An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Port of Long Beach is looking not too different.
The entire month of May last year they imported 345k containers.
The first 3 weeks of May 2025 they're projecting 207k containers. If the 4th week is the same as the 3rd, then that is ~260k containers for May or a ~25% drop.

Looking at incoming vessels to the Port of Los Angeles (America's largest container port):
1.) This week we're still in frontrunning mode (57%+ YoY).
2.) Next week we're basically at normal (-8% YoY).
3.) Two weeks from now we're in The Bad Place (-44% YoY)

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Ok what’s going on here?
Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down.
Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset.
Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it.
Means the world may be abandoning America.
We are flirting with a true crisis.

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.
