stop romanticizing mic dropping… damage to sound equipment is no joke
Modern stage microphones for concert use are actually designed specifically with mic dropping in mind. When the move started to become fairly popular amongst performers back in like the early 90’s manufacturers started making their products more durable so that sound technicians didn’t have to buy a new mic every concert. The biggest concern most sound guys have when mic dropping is concerned is actually the feedback that’s going to be coming from the mic when it hits the ground. That’s why you always see the performers hold the mic out for a second before they actually drop it, to give the dude at the soundboard time to mute!
A Malawian female chief has established a new law to prevent child marriage in Malawi and has terminated approximately 850 child marriages across the country to date.
According to a 2012 United Nations survey, more than half of Malawi’s girls are married before the age of 18. In addition, the country is ranked 8th out of 20 countries believed to have the highest child marriage rates in the world. Chief Kachindamoto is changing this one step at a time and has begun by annulling more than 850 child marriages, sending hundreds of young women back to school to continue their education, and by making astonishing strides to abolish cleansing rituals that require young girls to go to sexual initiation camps.
This is amazing. She’s like a real-life superhero.

If this was any other candidate this would be on every news outlet. It would be a scandal, and that person wouldn’t be candidate for long. The fact that he’s still the presumptive nominee is fucking RIDICULOUS.
Ok let’s try and be positive: if Detroit, which for years has been lazy shorthand for industrial and urban decline meets the End of Western Civilization, feels that this is a statement it can put on its Museum of Contemporary Art, maybe the rest of us can try to get behind it too?
