Brass Mill Center is one of those dead malls where the former Sears section of the mall is still pretty active and has a decent amount of tenants, but once you wander past the Apple Cinemas and JC Penny store? You’re in solid dead mall territory. And that’s still the case since the last time I visited here a year ago for this subreddit!
Heard this jam while grocery shopping a couple days ago and fell in love with this track almost immediately when I heard that Doobie Bounce. It may be from a couple years ago, but is it good enough to get a spot on the boat?
This is real, by the way. Showed up on my YT subscription feed just now and cringed so hard at it. https://youtu.be/P4ueje-zR7g
Decided to impulse buy this one off of Amazon a couple days ago, and you know what? I kinda dig this little nugget. It’s a DS/Arcade “Tate Mode” emulation machine, but to me? It has that “Early 2000s PSP knockoff while trying to be its own original thing” energy to it. Can’t play YouTube or Spotify because both apps refuse to work without Google Play services, but being able to listen to my offline music and stream online radio stations regardless while gaming saves it from being $80 E-Waste.
In 2019, an elementary school student in Altamonte Springs, Florida wanted to take part in “College Colors Day” and support his favorite team, the University of Tennessee Volunteers. Since he didn’t own any official merch, he hand drew the “U.T.” logo on a piece of paper and pinned it to a plain orange shirt.
His teacher, Laura Snyder, said he was excited to show it off that morning, but by lunchtime some classmates mocked the homemade design, leaving him heartbroken and in tears.
Wanting to cheer him up, Snyder shared the story online hoping someone connected to the university might send him a small gift. Instead, the story went viral. Thousands of Tennessee fans rallied behind the student, and the university responded by sending him a huge box of official gear.
Then they went even further.
The University of Tennessee turned the boy’s exact hand drawn design into an official t shirt sold by the school, with proceeds supporting anti bullying efforts. Demand became so massive that the university’s online store reportedly crashed from the flood of orders.
What started as a moment of bullying turned into a story celebrated across the country, with thousands of people proudly wearing the young fan’s design.
