Heated Rivalry is a Crave production, from Canada. HBO is just a distributor. I really wish people would stop attributing anything in the production of this show to HBO.
Sounds like this set was run how they all should be. HBO once again leading the industry in intimacy directing.
“These actors are so bold,” says “Heated Rivalry” intimacy coordinator Chala Hunter. “I can’t overstate how much of these characters they just brought. We kept saying, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe they’re doing that.’”

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

publicly flaunting how creatively bankrupt your writers are is certainly a choice
America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

We aren't "running out of ideas".
People with money won't supports the arts.
Those that do churn out stuff formulated for maximum profit.
Everything is a remake of the original because copyright is broken and "They keep buying the new stuff!"
Support and raise an artist, THEN we get new ideas.

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

People are losing their minds on Twitter and becoming more trick lazy, sloppy and radicalised because the libs are not there to argue against and challenge. Come back.
