s iconic storytelling with Hasbro’s leadership in action and role-play, we’re delivering toys that invite fans to play, explore and forge their own epic adventures.”
While specific characters haven't been announced, fans will be hoping to see familiar faces like Link, Princess Zelda, and Ganondorf from Nintendo's long-running fantasy series.
This marks the first major toy partnership between Nintendo and Hasbro for The Legend of Zelda. Nearly 40 years after the first game launched in the U.S., The Legend of Zelda remains one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises.
