In which an Australian cricket team creates an international controversy with an unorthodox but legal strategy, and Ken accidentally does a Boston accent. Certificate #30080.
The Best One Yet - “Goldman’s burn book” — Railroad’s $27B velocity. Zoom’s ZaaS. Goldman’s kingmaker revolt.
Straight outta an 1872 headline, we got ourselves the most important day for railroads in years. Zoom’s answer to post-Covid? Un-brand itself — it could stick Zoom in your Tinder video dates instead. And Goldman Sachs’ analysts whipped up an 11-slide pitch deck to Goldman’s CEO… about how much they hate working at Goldman.

NBN Book of the Day - Jelani Favors, “Shelter in A Time of Storm: How Black Colleges Fostered Generations of Leadership and Activism” (U of North Carolina Press, 2020)
Shelter in A Time of Storm: How Black Colleges Fostered Generations of Leadership and Activism (University of North Carolina Press, 2020) by Dr. Jelani Favors fills the “missing pages” of history by highighting the enduring role that Black colleges have played in African American freedom movements in the long-twentieth century.
Favors shows that Black colleges created freedom fighters whose organizing, dedication, and fearlessness made the Black Freedom Struggle’s most pivotal moments possible. Favors also argues that Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were fortified interstitial spaces for consciousness-raising and solidarity-building among race women and race men. HBCU students, faculty, and administrators were vital players in fashioning blueprints for Black liberation and ensuring the inter-generational transmission of resistance wisdom.
Taking the long view and moving through a tour of Black higher education, Favors theorizes that a hidden second curriculum and a Black college communitas thrived on each campus, making them both seedbeds of racial justice and shelter in a time of storm.

Land of the Giants - Googlers vs. Google
On December 2nd, 2020, Dr. Timnit Gebru - co-lead of Google’s Ethical AI team - got an email that said Google had accepted her resignation. A resignation she didn’t think she made. Her exit is just the latest sign of the crisis unfolding within Google — a loss of trust between many of its employees and leadership. This week, what led to Gebru’s exit - and what it means for us, Google’s users. Because when enough people who work inside Google don't even trust each other -- how can we?

What A Day - Divine Secrets Of The DC Statehood
The AstraZeneca vaccine was shown to completely prevent serious cases of COVID in a US clinical trial. We dig into the efficacy data on it, and what it means for the US and global vaccination campaigns.
The House held a hearing on D.C. statehood yesterday. DC has 700,000 residents and a large Black population, but no direct representation in Congress... House democrats want to change that, but they face an uphill battle in the Senate.
And in headlines: a gunman opened fire inside a grocery store in Boulder, a massive fire at a Rohingya refugee camp, and workplace controversies at 'Ellen' have led to a steep drop-off in viewers.
