I stayed up past midnight and blew all of my tickets before I went to sleep so now I’m all like
We are unironically discussing setting up our own henge today.

Looking forward to PvP Farcade
Seriously blown away with how much they’ve packed into a frame.
Not just games, but a whole gaming platform. Feels native, fast, and infinitely expansive.
Pretty sure this is going to be a thing.

TIL chewing gum is a byproduct of petroleum processing and that Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was historically a major supplier of synthetic gum base materials for the Wrigley Company.

Last minute gift idea: $pony
An example of experience inflexibility: I arrived at this page via The Brutalist promotion page and I have to cycle through a list of all nearby locations (whether they're playing the movie or not) to find one that's playing the movie.
This assumes a theater-first user expectation, which is to say that I'm more interested in seeing what's playing in a particular theater than any particular movie. Sometimes that's true. But they make the user work for any other preference (like movie-first).
At a minimum, don't feed me a list of theaters you know don't have the movie.
Side note: they prompt me to "check this theater again soon" instead of prompting me to receive a text/email when that movie arrives. A wasted connection opportunity.
Lastly: I might know some of the folks who made this and I don't mean to disparage them; it's a single example of a common occurrence: many technology and business decisions piling up to create a less-than-stellar customer experience. I can imagine all kinds of normal scenarios.

>The development of a corporate strategy should amount to more than the aggregation of business unit strategies.
This is the first line from a McKinsey corporate strategy article from 2011 and I feel like I'm either losing my mind or seeing clearly. To me this is so backwards that I almost can't believe it's in print.

I just discovered the t8ke scale and felt a bit of relief. My own, based on a 5 point scale and mostly for beer, is pretty accurately aligned, even in the language used. I applied descriptions for ratings because I saw too many people giving drainpours a 3 or whatever and when we were drinking together, it gave a more common vocabulary.
Of course, there are more dimensions underneath these ratings — e.g., price, category — but that's a different discussion.
The t8ke Scoring Scale:
1 | Disgusting | So bad I poured it out.
2 | Poor | I wouldn’t consume by choice.
3 | Bad | Multiple flaws.
4 | Sub-par | Not bad, but many things I’d rather have.
5 | Good | Good, just fine.
6 | Very Good | A cut above.
7 | Great | Well above average
8 | Excellent | Really quite exceptional.
9 | Incredible | An all-time favorite
10 | Perfect | Perfect
