- If we don’t do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality. In fact, there is no example in human history where wealth accumulated like this and the pitchforks didn’t eventually come out. You show me a highly unequal society, and I will show you a police state. Or an uprising. There are no counterexamples. None. It’s not if, it’s when.

☛ Why Boston Has the Best Tasting Tap Water in the Country
Boston’s secret ingredient? Watershed protection. Between 1985 and 2012, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority—from which Boston buys its water—purchased conservation land in the watersheds that feed the Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs to the city’s west, the sources of Boston’s water.
Forests in the protected area clean the water naturally so that by the time it gets to the city it requires only limited filtering. There’s no need for the cocktail of chemicals most cities’ water utilities use.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (by We Have Signal)
Buh….WHAT? A partial recording of a live performance, featuring the songs Behemoth and The Sad Mafioso.
I’m posting this here for my own satisfaction, because, really, hardly anybody watches videos on Tumblr as it is, never mind a video that’s an hour long. But if you’re into the band and want to hear them live, this is fantastic.
It’s also easier than downloading any of the fine live recordings at Archive.org, including the November 7, 2012 performance at Cirque Royal in Brussels, which, for my money, has the best recording of Behemoth yet posted.
(As an aside, if you enjoy the services provided by Archive.org, please consider donating. Thank you.)
