I think the funniest part of today was at 9:13am when a NYT story titled "When will SpaceX start trading?" hit the Bloomberg Terminal's most read stories (a 'readspike'). It's like "What time is the Super Bowl?" for traders, who... should maybe know better? I love it. Pure mania.

One of my strongest takeaways from the Bee this week is that it was a showcase for why critical thinking matters more than ever. So much of what the kids do up there isn’t rote memorization—it’s using their insane prep to solve words like puzzles (using etymology, patterns) in real time.
