Just this post, and I should be done for today. A benefit of the migration is that the ActivityPub plugin now works. You can follow this blog from Mastodon or similar services by subscribing to “@blog@garymcgath.com” just as you’d subscribe to any other account. It might not be available on servers that allow only short-form posts.
This is the first post I’ve made since installing ActivityPub, so it serves as a test and means the feed isn’t empty.
One more thing that broke: The RSS feed URL for this blog has changed, and the old one no longer works. The new URL is https://garymcgath.com/blogging/feed. Again, my apologies.
A recent news article reports on a case where a woman acted like a scumbag but was apparently within her First Amendment rights. Everything about it is strange, and everyone seems to be wrong in important ways.
The article says: “Minnesota prosecutors filed misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges Tuesday against a woman accused of using a racist slur against a Black child at a playground — an incident the woman has since used to raise more than $800,000 after she appealed for help with relocating.” The article doesn’t give her exact words, but the linked official document says she used “the N-word” more than once. The charge is engaging “offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct, or in offensive, obscene, or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger or resentment in others.”

The migration of garymcgath.com to the new hosting is complete! Let me know if you see anything weird.
I think I lost all my email subscribers. Sorry. If you didn’t get an email telling you about this post but you came here anyway, fill in your email address in the left sidebar and click “Subscribe.”
I expect to migrate garymcgath.com to new hosting in late August or early September. This may result in downtime and changes in appearance. It could result in broken links and lost content, though I’ll try my best to avoid that.
