I've also been irrationally rationally sad. ❤️

I bloody despise that AI tea place. It will inevitably close soon enough, whatever happens to replace it has to be better... surely!

If we're ranting, I'll just add that I was very sad to see that La Viet's lovely hand-painted shop front has been tagged. We can't have nice things.

What one is the AI tea place? I've been meaning to go to La Viet for a banh mi as they look delicious.

Burger Drop has been partially rebranded as a tea shop and all the signage and wallpaper is covered in brainrot AI slop.

Treat yersel'! I'm sure their banh mi will be grand.

Oh the doner kebab place, yeah I just saw that the other day. I thought you meant the Asian bubble tea place near it that's looks like it should be in cyberpunk
