"I consider information should be a free commodity available to humanity at large... charging for it is, in my respectful view, petty"

David, something I do not like is how you provide all your followers, paying and non-paying, with a taunting morsel of a story then you shut the door and will re-open it for the final chapter only if the follower pays … I am a pensioner so am not in a position to always pay for the closing chapters of your stories … in fact, so disenchanted am I with capitalism that I am a strong advocate of a Resource Based Economy … renowned American social engineer, Jacque Fresco, conceived of this brilliant moneyless system where, with the advent of AI, there will no longer be the need for money … you may wish to read all about him and his great vision in The Venus Project … he came to New Zealand some years ago and laid out his vision in a presentation at Massey University which I attended … the brilliance of this genius was inspiring … any question put to him during the Q & A section was satisfied and silenced with utter wisdom …
So, as you may have guessed by now, I consider information should be a free commodity available to humanity at large … charging for it is, in my respectful view, petty …
Regards.
Arev Neerg

Kia ora David,

I’m reaching out on behalf of the NZ Film Commission as we have received a request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 for “Any and all correspondence regarding David Andrew Farrier & any applications he has been awarded by the NZFC.”

We have completed a search of documents in scope of the request and will be releasing the attached documents. I’m reaching out to seek your view prior to making a decision on releasing the information.

flashback to the weirdest concert promotor interview of all time? a few excerpts below from the full thing. and remember - this man is trying to win you over to what he does: www.webworm.co/shadows/

What kind of festival are we looking at it? What kind of bands, what kind of line-up?
I can’t tell you the line-up but I can tell you there are going to be three genres, three stages. We will do a media release… we’re really aiming for a two-day festival with a seven-day tourism aspect of the whole event. We’re looking at hosting it in Mackenzie Country. I don’t know if you know New Zealand very well.

The event page says Spark Arena in Auckland?
Yeah. Disregard that. It’s all going to be changed. Spark Arena’s just sitting there because it’s the capacity of people. So the rock festival’s going to be inclusive of two other stages, two other genres. There’s going to be camping for about seven days, three days before there’s a whole tourism aspect, people can go around… Queenstown, Wanaka, do stargazing, tree-planting, all sorts of stuff.
Right.

I was interested in Future Rock Fest. Are you okay if I write a story saying it’s planned for later in the year?
Yeah, absolutely, I would appreciate the content being sent to me to make sure we can add further comment.
No, that’s not something I can do and have never done, sorry dude.
Well I don’t personally mind but if you say something wrong I’ll quite happily instruct my barristers and QCs real quick. We’re a private investment fund and if we get misconstrued or you say the wrong thing, well, that will be that. It would be in everyone’s interest if you’re going to write a simple article about a generic music event coming up… you would have thought you’d send it to us.

so many questions: did you have to post to attend the wedding? did you have to pair it with her music? did you have to write slightly cryptic captions about what you were attending? or is that just cool

David Farrier@davidfarrier· Jul 1

our "live in austin" episode of flightless bird is out! for anyone new to this, each tuesday we put out a fresh flightless bird episode. some are serious, some are silly. also each month we also do a bonus "nest" session, where we have a favourite musician come to play an unplugged, acoustic set.

in 2023 anna mowbray stepped back the zuru empire that had made her filthy rich & set to work on "zeil", which she proudly pitched as "tinder for jobs". webworm reports that the website does what zuru sometimes likes to do... scrape other content to make it their own: www.webworm.co/zuruverseofs...

little PSA about my webworm project! feeling proud of what it's doin recently, but it's an odd time and wanted to get some thoughts down!

I'm currently in New Zealand for a few days before heading back to the United States, and have been reflecting on Webworm a little.
I feel the proudest I have of this place in a while, and I want to keep things running smoothly here – but I did want to pull the curtain back a little and check in.
In short, paying subscribers are leaving Webworm. There are always people coming and going, but at times it turns into a trend. Things were stable for the first part of 2026, but then they started to slip

I wanted to just say two things about this.
Firstly, and most importantly: The cost of living is crazy, and we are all feeling it. Subscriptions to things should always be the first thing to go, whether it's Netflix or Webworm!
If a paying Webworm membership is ever a financial burden, please do cancel your paying subscription. You have already paid for it in some way, which is more than what 90% of readers do.
You can email me to do it for you, or you can do it yourself at any time by logging in to www.webworm.co, clicking on "account", and hitting "change" next to your membership type.

In the same breath, if it causes you zero financial stress, then please stay!
I lose a lot of paying readers when their credit card changes, or gets stolen: So if you can login to your account at www.webworm.co and check all your stuff is up to date, that would be really appreciated.

any kiwis out there use "christian savings" investments? i see they are whitewashing the fuck out of the arise church debacle. fun! really respectful to the hundreds of victims involved.

Looking Back: A reflection on the Arise Church crisis
By Ben Kendrew, Donovan Stevens and Chris Bethwaite
In 2022, Arise Church was placed squarely in the public spotlight following allegations of abuse. During an intense season of scrutiny and criticism, questions were asked about the governance structures that oversaw the church. Four years on we hear from Ben Kendrew (Lead Pastor) and Donovan Stevens (General Manager) about the lessons learned and how Arise has re-built its capabilities as a large Christian organisation.
