webworm sent @tworuru.com along to this potentially insufferable techbro dinner in new zealand - and it was actually quite surprising: www.webworm.co/disruptorsdi...
Some horrible details I was told about this: apparently they are trying to disrupt the concept of “dinner” so for example: - Dessert is on conveyer belts (NOT a sushi train, completely different concept ™️. - after a time all the tablecloths withdraw and all the food just falls off the tables - They just kick everyone out at a certain point - all the most annoying people in auckland will be there - loads more deeply irritating “disruptive” concepts to be unveiled during dinner

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Things are fine.
Flying at 8000 feet today News Captain says flying at 8000 feet (!) Newark to Savannah today instead of 34000 because of air traffic control restrictions. Everyone has to say seated including flight attendants. Never in my 40 years in flying has this happened … wondering what the view will be 😀

it must be embarassing working for zuru

Hey @davidfarrier.com since I know you are a big fan of Zuru I thought I would share what I stood out to me in a recent trip to the Warehouse with my kids about how they market their XSHOT toys
A red image that says "Zuru Marketing Demographics" On the left are 12 guns, each advertised with a light skinned, brown haired, boy - there is a label saing "High Tech, Powerful" above these images and the guns they are using are things like chain guns or scifi looking weapons On the right is two images each of one other gun The top one has a dark skinned boy using a gun that is part of their horror gun range. It has bones on it and blades. The label above says "Primative, Scary" Below that is an image of a light skinned girl with a pink water pistol covered in cute designs. The label above reads "Pink, Cute"

i guess air new zealand is full of hot air, too? www.webworm.co/disruptorsdi...
Six days ago, Air New Zealand told Webworm they would pull the Australian snacks pretending to be New Zealand snacks off its planes, while they investigated. To quote them: "We will not serve the snacks onboard our flights while we undertake this process. This will take the next couple of days to come into effect." Well, over the weekend Webworm heard from plenty of passengers still eating the snacks on Air New Zealand planes, bringing Webworm to the conclusion that Air NZ is full of hot air.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

re: paywalls on webworm
hi - most of my public interest journalism (hundreds of pieces) is not paywalled. some of my work i paywall, as it means i can pay myself, my guest writers, and get legal advice. this piece created change and alerted the correct people. and, in this case, those who support my work get to read it.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that?
