[sorry this is gonna be a long one & i dont know how to put it all under a cut DFSKGFDK]
i talked a whole lot about goldie and scrooge’s relationship before (not here) and i dont think i ever said it was BETTER. i really hate scrooge and goldie as a couple fsgdfk goldie was introduced as a villain (she drugged scrooge and scammed and manipulated him various times) and writers like don rosa took her and romanticized her and made scrooge very horny, and everyone else from that point on was like “Aw Yeah, Let’s Have Them Be Lovers Now!”
ex.

(barks’ original panel)

(don rosa’s straightified addition)
(this isn’t the first time he subtly changed barks panels either, for example in an original comic scrooge was scowling at goldie and in DR’s he was smiling at her, etc etc)
if you look at the original barks story “back to the klondike” (which was the first duck comic i ever read hehe) romance was never clearly stated except that one panel where goldie flirts with him (to soften him up) and he says “if you weren’t so pretty, i wouldn’t listen to you!” but the very next panel is him screaming for his money. that’s probably the straightest scrooge panel barks ever made. the romantic connotations everyone twisted around is when donald & HDL teased scrooge about them being in a relationship but scrooge himself never confirmed that. he was only interested in his money because he’s scrooge mcduck and his only true love is getting that bread.

(he’s a duck you fool)
when i talked about this a while ago, i did say i thought GOLDIE was better than daisy. goldie is a cool ass character!! she manages to outsmart one of the most cunning characters in the DCU (disney comic universe) and what does daisy do. paint her nails. i dont know.
daisy’s abusive to donald on the daily while goldie and scrooge are Toxic Yes (manipulative and deceiving) but not physically abusive?? daisy constantly tears donald’s heart out while the worst goldie would do is steal scrooge’s wallet.
i dont like scrooge/goldie as a pairing because its just so bad DFGKFDK & i think they’re way better as old friends, like portrayed in dt17 (minus the intense sexual tension they had. which was terribly uncomfortable FKSDGK) i like how they admire each other for how smart they are but scrooge’s true love is his money babey
TLDR; i dont like scroldie, but i like scrooge n goldie individually, don rosa made scrooge very horny, daisy’s a more abusive & worse character than goldie, and scrooge has a money fetish. the end

What connects Ljubljana, New York and Berlin? A modular, adaptive design system placed there. It is a Kiosk K67, designed by Saša Mächtig.

From 1968 to 1999 have been manufactured around 7,500 units of the K67 all around Yugoslavia. Some of them were also exported to Poland, Japan, New Zealand, Kenya, Iraq, the Soviet Union, and the United States. The system permitted unlimited configurations and variations, therefore is perfect for different types of adaptation and programs. You might find the Kiosk K67 in the collection of the Museum of Architecture and Design MAO in Ljubljana.

Kiosk K67 was also adapted for different uses, from border patrol stations, ski lift ticket booths, flower shops, to retail and fast-food stands. And after more than 50 years it is still present and becoming popular in many cities.
The first K67, which became a part of the design collection of MoMA in 1970, was at the beginning set on the 53rd Street sidewalk. It got finally its place in the museum during the MoMA exhibition Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980 as an object of mass design.

Maja Vardjan, our of the curators of the exhibition Systems, Structures, Strategies in the Museum of Architecture and Design MAO, describes why the K67 is so persistent in many cities. She evaluates it as a piece that with “its position between architecture and industrial design, embeddedness in the framework of a modern city and society, the rituals of daily life, and, last but not least, its persistent capacity to reinvent itself.”

The ability to reinvent itself makes the kiosk fresh in many settings and configurations. Martin Ruge created a kioski in Berlin. He brought one of the K67 although the transportation was difficult and the connection with freshwater, sewage and electricity to the Mykita building took more effort than expected. But he thinks it was worth it. And freshwater, sewage and electricity shall become matter of the new design issues for K67 to solve in the future.
The metamorphosis as a constant change of shape, idea, social and political reality shaped K67 to the point that is again in use. As Maja Vardjan said, a kiosk is phenomena, always alive and never the same.
