#JackRyan: an ex-Marine with a PhD in history, an economist, a stockbroker who made millions thru his investments, and a CIA analyst.

OK. Suspend our disbelief + allow that he’s done all this by his late 30s. But suspend it as to believe he’s a white dude and not Jamaican? 🤔
Also Jack Ryan is very much A White Man With The Answers.™️

His hunches are never wrong. Every ep he hits someone with a #wellactually. Ppl tell him he’s just too *good.* Abbie Cornish is flustered by him.

Lol. It’s like Amazon gave a random Redditor some $ for a screenplay.
🇺🇸🇺🇸JACK RYAN! Avatar for the argument that American military hegemony is a necessary good! FUCK YEAH! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

An old thread from @ashoncrawley that i wish i woulda read before.
I said i shoulda linked to this before bc it basically predicts the response i got to that admittedly spicy tweet — that i am talking trash bc i am not an educator or, as @ashoncrawley says, “some other individuated problem” that makes me just a hater or whatever.
But that WaPo essay in that link above is *much* more provocative and pointed than anything in my take, which was again about media credulousness and the starting assumptions about Black children and schools. And it’s written by an educator to boot.

You should read it.

...ain’t you TFA tho?
This convo we’re this am is abt the problematic positioning of education-as-silver-bullet, that sufficiently rigorous/no-excuses schools can offset systemic racism. The most vocal champions of that have been Teach For America and its alums, right? How does one square that circle?
There's a whole economy built around "whatever-it-takes" approaches to educating Black kids, and while the schools wildly differ in practice they often fall back on the same rhetoric and the same kind of too-credulous press to bat away real concerns abt how they treat students.

Co-signing @whstancil’s points...but this school also allegedly abused these kids, roughing them and making them kneel for hours “to teach them submission.”
it’s another example of how often the models at schools like this and “zero-tolerance” charters for Black kids really just look like formalized contempt.

People will countenance that abuse — actually praise it and call it *necessary* — if its targets are poor Black kids.
Also, those “Black kids got into elite colleges!” viral videos and news stories have always been icky for this and other reasons

They are far too credulous, whether we’re talking about this school or Urban Prep in Chicago or wherever else

Midway through Ronald Kahn's wonderful book 'The Future of Investment Management'.

The 1st half is solely focused on the evolution of investment management through the last 4 millennia.

And rightly so. Because #history matters.

A quick summary below.

[Retweet if helpful]
Investing as we know it today did not exist before the stock market crash of 1929 & the Great Depression that followed.

Slack regulations, inadequate company disclosures & the general inability to systematically analyse investments kept most investors out of the market.
This state of affairs, however, was soon changed by gurus like Graham, Dodd, Markowitz, Sharpe, Burr, Ross, & others who provided a systematic framework to analyse securities, define risk, & efficiently manage portfolios.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

I have a number of Jack Ryan questions. #JackRyan
(If anyone’s interested, it’s beautifully made, pretty engaging, but also on occasion a bit bland. It’s also semi-regularly implausible in a kind of “oh come on” kind of way, and is neither as clever as it thinks it is or quite as stupid as some critics would have you believe.)
(If you want to watch a few hours of well-produced TV with very good charismatic actors in it without really using your brain too much you could do a lot worse. If they made a second season a bit more nuanced and challenging it could be really good.)

Allow me a rant about @VICE and idiotic attacks on people who seek and research truth, but aren't corporate #MSM robots.
I watch @VICE on @HBO every night, pretty much. No surprise as @billmaher and @FareedZakaria r involved & they're both f--ing brilliant.
Unfortunately, VICE seems to have an issue both with @POTUS and with independent research a.k.a. "conspiracy theory." I view it as classism.
