I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Damn

And I was actually talking about the 90s (back when there were only cabs)

VERY different scenario, but I used to be sent out into the street to hail a cab in NYC by my Black friends. It worked

DID works!

😍

Yes. We need to stop (re)enacting this dynamic if anything is going to change. It won’t change on its own. It requires ACTION

The bystanders!

I just double checked, and the interview was 12/10/1990, so I guess after (assuming this photo was taken in 1990). We didn’t talk about that action in the interview, but the interview is something I’ll never forget (and always happy to share it if any interest — just dm me)

So nice to see this photo. I interviewed Assotto when I was an undergrad a few years before he died

This reads like an Onion headline

LOVE this. I’ve always always said I want to be one of the first to die in an apocalypse. Glad to know there are others who share this sentiment!

Sure! (I didn’t realize that what it was until I put it on)

It’s not a bad technique tho…

Yeah, he is very special. Total trust
