I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news. The bad news is, there are murder hornets. The good news is, I lied, there is no good news, there are murder hornets. But at least there are some funny tweets about murder hornets, so we got that going for us, which is nice.
It should be said that though these nasty buggies are the meme of the moment, that’s not an excuse for us to be dumb. People are killing off helpful insects in cases of mistaken identity. DON’T do that. DO make jokes. Like these!
12. Netflix and definitely not chill
I’m not a fan of reality at the moment.

This would be…better? Maybe?
Ok hear me out…what if we train the murder hornets to kill the mosquitoes?

8. Over it
Don’t mess with Texas, it is already thoroughly messed with.
2020: We brought you some murder hornets.
The South: Great. Put ‘em over there with the giant spiders, man-eating mosquitoes, ticks that makes you allergic to meat, and the 67 types of venomous snakes.

Surprise, dummies.
Government said “y’all don’t wanna stay inside? Hold it right there we got something for ya”

6. No not like that
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but…
Governments: please stay inside.

5. I dreamed a dream
Ok now go make that reality.
I had a dream about the murder hornets last night and you know what? They’re actually not terrifying at all and are really nice to talk to and they make the most amazing pistachio macarons.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go live in a bunker before reality becomes that episode of Black Mirror with the killer bees app, because the way this year is going I guarantee you that’s what’s coming next.
How are you protecting yourself from the murder hornets?
