@BleepingComputer "Shai Hulud" sounds like a REALLY nasty worm.

Some flame wars got me to wondering: What is the difference between sympathy and empathy? (The flame wars showed few signs of either.) https://garymcgath.com/sympathy-empathy/

Apple, caving in to government pressure of an unknown nature, has removed an application that lets people report where ICE raids are happening.https://garymcgath.com/iceblock-censored-apple-store/#ICE #ICEBlock

If I post a link to the ActivityPub feed here so people can subscribe to it, Mastodon will instead take you to the blog itself, which is useless for the purpose. So instead, I'll post a link to the post on my blog where I explain how you can subscribe to it.https://garymcgath.com/follow-this-blog-with-activitypub/You'll find a lot more of what I say by subscribing to the blog than from my direct Mastodon posts these days.

"Fascism" is a term with a specific meaning, but it's often used as a code. https://garymcgath.com/fascism-as-a-coded-term/

@taraprice Likewise for organizers of fan conventions. If their message is "We're only telling people on Facebook," I'm not inclined to go.

There are good reasons to condemn Trump's wrecking the White House, but the loss of the "Office of the First Lady" isn't one of them. The office is pure nepotism and measures a woman's worth by whom she's married to.

Glenn Jacobs, who calls himself a libertarian, said in an interview with Reason that Trump "is going to dismantle the way government agencies can go after people for whatever reason they want." What strange alternate universe is Jacobs living in?

You can subscribe to my blog from Mastodon using blog [at] garymcgath [dot] com. (I have to mung the address, or Mastodon will turn it into a direct link to the blog, which isn't at all helpful.)

Congratulations to the Music Hall in Portsmouth, NH, which managed to offend everyone at once. It cancelled a scheduled event because of a planned peaceful protest against it, breaking its agreement with a pro-abortion group and suggesting that the anti-abortion protesters were a violent threat. https://garymcgath.com/cowardice-portsmouth-music-hall/#NewHampshire

Judicial Watch sends out junk mail marked "LEGAL NOTICE," insisting that you return a form, but it's not clear what you commit to if you do. https://garymcgath.com/questionable-mailing-judicial-watch/#JudicialWatch #scams

What — a word that ends in "rrh" and doesn't have any a, e, i. o, or u in it?? Oh, right, there is one.

The Libertarian Party's new priority is numbers above everything. Anyone who says something vaguely pro-liberty is welcome. But it's already so far down the chute to irrelevance that it doesn't matter. #LibertarianParty

It looks as if I'll be leaving Liberdon soon. I fully understand that the admins don't want to hand out a free lunch, but I'm just not using it (or Mastodon in general) enough to justify the cost. I haven't decided whether to migrate or move to another instance. I'll keep running @filknews for the foreseeable future.

@silentbeauties The 1925 Wizard of Oz is my choice for "worst movie ever made by a professional studio."
