Furries are notorious. Among purveyors of cringe, saying, "Furries, amirite?" is like Jerry Seinfeld mentioning air travel. Furries aren't the punchline, they're a whole category of joke! Nature is red in tooth and claw, never more so than when jaded internet denizens recollect that Tony the Tiger is, to some, a hottie.
(No, seriously. Legend has it that the official Tony the Tiger Twitter account had to be shut down because furries kept offering, uh, uncomfortably positive brand feedback. Apparently the NPS boost wasn't worth it.)
Okay but like, what are furries, who counts? Fear not — in these modern times, a venerable brand such as Merriam-Webster considers itself savvy enough to compete with the likes of Urban Dictionary and Know Your Meme. And, tbh, did a decent job covering the basics:
a star is born // the former president’s troubled son is making waves on 𝕏, talking about bar fights, and hinting at a presidential run. is it time to “take another crack with a biden?”
the chaos unfolding inside the cbs newsroom isn't about trump; it's about whether established media can learn to be... fun
