Oh yeah the atmosphere in this place is genuinely good but they’ve been chasing an “authentic British” branding that’s been a bit silly since the start.

Okay good. That makes sense.

Yeah I’m kind of being a hater lol. I’m sure it will be fine.

Your Innistrad write up specifically is one that I remember reading and suddenly feeling like a year of my life had been explained to me.

Also man, Dimos, talk about a botched launch. We were excited when they first moved into the space, we went several times, but I think early on they were shipping the pizzas in from the main location and you could tell. It’s better now but I don’t know if they ever recovered. We just go to Jimmy’s

The “designed to share” thing has me thinking they’re trying to dramatically cut back on the kitchen at the very least. I do wonder if that was the bit they never could quite wrangle.

Was this just, as people in the comments are pointing out, a way to FoxTrot your staff? What is this rebrand, why the closure and the "re-opening" as a new venue? People aren't stupid, they're going to notice what you're doing.

I know there's some criticism of his big policy proposals, they're not maximally effective from an analytic perspective, but I think part of how we got here is an emphasis on technocratic effectiveness that tried to make its own success invisible, and we need to compete for attention again.

Maybe figure out how to get ICE out of your territory if you don't like what they bring with them.

Yeah what the hell?

I was watching the video and just going "Oh no...oh nooo" over and over but I do think its hilarious in a very Nintendo way.

the scene currently.

i’d estimate the number of people arrested somewhere between 5-10 but it was honestly hard to tell amid the pandemonium.

protesters are signing, “whose side are you on? whose side are you on?”
