Return of the Flesh-Eaters Can a species be so terrible we need to wipe it out?

"In an era of climate change and rapid mass extinction, should we kill off a species on purpose?" When you learn about the flesh eating #screwworm, you might have a different opinion. Great @radiolab.bsky.social episode on these scary insects.

This is a 78% increase in confirmed Animal #Screwworm cases in Mexico over the last 3 months of a parasite that was previously successfully contained South of Panama for decades. If you are also a masochist & would like to follow the trainwreck that is the Trump admins' yet again failing #NWS […]

The rapid continued Northward spread ever closer to the US border of parasitic New World #Screwworm ( #NWS ) in the last 3 months when it's usually freezing to death this time of year does not bode well. This is despite the #Trump Administration's "best" efforts […]

@SecScottBessent Such as yourself, I’m concerned about the illegal alien cattle being brought across the border by immigrants! I think you’re the only #ScrewWorm among them! #DumbAssBessent

I’m sure they’re also eating the dogs & the cats 🐄🦮🐈

A single-panel cartoon set along a desert border wall. On the left, two men on the Mexican side operate an oversized wooden slingshot, pulling back a heavy rubber band that has just launched a cow into the air. The flying cow has wide, terrified eyes and flailing legs as it sails over the concrete wall toward Texas. Several other cows wait behind the slingshot. On the Texas side, two cowboys stand beneath the incoming cow, each holding one corner of a canvas sheet like a rescue tarp. Two dazed cows sit nearby with dizzy spirals and flies circling their heads, as if they’ve already landed hard. A wooden sign reads “WELCOME TO TEXAS.” Caption along the bottom: “SCREW WORM IMMIGRATION: THE BIDEN ERA.”

Bessent says beef prices are soaring because of “bad supply from the border.” He blamed Immigrants from South America.

Sometimes the explanations are even dumber than the policies.
