Red, Bite and Blue: Shark Attacks Sharks Ready for July Summer Crowds at the Beach Sharks Ready for July Summer Crowds By Americaâs Oldest Lifeguard Turned Philosopher & a Philosophy Major Who Flunked Out Because He Surfed Too Much Will shark attacks be a problem? Summer is here, the beaches are packed, and the sharksâwell, theyâve been reading Twitter and theyâve got opinions. Gone are the days when sharks just bit indiscriminately. No, sir.

Thatâs right: some are going red, some are going blue, and a few confused tiger sharks just started quoting Joe Rogan while circling a paddleboarder named Skylar. This July, beachgoers should bewareânot just of sunburns and warm mayonnaise, but of a new breed of politically conscious carnivore.

Theyâre being ignored entirely, much like in real elections. Across the country, shark behavior is changing. They're unionizing in Florida, gentrifying in California, and demanding bipartisan seasoning in Cape Cod. Itâs no longer about hungerâitâs about making a statement. So grab your SPF, hold your iced matcha high, and keep your limbs inside the ideology at all times. This isnât just a summer swim. Itâs a full-on aquatic culture war. And you're the entrĂŠe. Let the biting season begin.

Beachgoerâs Guide to Surviving July Shark Season Do NOT Bring: Red, white, and blue swim trunks with a cheeseburger pattern (too deliciously patriotic). Seaweed-scented beard oil (you become bait and influencer in one sniff). Waterproof Bluetooth speaker playing EDM (sharks hate bass drops; itâs science).

A decoy leg made of tofu for distraction purposes.

They care that youâre flapping like a guilt-ridden rotisserie chicken in $40 trunks. Theyâve been swimming these oceans long before we started naming hurricanes after divorce attorneys and arguing about oat milk. So this July, swim responsibly. Wear neutral tones. Donât splash like youâre auditioning for Jaws: The Musical. And if you hear a fin slicing the water like a pissed-off credit card, just remember â youâre not red or blue anymore. Youâre just the catch of the day. Auf Wiedersehen â and may your July be full of sun, sand, and a strong sense of humor.
