During my much too short visit to SF, this is where I came to have my morning coffee; I was enchanted with the sea lions, we didnβt see Chonkers there though. I canβt imagine that sucker climbing up on your boat like the California Sea Lions do.
Homicidal Mad Scientists Have Officially Launched Their New Bioweapon Attack On Humanity!

Of course it is doomed. Every place on planet Earth is doomed on some timescale. For most places it is a geological timescale so much longer than our pathetic human life span that it is practically forever. Not so New Orleans - it was doomed on a century timescale by the tendency of the Mississippi River to jump its course, which it would already have done by now were it not for the intervention of the Army Corps of Engineers. Theyβve already bought it many decades of life - but it is a form of life support, and one that is itself detrimental in the long run. The bottom end of the Mississippi now flows well above the surrounding land level, held aloft by levies. By dredging to keep it open - an economic must of New Orleans - we increase the pressure on those levies. The river should be building out its delta; by keeping a clear path we increase the upstream/downstream pressure making big floods and the threat of levy failures larger. Eventually a levy will fail and the river will choose a new course and itβs game over for New Orleans as it has been. Thatβs gonna happen. The timescale is decades if not years. And thatβs aside from sea level rise and monster hurricanes and wet bulb temperatures likely to exceed human tolerance, all of which also threaten the city on decadal timescales.
Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate the odds.
There were people - mostly white male scientists who could tell you what I just told you - who wanted to evacuate the parts of New Orleans that got flooded by Katrina: simply not rebuild. That was the correct call from a strictly technical perspective, because flooding there is inevitable. It was also widely seen, not incorrectly, as racist, since the same logic applies to Miami Beach which is in dire threat from sea level rise but I havenβt heard anyone suggest evacuating Miami Beach, probably because rich white people live in Miami Beach but poor Black people were the folk obliged to reside in the more flood-prone sections of New Orleans. There is a lot of magical thinking in Miami Beach that somehow money and technology will save them from the inevitable. It will not. But it can buy them time - as with New Orleans, that time is a matter of decades, not centuries.
So, when do we throw in the towel? When people there vote with their feet, as a lot of people did after Katrina.

Crashin' da PAR-TAY!!
My brain wants to see chonker cats on the pier so badly.
With golden hair
And a huge ego
He lumbers through
To the front row
He thinks he is a king sea lion
The others think not so
They will all be very glad
To see that large chonk go.
"He is probably just very food-motivated.β No way!
Now those critter are definitely stinky! I've been to the pier and witnessed their fishy flatulence and bellowing IRL!
Chokers is large
and also fat
and you better watch out
or he will squash you flat
Fatty and skinny laid in the bed
Fatty rolled over and skinny was dead

"Hi!"
"DUDE! Don't rock the damned raft!"
I like the bit at the end where they are all scramblin to get out of his way
Well, wouldn't you?
Chonkers may be big, but he's cute!
He is on about the reflecting pool, this morning.

OMG that video game has Sexy Horse Vladimir Putin in it.
Ironically Cat Butthole, Oklahoma is right across the border from Dog Sniff, Kansas.
How long until Taiwan is served up to Xiβs China, without a shot fired?
Seriously. Where can I place a bet on this? There are already odds, yes?
Expect tech stocks to wither like irises in a blast furnace.
As long as thereβs room in the furnace for Peter Thiel.
New Orleans is not βthe most important cultural center in America.β It may be the party capital though.
Jazz was born there. So, definitely a center of culture.
I think that's what they mean.
I read Kash Patel's line in the video game in Aziz Ansari's voice.

Bloodsucking parasites. Takes one to know one.

GOOD.
Well, he should know about ticks, he is one.

Conservative counterpoint:
New Orleans can stay right where it is. If reed rafts were good enough historically, theyβre good enough now.

I wonder how much a buy for "Trump makes zero public appearances in China" is going for on the prediction markets.
He'll visit the open-air market in Wuhan.
