I remember reading a scathing piece long ago all about how Martha Stewart used her properties; the show, the magazine, the in store products et al. to cross promote and shore each other up financially. She was held as a grifter cheat for buying her own magazine’s ads for her home goods product line.

Just tried to get covid booster in Virginia where they just lifted the rule to need a prescription. Walgreens is only dispensing to seniors w/o a prescription though not the immunocompromised under 65. Should’ve done it in Maryland when I was there this morning. RFK is going to kill us all

Many of the people still active on Twitter and bashing Bluesky were declaring "Twitter is not real life" daily in 2019-2020. Text-based social media has always been distinct and in many ways unrepresentative. But the actual frustration they have is with forums that empower progressives/leftists.
