The Car Lot Next Door
Living beside a used car lot can teach you about noise, boundaries, and the limits of goodwill. Years ago, I lived in a low-rise apartment in Toronto’s Little Portugal, right next to a small lot that ...

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

The suspect, Thomas Sanford, seemed to own Donald Trump memorabilia, with a campaign sign outside his house and a Facebook photo wearing a shirt that reads “Re-elect Trump 2020,” and “Make liberals cry again.”

However, local authorities and the FBI have not yet identified a motive. trib.al/0UwICcz

Forget t-shirts. What if the Sandwich Guy leaned in & opened a sandwich shop w/ subs named after his viral moment? Or better yet, a sandwich-throwing bar. Axe-throwing but messier. It’s quirky, hyperlocal, & story-driven. DC might even eat it up. #activism #restaurant #sandwichguy #washingtondc
