Was wondering what happened with this…

Almena infamously posted “everything I have worked so hard for is gone” on social media before offering any remorse or condolences to the friends and family of the dead victims. I don’t think he’s going to have many people rallying to his defense.

The sad thing is obviously the unnecessary loss of life/injuries, but also that this sort of thing can be done so well.

Saw this place the last time I was in Santa Fe. It has a ton of cool rooms, a maker workshop, hosts parties/music shows… (and yeah, I get that they had/have an awesome patron in George RR. Martin, but a less grandiose, but still safe sort of thing could still be done on a community basis).
