Be still my heart: droll, gorgeously retro, and frequently hilarious, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is exactly the movie that I hoped it would be. With all its hyper-femme, world-domination-style marketing – not to mention its star Margot Robbie’s press tour, featuring jaw-dropping designer getups that directly copycat original Barbie looks throughout history – one could be forgiven for raising an eyebrow at this pinkwashing of the summer movie landscape. Decorated with an awning and string lights, the extra-large, fabric camping tent features room for four dolls. Kids can set up camp, then play out starry night camping stories with folding chairs, a telescope, firepit, marshmallow roasters, a card game and more. Two woodland animals might even pop in to visit. Nikolaus Barbie (25 October 1913 – 25 September 1991) was a German officer of the SS and SD who worked in Vichy France during World War II. He became known as the " Butcher of Lyon" for having personally tortured prisoners—primarily Jews and members of the French Resistance—as the head of the Gestapo in Lyon. After the war, United States intelligence services employed him for his anti-communist efforts and aided his escape to Bolivia, where he advised the dictatorial regime on how to repress opposition through torture. In 1983, the United States apologised to France for the U.S. Counterintelligence Corps helping him escape to Bolivia, [2] aiding Barbie's escape from an outstanding arrest warrant. [3]

Stratigakos explained, “As a feminist scholar, I am interested in analyzing the ideological fences that architecture has built around the profession — the barriers that determine outsiders and insiders. One starting point is the idealized image of the architect that has been nurtured within the profession and reinforced in popular culture. Here we find a pervasive insistence on the incompatibility of the architectural and the feminine.” In 1972, it was discovered he was in Bolivia. While in Bolivia, the West German Intelligence Service recruited him. Barbie is suspected of having had a role in the Bolivian coup d'état orchestrated by Luis García Meza in 1980. After the fall of the dictatorship, Barbie lost the protection of the government in La Paz. In 1983, he was arrested and extradited to France, where he was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison. Although he had been sentenced to death in absentia twice earlier, in 1947 and 1954, capital punishment had been abolished in France in 1981. Barbie died of cancer in prison in 1991, at age 77.The aggressors gotin their SUV, raised the windows aside from a slit at top, and continued to yell at BDC campers. BDC campers continued to request they leave. Barbie emigrated to Bolivia in 1951, [23] where he lived well for 30 years in Cochabamba, under the alias Klaus Altmann. It was easier and less embarrassing for him to find employment there than in Europe; he enjoyed excellent relations with high-ranking Bolivian officials, including Bolivian dictators Hugo Banzer and Luis García Meza. "Altmann" was known for his German nationalist and anti-communist stances. [24] While engaged in arms-trade operations in Bolivia, he was appointed to the rank of lieutenant colonel within the Bolivian Armed Forces. [25] During a workshop organized with Mattel, Stratigakos and research partner Kelly Hayes McAlonie introduced 400 girls to what architects do, with a discussion of the work of past and present women architects, and an exercise to redesign Barbie’s Dream House.

The jury trial started on 11 May 1987 in Lyon before the Rhône Cour d'Assises. Unusually, the court allowed the trial to be filmed because of its historical value. A special courtroom was constructed with seating for an audience of about 700. [46] The head prosecutor was Pierre Truche. Barbie's role in Hitler's Final Solution was the issue.

As Burning Man has become more mainstream, the culture that birthed it is dying away, to be replaced by a more social media-ready one, and there is nowhere where dissent is less tolerated than social media today, whatever cultural or political 'side' you're on. Whether it's Trump supporters and their complete intolerance for criticism of him, or liberals screaming at each other over perceived insufficient ideological purity, social media brings out the worst in us in terms of tolerating viewpoints that aren't ours.
