    I had a tiring afternoon with my mother yesterday, then an early dinner with a friend, and I was wiped out by 8:30 p.m. Went to bed and then of course was wide awake at 12:30 a.m. So I have been catching up on Twitter and other Internet stuff. Finally got out of bed when my phone’s battery was about dead and got on the Chromebook. I guess I’ll sleep later at some point.

    The good news is that Woody the greyhound slept on the bed—he’s still back there, in fact—always a positive sign of his mental state.

    The autumn weather break in Las Vegas seems to be happening this week. Last week, highs of 105° or more every day; this week, highs in the mid- and low 90s—even 90° on Wednesday! There will still be days over 100°, like next weekend, but when it comes the change is definitive and remarkable. And then Las Vegas has eight months of fantastic weather, until about Memorial Day.

    Australia launches emergency relocation of fish as largest river system faces collapse

    Faced with a looming ferocious summer with little rain forecast, the New South Wales government has embarked on a Noah’s Ark type operation to move native fish from the Lower Darling – part of Australia’s most significant river system – to safe havens before high temperatures return to the already stressed river basin.

    Researchers have warned of other alarming ecological signs that the Lower Darling River – part of the giant Murray-Darling Basin – is in a dire state, following last summer’s mass fish kills. Professor Fran Sheldon, from Griffith University’s Australian Rivers Institute, said only one surviving colony of river mussels had been found along the river and there were signs that river red gums were under severe stress.

    “If the river red gums die, and some are hundreds of years old, there will be a domino effect. Banks will collapse, there will be massive erosion and it will send sediments down the river. These sort of ecological collapses are much harder and expensive to reverse,” she warned.

    Our climate future won’t be doing any U-turns either.

    The New South Wales government announced a $10m rescue package last week to mitigate the effects of the river crisis on native fish this summer. The NSW agriculture minister, Adam Marshall, said the unprecedented action would provide “a lifeline for key native species ahead of an expected summer of horror fish kills…. We’re staring down the barrel of a potential fish Armageddon, which is why we’re wasting little time rolling out this unprecedented action. By starting this operation today we’re getting on the front foot while we still have the chance to rescue and relocate as many fish as possible. Marshall said.

    Oooooooo… A whole $10 Million. They’re certainly taking it serious this time.

    The unprecedented operation aims to move as many fish as possible from 15 to 20 priority waterholes in a two-week period, including Murray cod, some of which are at least 25 years old, golden perch and other rare species.

    Yep, serious, they’re really going to do something this time.

    But the government has not said how many fish it will move. One source told the Guardian it was hoped it would be in the hundreds. This is just a fraction of the population of the river and will not prevent the likelihood of further mass fish deaths during the coming summer.

    “It’s a photo-op rather than a real deal,” said a Menindee local, Graeme McCrabb, who has become a spokesman for the local community on the lower Darling. “There would be 10,000 cod between Weir 32 [at Menindee] and the Murray,” he said. “And silver perch, listed as a vulnerable species, are difficult to catch with electro fishing….If Lake Wetherill goes, there will be even more fish die than last year,” McCrabb warned.

    Yepyepyessirreee, what they need is a photo-op.

    Meanwhile, the NSW government appears to be in denial about possible causes of the ecological catastrophe last summer. The water minister, Melinda Pavey, has criticised her own independent adviser, the NSW Natural Resources Commission, which said extractions by irrigators upstream may have led to the Lower Darling being pushed into hydrological drought three years earlier than it otherwise would have been. The commission has called for an urgent revision of the rules that allow irrigators to continue to extract from the river when flows are very low. It wants the threshold when irrigators must cease to take water from the river to be raised, along with other rule changes.

    Yes, shoot the messenger. Because that will solve the problem…. of being told things one doesn’t want to hear.

    “The NRC report was one of a number that has given advice on this issue,” said Sheldon, who contributed to the report. “It’s a contentious issue. We just raised the question: have [the extraction rules] influenced the conditions that have led to the catastrophic drying of the Barwon-Darling? If the answer is that extractions did contribute, then the answer is straightforward: we need to change the rules. If they didn’t, then the answer is a whole lot more complex. We need to understand what is really going on. The fish rescue program will preserve some genetic diversity, but the government also needs to monitor the surrounding ecosystems, as [returning] fish would not survive if mussels and other invertebrates are lost,” she said.

    Data, bitches, can’t have that.

    The government said the fish would be able to migrate back up the 500km of the Darling when the drought ended. “When flows do return to normal, the fish will be able to migrate to their ‘homes’ back upstream, without the need for additional intervention,” Marshall said.

    See? No harm no foul. They’ll just go back where they came from. Even tho the whole ecosystem will have collapsed. The stupid, it hurts. You know the trump admin is taking notes.

    Trump cultists will see his jaunt to Baltimore as a triumph because they’ll perceive it as him not just sticking it to the libs but sticking it to the blacks, too. A lot of Trump’s presidency is just settling petty grievances, real and imagined. He’s doing what so many MAGAts with they could do. Sticking a thumb in the eye of all those ungrateful blacks is just one on a list of stuff they wish they could do. The Trump presidency is white grievance wish fulfillment.

    Agree about sudden ICE course changes. They should probably proceed to evacuate the Bahamas totally so that people can be cared for while rebuilding is underway.

    Perhaps serious consideration should be given to abandoning low lying islands at this point in the climate evolution.

    My husband thinks a high profile, popular Democrat should have run in the primary solely to attack Trump on corruption in debates and interviews and speeches. No plans. No attacks on the other candidates. Just use the platform that one of the top three or five get to attack Trump. Democrats would (actually) love it and it would be a very honorable and worthwhile job.

    Any question, doesn’t matter. Just launch into Trump’s failings. Political media would hate the person and scream but who cares? They’re not there to win the primary anyway. They just need to stay in the top five, which you could probably do on an exclusively anti-Trump platform in a D primary. The designated attacker. The bad cop.

    Black Girls Rock! Reminds Us That the World Would Be Lost Without Black Women

    Corey Townsend
    Yesterday 10:00pm

    ……………..

    Regina King’s role in 227 indeed reminded us that there was no place like home and it is in Hollywood that King has found her rightful abode. “Transitioning from child actor to an adult in the business was easy for me because I found something that I love,” said King during her acceptance speech. King said she accepted her true power when she “stopped worrying about judgement.” Pulling out a scroll as long as the eye can see, King began to dedicate her win to the black women who made space for her. The women that she listed nurtured King and gave her the strength to make it where she is today. It’s safe to say King, like us all, are grateful for black women’s roles in our lives.

    At this point of the night the audience was given a wind that felt unstoppable. I myself felt as if I could conquer the world, or at the very least traverse back to Harlem from Jersey unscathed. I was empowered and filled with a sense of purpose and gracious to even be in a room filled with the gift that is the black woman. At this point I witnessed jaw-dropping performances, speeches of empowerment and fashions that inspired me to go into my closet and reevaluate my choices. It was at this moment that I would have been content if the show ended, but I didn’t know what was in store for me until there was a speech from the icon known as Angela Bassett.

    Bassett was one of the many characters I looked to on television to see myself growing up. There weren’t many gay characters, so my focus was set on black women. Through her character I was shown resilience, compassion, and an acting range that has lasted decades. When she floated on that stage to accept her award the audience sat up in their chairs ready to receive whatever word she was going to give us.

    Bassett could have told me that the sky was blue and it would have been as if she gave me the meaning of life. She could do no wrong in my eyes, so I, like many, were ready to be gifted with her words. Regina King introduced her and said her picture would be prominently displayed if you look up the term HBIC. A lie was not told. Bassett began by telling the audience that we all have a purpose, even if we’re still trying to figure out what it is. That first statement made me know that this speech could only go up from there and that I should prepare myself for an emotional ride. Though I was ill-prepared, I sat at attention.

    Opening the doors of the church, Bassett said, “There might be times when you face obstacles, but that’s when you dig deep for courage and fortitude, and to never forget that despite life’s obstacles that you are destined for greatness.” After this statement there’s absolutely no way that you cannot break out into a sprint for Christ in praise and admiration. Biblical was the only way to describe the words Bassett blessed us with. Throughout her career she has kept her integrity at the forefront and those principles and morals have given her longevity in her career that our screens are better for. “Not only are you good enough, you are more than enough,” was how Bassett ended her speech and there was absolutely no way that you could stop listening and not tap into your inner greatness.

    Mattis is running a political campaign against Obama and they’re all apparently forced to pretend it isn’t happening as he scolds us all on civics, up to and including comparing himself for George Washington.

    Follow the money has always been one of the truest things ever said. The money doesn’t lie. The money tells the tale. And, it’s past time that this country found out the truth. It’s about time that we know where the money leads us. I have no doubt of the corruption and cesspool that IS this Administration. And, yes, I want for the Democrats in the House to do their jobs, and do the investigations.
