Death, decay and the American shopping mall: How the retail apocalypse led to shopping centers' extinction

Death, decay and the American shopping mall: How the retail apocalypse led to shopping centers’ extinction

Flashy stores, salted pretzels, coin-operated kid’s rides that looked like they were ready to come to life right off the metal grate where they sat. For many, this is what childhood memories of mall visits entailed, but what happened? Across North America, malls are quickly disappearing. Whether they are being demolished due to age, or have simply failed to keep business afloat, it is clear that…

Why are there so many celebs in the west that are huge Israel supporters? I’m talking people that aren’t even Israeli or Jewish. And wasn’t there this thing where Mark Ruffalo supported Palestine but then was forced to delete his tweet and tweet in support of Israel? Why is Hollywood dick riding Israel so hard

ahhh mostly just proof that US propaganda works well. US propaganda relies hard on keeping their public ill-informed about the atrocities they commit, historically painting the wars in middle east as necessities to fight the 'evils' of socialism or 'terrorism'. Generating islamophobia works very in the favor of that. A lot of celebrities speaking up are trying to either: 1. play both sides by condemning hamas and israel 2. openly support israel because it takes one infographic that says "i stand w israel". really, the simplest thing to do if you've never read anything about it but have to say something bc.. why not i guess. or theyre zionists. I dont really know anything about the mark ruffalo thing. but most celebrities that fall in the first category are afraid of being labelled as anti-semites. people in my inbox have done the same, and im a nobody on tumblr. anyone with basic critical thinking knows anti-semitism is different from anti-zionism, and it's worse because confusing both means not taking either of them seriously. anti-semitism deserves to be talked about as an issue of its own, not in the context of zionism. but US propaganda means that if people see anti-semitism being thrown around, people are afraid to talk about what the actual issue at hand is. if people support palestinians first, it is immediately accused as support of Hamas, an islamist militant organization (again, a violent image, easy to breed because of islamophobia). people dont want to associate themselves with either. nobody wants to fucking support hamas. but having hamas as an opponent is GREAT for PR because the actual problem gets thrown under the rug. which is that: the only people who can DO anything about this for it to REALLY end once and for all is : Israel, and the USA. which responsibility the USA is hellbent on absolving itself of. because the occupation of palestine is very much in the imperialist interest of the west. if hamas ends this today, israeli occupation of palestine will still continue. the conflict has no resolution. but in the eyes of western propaganda, the issue has never been the killing of the people of falastine. it's just that this time, israelis die too. so now suddenly people want to Say Something. no one batted an eye for the past 16 years tho. no celebrity wants to admit publicly that their country is the shittiest, and is actually responsible for the killings of the civilians that they're telling us theyre weeping for. either because they cant think it because of their own brainwashing, or PR. americans hate it when america gets shit talked. even when it absolutely fucking deserves it. i mean, that's true about all imperialist countries.

it sucks that it works very well for the west in terms of public perception. because people being vocal about it miss out on calling out the USA, instead going "owow we hate hamas yeahh israel bad toooo.. boohoo BOTH SIDES." what both sides if only one side can actually resolve this... just now i saw AOC distance herself from the protests at times sqaure. im not sure what actually went down there, but i saw some govt folks condemning it for being extremist. but welp. anything that talks about liberation of palestine is painted as being anti-semetic and pro-hamas. not saying these folks dont exist. just that US propaganda doesnt let people make a clear distinction.

WE ARE SO BACK

Juneteenth Reflection 2023

Juneteenth was SO BEAUTIFUL!!! People of all ages and backgrounds joined sparc! the ArtMobile’s outdoor art studio to make art and celebrate Black Liberation. We made Freedom Journals, using Juneteenth themed stamps, colorful stickers, and decorative tapes. We also asked community members to reflect on “What does Freedom mean to me?” and creatively decorate quilt squares, prints of the Emancipation Proclamation, and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Black National anthem. 

We loved the 2nd annual Juneteenth parade that brought together a lively and joyous crowd.  As the crowd processed down Walnut Ave we could see sparc!’s colorful wands waving in the wind!  We had a full table all afternoon: creating, moving to the music, and connecting with each other on this historic holiday.

Thank you to all the speakers, performers, the Boston Juneteenth Committee, and the National Center of Afro American Artists (NCAAA) for hosting this day of reflection and celebration.

Unique journals were made!

So many colorful fabrics!

Traditional quilt sqaures.

A freedom poem!

Jones et al., (2019) states that organisations must strive to improve the fan engagement on site, organisations must try to succeed in making sure a safe and memorable experiences for fans. Jones et al., (2019) suggests that focusing on fan engagement allows organisations to expand new markets which can help for profits of sports organisations. ( Carmigniani & Furht, 2011,p.3) defines augmented reality “as a real time direct or indirect view a physical real world environment that has been enhanced/ augmented by adding virtual computer generated information to it. AR is both interactive and registered in 3d as well as combines real and virtual objects”. In 2019 the Dallas Cowboys released an augmented reality in stadium programme which allows fans to get a picture with their favourite Dallas Cowboys player. The aim was to increase fan experience before and the game. The Dallas cowboys partned up with American mobile data company AT&T, which helped to deliver this programme. This has paved a way for other NFL teams to integrate augmented reality into their stadiums which can significantly improve fan engagement and retain fans. DigiDay, (2022) explains that the Los Angeles rams have integrated this. Sofi stadium have created an augmented reality app which is mainly targeted at younger kids, the app includes animations of touch downs, interactive content coordinated with touchdowns, the app also includes in app prizes. The L.A Rams have a 70,000 sqaure foot infinity screen which is easily visible from all around the stadium which shows gameplay content in real time with effects. The company who runs the augmented reality for the L.A Rams are Stagwell marketing cloud, according DigiDay ,(2022) Stagwell marketing Cloud are looking to expand this idea to concerts and other live events.

Any lilyheart or turtle tail headcanons?? I think they are both underrated and deserved more attention 😭

lilyheart is like. freakishly big, she's super fluffy around her neck fur (which is shaped like a heart) but everywhere else has normal fur. her patterning is rlly weird; grey w/ red spotting and she has a rlly deep voice turtle tail is quite small and thin, but can still pack a punch. she has a slight british accent, she's chubby but that gets covered by her fluff, her markings look like the sqaure thingys on turtle shells, her tail is rlly short, she has like. 1960s american woman hair, and also has that kinda voice, she loves calling people "honey" and "baby", hmm thats it

Americans be like: absolutely bonkers 😧 that the Chinese civilians don’t know about Tiananmen Sqaure 🤭 Educate Yourselves 👏🏼 Our flag is the Brightest Beacon of Freedom in the world 😤👊🏼

game theory mario is america

See heres my proof, Luigis primary color is green, green is a color like red...mario primary color is red. America? has red stripes in the flag and founded on the bloodshed of native americans. Blood? red. heres more proof Marios overalls? Blue, anericas blue sqaure is...blue. Now theres are a comparison to eyes and stars people do. Marios eyes are white and Blue but what if you invert those two colors.... The stars on americas flag? white stars, on a blue sqaure. marios eyes...blue on white....the flag....White on blue. Now in america? people had mustaches and mario has a mustache. The brown boots? brown is often colores for dirt...america has done alot of DIRTY things. They did terrible dirty things by stepping on people they considerd lower than them. To Step on people you need...feet. but feet can get hurt so you use... Shoes. now heres more proof cementing this Game Theory....Mario has gold buttons.. Gold. Gold rushes happend all over in america durinf the 1800s. Mario appread in 1981. 1800...rerange 1800 and get.... 1080 Now...4 and 5 equal 9 that is ONE equation needed to get our 9... substitute the one and the nine for zero...get 1981. this cements my theory mario id america WAKE UP SHEEPLE
