@AKATheCupcakes Also the book is like, 800 pages long, don’t read it unless you’re interested in mafia history or you don’t have a walking encyclopedia of the mafia in your home, like Paxie does.
@AKATheCupcakes You were partially right! Luciano did use his influence to get the dockworkers in NYC to act as spies for the US Navy. The rumor that he helped Thomas Dewey and the state of NY, and how much he helped, is a myth.
One time in high school my AP Psych teacher brought in one of his old 1970s yearbooks and said “Katie, I found someone in here who looks just like you!” And he opened it and pointed to one of the ugliest people I’ve ever seen. And I know I’m not winning any beauty contests, and
…no shade to this poor woman, she can’t help how she looked, but it was straight up hurtful. And I just stood there, and my friends were like “oh, uh, yeah, I guess I can see it” and he just kept doubling down on how much it looked just like me.
