Interesting findings from this study. 🤔😄 Attractive female students no longer earned higher grades when classes moved online during COVID-19. "When education is in-person, attractive students receive higher grades in non-quantitative subjects, in which teachers tend to interact more with students compared to quantitative courses. This finding holds both for males and females." A Swedish university study found that attractive female students got higher grades in subjective, non-quantitative courses during in-person teaching, but that edge vanished when classes moved online, while the male beauty premium stayed. 307 students across 5 cohorts were rated for attractiveness by 74 independent judges, and the pandemic created a natural split where the same kinds of courses were taught first face-to-face and then remotely. That matters because quantitative courses are graded mostly by exams, while non-quantitative courses leave more room for teacher judgment, so when female students lost the premium only after visibility dropped, the most likely explanation was not skill but the halo effect, where appearance quietly gets mistaken for ability. i.e. when evaluation becomes more anonymous and less face-driven, grades look more like performance and less like perception. My read is that this is less a story about beauty than about how fragile “objective” grading becomes once human impression enters the room. --- techfixated .com/attractive-female-students-got-better-grades-until-classes-went-online/

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker just threatened every government in the world, sovereign fund, and institution on Earth that holds US Treasury bonds. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the IRGC-aligned hardliner who is now the most visible wartime leader in Iran while Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen for 24 days, posted on X: “Alongside military bases, those financial entities that finance the US military budget are legitimate targets. US treasury bonds are soaked in Iranians’ blood. Purchase them, and you purchase a strike on your HQ and assets. We monitor your portfolios. This is your final notice.” Read that again. He did not threaten military bases. He threatened bond holders. He declared the financial infrastructure that funds the American war machine a legitimate military target. He claimed Iran is monitoring portfolios in real time. And he issued a “final notice” to every entity financing the Pentagon’s $200 billion supplemental request. Japan holds $1.1 trillion in US Treasuries. China holds $770 billion. The United Kingdom holds $690 billion. Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, Canada, Belgium, Ireland, Switzerland, and Taiwan are all in the top fifteen. Ghalibaf just told every one of them: your Treasury holdings make your headquarters a target. This is not a bluff. It is not operational either. Iran cannot strike the Bank of Japan. Iran cannot hit the Cayman Islands. The threat is psywar, and the psywar is aimed at the one mechanism that matters: the next Treasury auction. If sovereign funds hesitate at the margin, yields rise. If yields rise, US borrowing costs increase. If borrowing costs increase, the $200 billion war supplemental becomes more expensive. The threat does not need to be executed. It needs to be believed by enough participants in a single bond auction to move the yield curve by a few basis points. A few basis points on $36 trillion in outstanding US debt is billions in additional annual interest. This is the war’s third front. The first front is kinetic: missiles, drones, and 100-munition strikes on Tehran. The second front is energy: the Strait of Hormuz, the insurance market, the fertiliser blockade, the helium bottleneck. The third front is financial: Treasury bonds as a weapon, de-dollarisation as a strategy, and portfolio surveillance as a threat. Iran has lost 70 percent of its ballistic launchers. It has lost its navy. Its air force is destroyed. Its supreme leader has not been seen. Its internet has been dark for 504 hours. And from inside that darkness, its parliament speaker just told the world that buying American debt makes you a combatant. The country being bombed into the Stone Age is threatening to destabilise the currency of the country doing the bombing. The weapon is not a missile. The weapon is a sentence on X that raises the risk premium on $36 trillion in sovereign debt. The PBOC added gold for the 16th consecutive month. USD share of global reserves has fallen to 56.9 percent from 71 percent in 2000. Foreign ownership of US Treasuries has dropped to 30 percent from a 50 percent peak. The de-dollarisation was already underway. Ghalibaf just gave it a wartime accelerant. Bonds as battlefield. Portfolios as targets. Yields as weapons. The war just went from the strait to the spreadsheet. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Sold all my rentals in 2022–2024. Feeling better about that every day. Rents are down 15–20% from peak. 30% of listings just took a price cut last week. But people still think real estate only goes up. This is often only said by people who have only lived through a bull market.

I've traded futures markets for five decades. There is ZERO doubt in my mind that Trump money was behind this buying. There is NOOOOO law that prevents the Trump machine from manipulating futures markets. Inside trading is legal Trump family fortune grew today. Trump is playing markets like a fiddle
Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth)@adamscochran

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump's team is shopping for Iran's next leader and they just named their favorite Politico reports the White House is quietly evaluating Iran's Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf as a potential post-war partner. One official called him "a hot option." The administration is explicitly modeling this on Venezuela, where they installed a cooperative leader who gave Washington favorable oil terms in exchange for staying in power. The most revealing quote came from an official describing the selection process: "As people rise, we'll do a quick test, and if they're radical, we'll take them out." Yep... that's an American official casually describing assassination as a job interview elimination round. Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince, is officially off the table. Instead they want someone already inside the system who can cut a deal. This confirms exactly what this war was always building toward. Not regime change. Regime adjustment. Keep the structure, swap the driver, secure the oil terms, and call it peace. Whether Ghalibaf, who publicly denies any talks and threatened to target U.S. Treasury bondholders last week, is actually willing to play ball is the literal trillion dollar question.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Trump administration is quietly evaluating Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf as a potential future leader of Iran. Ghalibaf is a former IRGC general who this morning called for "complete and remorseful punishment" of American aggressors. The Trump administration has decided this is their guy. Ghalibaf has not been informed that he is their guy. Source: Politico

With news that Caesars might be sold to billionaire Tillman Fertitta owner of the Houston rockets , Golden Nugget casinos, landrys and the largest shareholder in Wynn casinos there’s a chance that we might get lucky and some of these casinos could return to independents. If I was Tillman I’d make Vici take a haircut, then sell all the other smaller casinos to independent owners and take the cash remodel Caesar’s and make that a destination. This way he owns the land, gets rid of all the garbage that has taken over and there’s no more monopoly. Steve Wynn built places where people couldn’t get enough of. You had to keep going back.

Are San Francisco homes selling at insane prices? Some are, but the important thing to realize is these are the ones like everyone in the city is bidding on, resulting in a massive number of offers Outside of the “it” houses, home prices are merely elevated compared to last year, not berserk

My personal take, once the war is over, the UAE will do the following 👇 1. Platinum Permanent Residence for people actually aligned with the country in values and economically. Not citizenship, but real long-term residency security. The kind that makes you stay and double down on building. 2. “UAE Inc.” - one company in 3 days and for D100! No more fragmentation. One structure that works across the whole country. Set it up once, operate everywhere. Simple. 3. Even more tax friendliness Ie Foreign income treated as exempt. 4. DMCC Economic Free Zone model gets copied across all Emirates. They proved the model works so well: community, infrastructure, real business activity. Other emirates will replicate. What are your thoughts?
