       When I was a kid, there was a period where "killer bees" were in the nightly news a lot. I remember because it scared the crap out of me, probably because of the terrible "killer bee" TV movies that were popular at the time.This is just a reminder that "killer bees are getting closer" is a story that will run in the news while "killer bees are no longer getting closer" absolutely will not, ever.

       @nyquildotorg now they're kind of everywhere in most areas south of a certain point, and got normalized.If you're ever in say Southern California or Arizona or Texas and you find yourself being "bumped" by bees, or outright chased by a swarm - which is the next step after they fly at you - stop what you're doing and turn back and slowly walk back (if bumped) or *run* (if already being chased) the other way until you can shut yourself in something like a house or car

       @mybarkingdogs but also make sure you don't inadvertently fall into quicksand while you're running for shelter
