I don't have a question. I just wanted to share an anecdote with you. I used to work at a warehouse in Philly. An eclectic mix of people worked there: students, working class whites, working class blacks, hipsters, ex-cons. Battles over what music or show played on the boombox during work were endless.

Science Friday was the only thing everyone agreed on. And no one talked during that hour. We hushed anyone who did. Thanks for your show.

So, what is the end game here? Does Kivu become a splinter state aligned with Rwanda? Does the Kinshasa government even have the wherewithal to prevent that?

And what happens to all this when Lake Kivu explodes and kills millions?

"London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Boston."

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong ....

(Meaning, even in eighteenth century America, Philadelphia was the cosmopolitan center. Boston was a provincial backwater cultivating commonwealth grievances dating back to Charles II.)
