neighbors on my block are in a feud wherein one has had a professionally printed sign made calling the other one a stalker and is adding daily to a hand-lettered list of offenses
hashtag media studies
Closely following a case where someone in Utah brought civil RICO charges to bolster their falsifiable claims of defamation, the coverage of which has kicked up a similar dispute where corrupt police sided with one household in a feud, and is now facing a lawsuit for violence perpetrated by those police against the other household, am thinking there's a rich vein of media studies to be explored here.
indeed. now i'm wondering more about how they're affixing their temporary list-paper to the board where they reattach it daily. magnets? thumbtacks? i haven't looked closely
"For these reasons, it’s unlikely Luther used a hammer and nail. But that’s the picture that survived. Why? Because an image of the reformer marching through town with a glue pot doesn’t seem as world defining."

Reading now:
“Slanderous libel, rondels, or ballads directed against those who are not followers of Luther shall not be written, distributed, or pinned and pasted to church doors or any archways.”
Pinned? The author explores this no further, despite italicizing it.
"The chapel door was nothing more than the community noticeboard." So, you mean, there was a mechanism for affixing notices to this bulletin board? Bulletin boards typically are affordances that don't entail the application of glue. Granted, the author does not support this claim regarding a "community noticeboard".
Nor, notably, does Strickland explore exactly how a "pin" would have differed from a "nail" in 1517, except to say that the latter is expensive.
K. Myself laughed.
Without reading the attached, my first thought was maybe he glued the theses to a plank and nailed that to the door?
they bring in both signs every night at dusk
Pics or it didn't happen.

@inquiline they missed their calling , which is obviously stand up comedy...
Them's valuable property that oughtn't be left to vandals under cover of darkness.
That said, should we lay odds on when they'll go the extra mile and install outdoor task lights and anti-theft cameras for a more permanent installation?
there are already motion-detecting bright lights that assault one's eyes (at eye level), installed on the sidewalk on the alleged stalker's home, but bright enough to illuminate the accuser's sidewalk too (they have the misfortune of being next-door neighbors, ofc). i'm not sure when in the feud those went up. all of this also now calls into question a mysterious garage fire a couple of years ago
On the sidewalk? Is this a sidewalk as improvement rather than easement jurisdiction?
