I am speechless. Thomas Aquinas College just dropped a study on the rigor of the new SAT.
It compares the 1980/87 test with 2026. The findings should terrify every parent and teacher...
Vocabulary has collapsed.
Old SAT: 70.6% of questions tested vocab.
New SAT: 15%.
The old test forced students to know a wide range of words through analogies, antonyms, and sentence completions. The new test abandoned that. Most vocab questions now just ask students to fill in one blank from context.
Reading passages also got radically shorter (average ~97 words vs 300–340).
The new test uses short expository passages and hands you the necessary background knowledge inside the text. The older tests leaned much more heavily on argumentative and persuasive writing, assumed far more historical, scientific, and cultural knowledge, and penalized students who lacked it.
This is a redefinition of what "college readiness" means.
If you believe that kids should develop rigorous vocabulary, be capable of sustained reading, and possess background knowledge, I have bad news for you. The SAT no longer measures these.
If you want a future where children can actually read difficult texts and construct complex arguments, the SAT must be replaced now.
This cannot go on.
ThomasAquinasCollege@TACollege· Oct 29, 2026We were concerned that the SAT has become a less reliable measure of student preparedness for a rigorous college curriculum.
So, we commissioned a study from Johns Hopkins University. What does this study tell us about the state of higher education?
The results are shocking.

Anthropic has filed for a record $2 trillion IPO. In a talk uploaded November 30, 2025, a stockbroker asked Elon Musk which company he would buy. Musk said he has no portfolio, then named Google and Nvidia.
The man asking is Nikhil Kamath, who told Musk his primary job is stockbroker and stock investor. Musk runs Tesla, SpaceX, xAI and X, and says the output of AI and robotics "will dwarf everything else."
The clip is three moments from a 114-minute conversation. The full talk is free on YouTube. In it Musk says US deficits run on the order of $2 trillion a year, and that interest payments on the debt exceed the entire US military budget.
His rules for money fit on a napkin.
Judge the product, not the price. His test for any stock: do you like what the company makes, do you like the roadmap, do you believe in the team. A company, he says, is a group of people assembled to make products and services.
Expect the swings. That test does not solve for daily moves, which he admits are sometimes pretty extreme. His advice is to hold and not worry about them.
Watch the ratio. Inflation, he says, is goods and services output against growth in the money supply. AI has not yet raised output enough. He guesses output growth passes money growth in about three years.
Know the fix on offer. He says the only thing that can solve the US debt is AI and robotics. That is a bet, and he says so.
Money is a tool. He calls it an information system for labor allocation. A trillion dollars on a desert island buys nothing, because there is no labor to allocate.
Check who owns it. When he says AI, robotics and maybe spaceflight will hold almost all the value, he runs companies in each of those fields.
"I don't look for things to invest in. I just try to build things."
Listen from 86:12.
Before you buy into any IPO this month, write down what the company sells, what it ships next and who builds it. If you cannot fill in all three lines, you are not investing. You are buying a headline with your name on it.

After SpaceX's very first Falcon 1 rocket failed in March 2006, the team was exhausted and heartbroken. Elon Musk instead of only pushing harder, spent more than $100,000 to book a private Zero-G flight, so his engineers could finally float weightless and get a real taste of the spaceflight they were working so hard to make possible. Many of them had joined SpaceX dreaming of becoming astronauts one day, and I love that in one of the hardest moments for the young company, Elon reminded them why they had started in the first place.
Elon understood that people building the future also need to feel it, even if only for a few seconds at a time.

How can @MIT and President Kornbluth sit back and allow Kristin Knouse to remain on the MIT faculty when she has been found by a jury of her peers to have falsely accused him of rape, and intentionally destroyed his life and career with the help of co-conspirators in the MIT administration?
How does this not violate MIT’s code of conduct?
How can one continue to trust the research she produces?
Why has MIT not immediately launched a formal investigation to reconsider the removal of @DMSabatini’s tenure and Knouse’s continued inclusion on the faculty?
The evidence from the case is now in the public record. It is a straightforward process for MIT to review the facts.
Justice must be served.

Elon Musk presenting about SpaceX rockets in 2008.
No slides. No notes. No PowerPoint. No teleprompter.
Just his vision, his memory, the message he wants to convey, and his brain operating in its rawest form.
And nearly two decades later, he still does the same way

NEW UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: I spent several months investigating a nationwide network of advocacy organizations and medical providers helping families continue medically transitioning their children in defiance of state laws.
My investigation centers on Campaign for Southern Equality (CSE), an LGBT advocacy nonprofit that connects families with cooperating medical providers across the country. CSE has distributed over $1 million in travel grants to more than 1,200 families, plus another $1 million to partner organizations, including funding for medical appointments.
With CSE's knowledge, providers in its referral network told me the ways that they circumvent state restrictions on gender-transition treatments for minors.
Some discussed using alternative diagnosis codes, such as “endocrine disorder,” to facilitate prescriptions or insurance coverage. Others described mailing medications directly to families' homes or sending prescriptions to pharmacies in states where these interventions are banned.
Providers also discussed conducting virtual appointments with patients in those states. Others required patients to cross state lines for telehealth but did not appear to have a reliable method for verifying their physical location.
My primary undercover scenario involved an 11-year-old girl in Tennessee who had only recently begun identifying as nonbinary, with no long history of gender-related distress. The providers I shared this scenario with seemed eager to treat her. Many indicated that puberty blockers could be prescribed after an initial evaluation lasting just one to several hours.
My investigation uncovered practices that may violate state and federal laws and pose medical risks to children living hundreds or thousands of miles from their treating physicians.

Instead of Space Age carbon fiber or aluminum-lithium, SpaceX is building its Starship rocket out of stainless steel.
Stainless steel is easy to weld, far cheaper, and under the right conditions, it has a similar strength-to-weight ratio as carbon fiber.
