watching these moral vacuums of comedians (bill burr, aziz ansari etc) *double down* by using the same PR lines to justify shilling for a journalist-murdering regime at the royadh comedy festival is.... something.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’
During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

Bill Peebles, head of Sora at OpenAI, says the app hit 1M downloads less than five days after its launch on September 30, which is even faster than ChatGPT did — OpenAI's short-form artificial intelligence video app Sora hit 1 million downloads less than five days after its launch in late September, according to an executive.

I collaborated with @davidfarrier.com to make TICKLED because of social media.

His Facebook posts about the bizarre response from Jane O'Brien Media were what pulled me into the story, ultimately took us to Sundance and saw us sued in two US states 😁

since coming to america i have dreamt of attending a hell house, in which adult christians try to scare the shit out of kids by telling them "hell is real and this is what it will be like to go there you little turd!" i'm out of the church scene and they don't openly advertise, any help appreciated
hell houses sound scary more scary ideas about hell houses

i rage against christianity a lot. today on webworm, i talk to some christians who read my work: www.webworm.co/givingthemhe...
I often question am I part of feeding the broken machine, or am I helping to fix it a little piece at a time. I still don't know. I stayed with my church to protect the trans kids in my youth group, and then the anti-queer pastors left, and eventually the haters left. They took 1/3 of our budget with them, but still our leaders decided it was the right thing to do to become fully LGBTQIA welcoming. Now I am the pastor of the church and we are doing our best to apologize, to move forward with love, and to serve our community. I like to say we throw love at the wall and see what sticks right now. If we disagree on scripture, we let Jesus’ words and actions be the tie breaker. We are not perfect by any means, but we are trying to lead with love. Part of serving our community in Portland right now is standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. Many of our people are protesting and writing, and doing all the things one can legally and peacefully. The largest protest in the week – leading up to the announcement that troops would be sent – included over 100 pastors.

I’m not a podcast guy but Flightless bird is one of only two I keep up with (the other is the taskmaster one, which is basically just because I want longer taskmaster episodes). BIG RECOMMEND.

this doesn't happen very often but it's my nightmare scenario, guilt all day, and so also posting this as a PSA to any readers whose financial situations change etc. ALWAYS get in touch
I am not a subscriber/paying member according to my profile on webworm but I see a debit from my bank account with Westpac 21 September for $42.24. I don’t see any receipt in my email and I don’t remember signing up to pay you that! I don’t want to make any more payments and you can refund this one. I am a pensioner for God’s sake! And your contact support button on the website doesn’t work and I have had to spend 15 minutes sorting out how to contact you. I’m not pleased. Please respond and refund ASAP. First up, of course I am happy to refund this - please just let me know your bank account details and I can get that processed. If you're a New Zealand bank (I think you are) it should be an overnight thing, or two days max. I hate that this caused you any anxiety and difficulty. This is what I call my "nightmare scenario", where someone gets charged a thing for Webworm when they did not expect it - especially when money is tight. I never want anyone paying for my work when it stretches them in any way. I comp full memberships for pensioners/students/anyone on a benefit in a second (as I have just done for you). It is, I think, the worst case scenario about running a service that comes with the ability to pay for it! Now, I looked into what happened here, and it looks like on September 20, you used the Webworm "Tip Jar". This is basically an option I add as a button in some articles where you can tip a 1-off amount to Webworm. It's an option for people that don't wanna subscribe each month but want to support my work. You chose $25 USD, which translates to $42.24 NZD, which is where this amount came from. If this wasn’t you, maybe a grandkid or someone was naughty and did it on your behalf, in which case please yell at them from me. Also sorry it was hard to get in touch with me; I keep this email address pretty public (I like people being able to get in touch easily with either problems or story tips - davidfarrier@protonmail.com), and the Webworm tech support email listed is david@webworm.co also reaches me. As I said: Please let me know your account details (I can't see my end) and I will refund. And accept this guilt-free - I have enough subscribers to let me do what I do!!! Again, sorry this caused you angst. Any questions just reply to this email, I am on the road but checking emails when I can. David.

some webworm readers have decided webworm is not for them
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.
