New post at isopodlegs.substack.com on creative rituals for busting writer’s block!

@MorePerfectUS U.S. billionaires reached a record breaking $7.6 trillion in wealth as of September 2025, an increase of $4.7 trillion in the less than eight years. Most of that wealth hasn’t been taxed and won’t be taxed under our current system — per @4TaxFairness .

They want you so mad at the very visible ABC & Disney so that you forget about them and the far less visible Nexstar and Sinclair media groups.

By all means, be mad at ABC & Disney execs for being cowards under pressure. But be madder at the people who applied that pressure in the first place.

Headline from the New York Times, 1939: “Goebbels ends careers of five “Aryan“ actors who made witticisms about the Nazi regime.”
