  • My Name Is Kevin Drum, And I Am a Tablet Junkie

    Kevin DrumJuly 29, 2017

    I finally did it. I got a review copy of a book a few weeks ago and started reading it on Monday. After 50 pages I decided I wanted to read the whole thing, but the experience of reading an actual physical book was so annoying that I went ahead and bought an e-copy. That’s $14 to buy a book I already owned. I am officially a hopeless tablet junkie now.

  • Friday Cat Blogging – 28 July 2017

    Kevin DrumJuly 28, 2017

    What happens when you plant a cat in a pot? It ripens! Ours went from light gray to deep black, and is now ready for picking from the cat bush.

    As you can guess, what really happened is what always happens. Hilbert saw Hopper in the pot, and suddenly decided he wanted to be in the pot. So he wandered over, circled around, and eventually Hopper left for sunnier climes. Then the pot was all his.

We see you're using an ad blocker...

And we respect that! But maybe you’re of a mind to support our work directly instead? We have until December 31 to raise the last $400,000 we need to keep our nonprofit newsroom running at full strength into 2026. Will you make a gift today?

We noticed you have an ad blocker on. Can you pitch in a few bucks to help fund Mother Jones' investigative journalism?

We’re halfway there, but time’s running out.

With only days left in 2025, we've made real progress toward our $400,000 goal—the funding we need to keep our nonprofit newsroom running at full strength. But to close the remaining $200,000 gap before December 31, it will take a huge surge in reader support. Whether you've given before or this is your first time, your contribution right now will matter. Will you help us get there?
