I literally have The Power Broker sitting next to me ...

[conuly]

It doesn't count if somebody says it just to reset my counter, nor if I happen to go searching for things that will naturally lead to me encountering his name. No, it has to be organic.

[rmc28]

Oh I figured I'd mention it while you were on zero days, so as not to artificially reset. But also looking from the screen to my right made me giggle.

[conuly]

But mentions of The Power Broker also count, and that's what did it this time, somebody brought it up elsewhere.

[frandroid]

That Clifford Schorer guy is fun.

Given that the folks at 99% Invisible are doing a series on The Power Broker I feel like the statistical likelihood of him coming up in casual conversation is significantly higher than it would be normally.

[rmc28]

The 99% invisible read through is indeed why I have a copy of the book next to me.

[glinda]

I must confess, it's the only reason I know who he is!

[conuly]

Oh. Maybe I ought to remove mentions of The Power Broker from my counter for the duration.

[rebeccmeister]

I can't remember, do we need to stop mentioning him, or is it okay for it to get reset like that? Main reason I ask is, I kind of feel like I'm forced to think about him more often than I'd like, simply because of the interstate in Albany that still divides the city from the Hudson River.

[conuly]

Lol, I just think it’s funny that people do keep mentioning him! But repeats from the same person on the same specific gripe don’t count.
