Fröhlich Gassner Architekten’s holiday cabins

Kleine Bleibe (Small Stay) by Fröhlich Gassner Architekten is a sustainable holiday home in the sleepy village of Reckenthal, Germany, engulfed in the stillness and serenity of the Westerwald forest greenery. An ensemble of three minimalist wooden cabins, Kleine Bleibe is deeply rooted in its natural context, bearing dark timber facades and frameworks, pinewood finishes and wooden and screed flooring. The holiday cabins embrace and encourage a simpler, slower lifestyle, offering guests an opportunity to reconnect with nature, while they disconnect from digital stimulus and retreat from the hectic buzz of modern everyday life.

Airport dads are all over TikTok, and I hate to break it to you, but if you do more than 23 of

Warner Bros. Discovery’s decision to cancel the release of HBO Max’s Batgirl (a movie that had supposedly finished shooting but will now be permanently left on a shelf as part of some kind of tax scheme) is the big headline-grabbing shocker of this week, but it’s not even the only movie WBD decided to abandon this week. At the same time that it killed Batgirl, Warner Bros. Discovery also decided to cancel the release of Scoob!:Holiday Haunta CG-animated sequel to early pandemic release Scoobs! that was reportedly very close to being finished.
