University of California STEM professors want standardized tests back due to severe math deficiencies among students:
βWe now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle school mathematicsβ
βThe current admissions metric, based primarily on GPA & essays, can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation & AI assisted application essaysβ

US Treasuries are experiencing the worst bear market in history:
The US Treasury Total Return Index has now been in a drawdown for 69 consecutive months, the longest streak in over 100 years of data.
The previous record stretch that ended in 2019 lasted for ~30 months.
This is also only the 3rd time in history that a drawdown has exceeded 20 months.
During the current drawdown, the US Treasury Total Return Index fell as much as -18% from 2020 to 2022.
Since then, it has recovered some of its losses, but it is still down -6% since 2020.
Meanwhile, the 20+ year Treasury ETF, $TLT, is down -40% since its April 2020 peak.
US bonds are more unpopular than ever.

China is seeing massive capital outflows:
An estimated $1 trillion in capital flowed out of China in 2025, the largest annual outflow since records began in 2006.
Capital outflows have more than DOUBLED since 2021.
This comes as Chinese investors have moved funds into overseas equities through offshore brokers, particularly into the US and Hong Kong markets.
In response, China imposed restrictions on cross-border stock trading on May 22nd, ordering all illegal accounts to be liquidated within 2 years.
Furthermore, the country fined three offshore online brokers, Hong Kong-based Futu, Singapore-based Tiger Brokers and Longbridge Securities, a combined $330 million for offering Chinese investors access to foreign stock markets without regulatory approval.
China is tightening capital controls as outflows intensify.

Starlink on planes is amazing.
For one, it's faster and more reliable than traditional in-flight WiFi. That alone is enough to justify it.
But it's also much lighter and more aerodynamic. It's so much better that it allows airlines to *also* save fuel costs.
