can't believe outlets are running moral-panic headlines again based on flimsy anecdata from the *same* trade group (the national retailer federation) and sponsored by the *same* anti-theft company (sensormatic) that had to retract this *same* "study" just two years ago for being bogus.

I think the inflatable costumes play a helpful role for the reasons you state, but the larger problem is not that they take away from the message, but that the message lacked concrete policy demands that could be used to build and sustain a movement. "We don't like authoritarianism" is not enough.

For weeks, anti-immigration agents have tossed smoke bombs at people in cars, shot so-called “less lethal” weapons like rubber bullets and pepper balls, and deployed a staggering amount of tear gas, sometimes unleashing it almost casually into streets crowded with passersby. trib.al/hvYuXLw

The "bench with spikes," formally known as the "Pay & Sit: The Private Bench", is a provocative design by artist Fabian Brunsing. Installed as a conceptual art piece in Berlin, Germany, the bench is equipped with retractable metal spikes that discourage prolonged use without payment. To sit comfortably, users must insert coins, which temporarily retract the spikes for a limited time, after which the spikes reemerge. Brunsing’s creation serves as a critique of the growing privatization and commodification of public spaces, highlighting societal disparities and exclusion, particularly affecting vulnerable groups like the homeless. While some applaud its ingenuity in sparking discussions about urban design and social issues, others condemn it as an embodiment of dehumanizing policies. This controversial bench remains a symbol of the ethical dilemmas surrounding public space management. #architecturediscuss #nuelarchitects #architecture #bench #innovation #art #money #archlovers #architect #landscapephotography #landscapelovers #landscapedesign #landscapearchitecture #nuelarchitect #architecturephotography #people #architecturelovers #architectural #archdigest #architecturedesing #design #Interiordesign #homedesing #graphicdesing #landscapeView all 3,398 comments
