News I found interesting today
News collected for Tuesday, November 12th:
- FURRJOI has officially joined Bluesky after a previous debacle where a bad actor impersonated the company on the service.1
- LG Display has announced an even stretchier bendable display than previously offered.
- Apple Intelligence on iOS 18 has a habit of creating accidentally humorous summaries of notifications received.

- Metro Mutt (aka Clarke Macbeth) ran as the first openly furry political candidate (since the Reform Party candidates in Arizona in the 1990s) in this year’s Maple Grove, MN, city council election, receiving 3.02% of the vote in the final contest. (In this district, that equates to 1,794 votes) Users on Bluesky are now joking that Maple Grove is the “30th largest furry convention” as a result of these findings.2
