Farallon restaurant - 450 Post Street, San Francisco, CA (opened June 1997 - closed 2020)
"Farallon is named after a fishing island off the Pacific coast.
The underwater fantasy theme drives the $4 million restaurant. The electric atmosphere grabs customers the minute they walk through the glass doors framed by a brushed steel and Lucite canopy, which vaguely looks like a scallop shell. Giant jellyfish chandeliers hang from the high ceiling. The walls are textured with shellfish impressions, and lighted yellow pillars that climb the walls are imprinted with seaweed. And that's just the bar.
The big main dining room is more elegant, but maintains the marine motif. Tiny tiles form mosaics on the ceiling, where two huge light fixtures are formed into seashells. Even the hood over the kitchen carries out the theme: It's covered in copper scales. And suspended over the counter are beautiful blown-glass lights shaped like fish.
A gracefully curving staircase leading to the mezzanine is covered in 50,000 blue-black glass beads that resemble magnified caviar, while the wall sconces replicate stands of coral and barnacles."
Excellent examples of the 'Org-Nouveau' style popular in the 1990's

Unpopular opinion: i want the nicassia book I NEED IT. Why would the book be from jurdan’s pov if it’s going to be about the undersea…. It doesn’t make sense. And if you hate nicassia… she deserves a development guys. Some of you need to lay back on jurdan. WE LOVE THEM YES but there are so many amazing characters besides them.
so, I’ve been thinking about all these memes and the back and forth about it and how they are funny/wrong. I don’t think anyone is excited people are going to die. I think people are, just shocked at the irony. People with the money to fix things, to help enact change are spending it, so they can die, facing the same problems as people in poverty. They are learning very quickly you can’t breath money. All those things rich people say… why aren’t they doing those things to fix their situation? Work harder, boot straps, positive thinking, etc…
So, you admit, sometimes it takes more than that?
People are dying every day from air pollution, from lack of clean water, from extreme temps, from starvation, and you paid hundreds of thousands of dollars just to experience the same thing? Just make better decisions.
This is the pic that made it click for me, I don't think most people are laughing because this is hilarious. It is a cynicism that nothing will change, no matter how many billionaires die of poor people problems that they bought.
