Oh, and no. I don’t want to support someone who thinks America has gone full Gilead and the American dream is dead because his little corner in Los Angeles feels threatening. It’s unfair to America and it’s a disservice to New Zealand that a New Zealander is proclaiming the death of America.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

imagine being an ice agent i'd honestly just kms

No it's not. You have to stop misusing language because it undermines the meaning of words and the genuine historical fascist regimes that have existed in the past. Richard

whenever there is encroaching fascism there is always a rick

No non-citizens at the big sport thing, eh?

Good thing the US isn't hosting any massive international sporting events in the near future. The sort of events that would draw fans from all over the world.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.

Loved the latest episodes about Christian Music/Chaos. They brought back so many memories. I’m 38 and was deep into the Christian youth culture back in the early 2000s. The kids in my youth group would also have anal sex with each other but still consider themselves virgins. Purity culture referred to this ideology as the “poop hole loophole”. You could still have sex but since it was not with your sacred lady parts, you were technically still a virgin. This feels like the Christian version of ‘soaking’ which is performed by horny Mormon kids. Anyways, thought you might get a chuckle out of that. The terminology is as creative as the act itself.

who here utilised "the poop hole loophole" in order to maintain your spot in heaven? don't be shy

The Art of Train Hopping "Ride trains? Like a hobo? What is this, the 1930s?"

today i share the chaotic story of an american train hopper: "there were moments where you get the most insane kindness, and then there's moments that are just so painfully cruel"

for anyone that's supported webworm - especially in its move off substack - thank you.

In their ruling, released today, the NZMC also took issue with that, writing: The parents are entitled to express their views about the tragic events and their views on the teen’s gender identity and RNZ is entitled to report them. But their perspective came from a particular point of view and drove the narrative. The fact that the story was brought to RNZ by a group that is regarded as having an anti-trans perspective should have alerted RNZ to the fact that there was a wider agenda at play.

The NZMC concluded: The Council believes RNZ should have been aware that there was a wider agenda at play and another side of the story that needed to be told, particularly when further information emerged after the publication of the first story. They could have provided a balancing alternative perspective in a number of ways, in the original story or subsequently. The complaint is upheld for lack of balance and fairness.

as reported in webworm today, the nz media council has ruled against RNZ, saying it lacked balance and fairness in its reporting over the death of trans teen alex. hopefully this encourages RNZ to look at all their reporting on trans issues - they need to (www.webworm.co/trainhopping/)

rnz tripling down is certainly a choice (www.rnz.co.nz/news/correct...)

Webworm heard from a number of people over the weekend about the subject of my 2022 documentary Mister Organ allegedly assaulting an elderly pro-Palestinian supporter at the local markets in Whanganui. One witness told Webworm that Organ, “hit an elderly man multiple times after getting up in his face screaming.”

also on webworm today, michael organ is back to being, well, michael organ (today's webworm is for paying members, and has a bunch of updates and a feature on train hopping: www.webworm.co/trainhopping/)
