Be careful out there — Florida’s in the final weeks of alligator mating season!

Gator mating season takes place in May and June in Florida, and you have to be a little more careful. A woman in Davie (inside Miami’s metropolitan area) was killed by a twelve-foot gator last weekend.

The usual gator advice applies:

  • Never feed alligators. Feeding them causes them to lose their natural wariness of humans and teaches them to associate humans with food.
  • Don’t toss fish scraps (or any other food) into the water. Put them in garbage cans; otherwise, you’re just feeding the gators.
  • Seek medical attention if you have been bitten. Sometimes you have to state the obvious.
  • Watch and take pictures of gators from a safe distance. They’re quicker than they look.

Current geopolitics, explained in a single meme

Trump’s the kind of guy who thinks the Hooters waitress likes him.

The result of the unneccesarily bromance-y Trump-Kim talks was an extremely vaguely-worded agreement that’s weaker than the one from the “Six Party Talks” of 2005, and in return, the US is halting joint military exercises with South Korea, which is one of the primary ways that “Naughty Korea” can be kept in check.

In short, here’s a scene from The Simpsons that summarizes the deal (and in case you were wondering, Trump is Homer Simpson in this scenario):

In the meantime, Trump has pledged to punish “the people of Canada” economically because of the post-G7 news conference in which Trudeau criticized Trump’s tariffs:

“That’s going to cost a lot of money for the people of Canada. He learned. You can’t do that. You can’t do that. I actually like Justin, you know, I think he’s good, I like him, but he shouldn’t have done that. That was a mistake. That’s going to cost him a lot of money.”

Cozying up to lying, murderous dictators who flatter him, while threatening a staunch ally and loyal trading partner going back centuries. That’ll end well for everyone.

Once again, here’s NBC’s Tom Brokaw explaining Canada to Americans

In a time when the president of the United States is slandering Canada — its biggest trading partner and close ally — as a security threat, it’s important to have reminders such as this.

This was broadcast on NBC just before the 2010 Olympic Games’ opening ceremonies in Vancouver, Canada on February 12, 2010.
