The Brief A new Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories. The bill prohibits students from presenting themselves as anything other than human, with exemptions for events like Halloween. Students who violate the law could face suspension, expulsion, or placement in a juvenile justice education program. Educators who fail to enforce the law could face fines, with penalties starting at $10,000. SNIP

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Thursday that “thousands of pages” of documents in the FBI’s investigation into the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were withheld from her. And she’s demanding that they be turned over by Friday morning. Bondi, 59, disclosed in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel a tipster said that all but “approximately 200 pages of documents” were still being kept secret at the FBI’s office in New York — despite her after repeated requests for the “full” Epstein files. The initial batch included flight logs, phone numbers and the names of victims, but a source...

A federal judge on Thursday ruled against CIA employees who sued the Trump Administration to keep their jobs. Earlier this month, Judge Trenga, an appointee of George W. Bush, temporarily blocked President Trump’s move to clean house in the intelligence community—specifically targeting agents involved in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives that have compromised national security in favor of leftist ideology. This ruling comes after a group of anonymous intelligence officers, who had been temporarily reassigned to roles implementing controversial Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs, have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Office of the Director of National...

A taxpayer-funded wildcat conservation group has partnered with a “furry” event that caters for people with a sexual interest in animals. Saving Wildcats, a partnership between the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and SNP government agencies such as Nature Scot, has been unveiled as the official charity of Scotiacon. The gathering is expected to attract around 1,200 “furries”, who dress as anthropomorphic creatures, to the behind-closed-doors Glasgow event. Concerns have been raised owing to links between furries and sinister sexual fetishes, leading campaigners to urge Saving Wildcats to cut ties with the “creep convention”. RZSS denied having an “official...

In a rather unexpected turn of events, world leaders gathered for a crucial climate summit. However, many embraced their playful side and attended the event dressed as superheroes instead of their usual formal attire. The sight of political figures donning capes and masks at such a critical event may have left some confused. Nevertheless, it brought a touch of humor and creativity to an otherwise serious occasion. Each superhero costume chosen by the world leaders carried its symbolism. For instance, a leader dressed as Superman might represent the power and determination needed to tackle climate change head-on. In contrast, another...

RainFurrest 2015 was one for the books. The convention, filled with full-grown adults dressed as bears, wearing diapers and taking drugs, catapulted the often sex-crazed subculture cast into the public eye. It was meant to be an annual convention designed for and by furries. But the debauchery that ensued left animal loving organizers banned from ever holding another event in the city of Seattle after brass at the hotel they defiled spread word about what happened the social gathering. Permanently plastered in the annals of internet history, the event started to go off the rails when someone purposely loosened a...

The gay furry hacker group SiegedSec has done it once again, this time claiming responsibility for leaking the data from a far-right media outlet. In a Monday post to its Telegram channel, the group announced that it had hacked the app for Real America’s Voice, a right-wing media outlet founded in 2020 that regularly features far-right activists like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. The outlet also frequently platforms conspiracy theories and transphobic rhetoric. As part of SiegedSec’s ongoing hacktivism campaign OpTransRights, the group said they released the personal information of over 1,200 users on the app, including their full names,...

PAYSON, Utah (ABC4) — Several students and adults participated in an hours-long walkout from Utah’s Mt. Nebo Middle School on Wednesday. The reason for the protest? Furries. A petition was started online on Sunday with an initial target of 500 signatures — a number of signatures that was reached by Wednesday, prompting the goal to increase to 1,000 signatures.

7 Surprising Reasons Why Furries Are Hated Now that we've explored some of the foundational aspects of the furry fandom, let's address the elephant in the room, or should I say, the anthropomorphic elephant. Here are seven surprising reasons why furries are often the target of societal disdain: 1. Ignorance: Lack of understanding about what the furry community truly represents can lead to baseless judgments. People often fear what they don't understand, which can result in hatred or disdain. 2. Media Portrayal: Sensationalist media often focus on the most extreme elements of the community, painting an unbalanced picture that stokes...

In a world where people are constantly seeking unique hobbies and ways to express themselves, one Japanese man took it to the extreme. Toco, as he is known, spent nearly $15,000 to transform himself into a dog. Complete with a hyperrealistic collie costume, he embarked on a mission to experience life as a four-legged friend. However, his recent encounter with a real-life dog proved that his transformation was not foolproof.

NATO is "actively addressing" multiple IT security incidents after a hacktivist group claimed it once again breached some of the military alliance's websites, this time stealing what's claimed to be more than 3,000 files and 9GB of data. When asked about this alleged intrusion, a NATO official declined to answer specific questions and told The Register: NATO is facing persistent cyber threats and takes cyber security seriously. NATO cyber experts are actively addressing incidents affecting some unclassified NATO websites. Additional cyber security measures have been put in place. There has been no impact on NATO missions, operations and military deployments....

A California ‘Furmeet’ event turned into a beach brawl after a pirate furry hit a man with a megaphone

Two people in black wolf costumes got into an altercation in Huntington Beach on Saturday after a man who was recording them refused to leave - with some commenters suggesting that he is a scorned ex-lover of one of the participants. The incident, which was caught on video, happened at a Sunset Beach Bonfire 'furmeet' where hundreds of Furries were out in full force. It appeared to start after a man was filming the group and had his phone in the face of one member who warned him to leave. The man in the furry costume then struck him in...

The government-backed group, once tasked with dealing with such things as school shootings and kidnappings, has now, thankfully, pivoted to addressing the existential problem of furry ridicule. The Safer Schools Initiative, a government-backed organization, recently warned teachers and parents not to ridicule or overreact to schoolkids who identify as “Furries” – defined as “a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online.” Those who identify and dress up as an animal deserve our respect, says SSI. Students who adopt “fursonas,” or personalized animal characters-- and who don fur suits or furry...

Florida Gov. and GOP presidential nominee Ron DeSantis has successfully sucked the pleasure out of many of life’s little joys, from drag brunches to Disney adult TikTok. And thanks to the passage of SB 1438, or the Protection of Children Act, DeSantis may now be bringing the ax down on furries. On Wednesday, the organizers behind Megaplex, an Orlando-based convention for furries — people who enjoy dressing up as or making art of anthropomorphized creatures — posted a statement on Twitter regarding its policy for admitting minors. The statement was in response to SB 1438, which makes “knowingly admitting a...

"The 13-year-old Utah boy hung out in the typical online spaces for someone his age: The chat app Discord. The gaming platform Roblox. And, of course, Twitter. But for more than two months last year, on those very platforms, the boy was being sexually groomed by an adult who was 13 years older and hundreds of miles away. It started in private messages then moved into public view on Twitter. It ended in a horror story. The boy’s father went to check on him one night and found him missing, his window open, the bedroom freezing. The boy was allegedly...

It was announced last week that another gender has been added to the list: nominalgender. Most news sites reported this in the sort of proud way a zoo might announce the birth of an exciting animal, a baby Komodo dragon maybe – as if the gender had somehow hatched and was waiting to be adopted. You are nominalgender ‘if your gender is so much just you that no one else can even experience it’, I read. A gender no one else can experience? That sounds almost appealing. I might be tempted to come out as nominalgender right here and now...

Endless alphabet soup humor

OAKS, PHILADELPHIA — The Kennel Club‘s annual dog show competition was taken by storm this year by first-ever trans furry competitor Blake Ruff. The decision was made unanimously by judges to award Mr. Ruff with the event‘s most coveted title of ‘Best In Show'. According to sources, Blake Ruff had never won a single competition of any sort in his life until realized that he's not a mediocre adult male — he's actually a Blue Alaskan Malamute. "Recognizing who I truly am has been a liberating journey!" said Mr. Ruff hiking his leg and urinating on the public sidewalk. "I've...
