Friday Cat Blogging – 24 April 2009

With any luck, I’ll be on a plane to Georgia by the time you read this.  I’m attending a conference this weekend with fellow members of the VLWC on — let’s see, what does it say here?  Ah, yes: “Attendees will discuss major themes such as the restructuring of the financial industries, the development of regulatory systems, transparency in stimulus contracting, and the impacts of the stimulus on jobs and housing in local communities.”  Exciting!

But you didn’t think I’d let you all face the weekend without Friday Catblogging, did you?  Of course not.  Today is portrait day, and they’re trying to look serious and businesslike.  Did it work?

And hey — as long as I’ve got a captive audience here, a question: can anyone recommend a cheap and simple keystroke logger for Windows?  I’m tired of losing posts, so I’d like to keep a continuous keystroke logger running so that I have at least a fighting chance of recovering stuff that disappears into the ether.  Any help much appreciated.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
