A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Yes if anything the show is an explicit response to that critique!
Maybe this person read the "Everyone is beautiful but no one is horny" essay once and bought into the central thesis so hard that they are now incapable of recognizing an actual example of horny media.

good morning, I have noticed that some of the critical responses to the Crave show Heated Rivalry have been, let's say, incomplete

sex scenes are craft! goddammit!
Anatomy of a Sex Scene: Heated Rivalry Edition - Reading the End
Heated Rivalry, AKA the gay hockey show, has been getting a lot of buzz for its explicit(-ish) sex scenes, and a lot of that buzz has been coming from viewers and critics whose experience with the rom...

THIS!

i think there is an entire generation of political leaders and consultants who don't actually know how to *lead* a political movement and think their job is just following polls
none of these people (inclusive of UK labour) seem to understand that voters want their leaders to *lead* them, not reflect their own ill thought preferences back at them

Don't let the calendar trap you, or the circular cycle of the moon define you.
Break free of time and create your own rhythms based on the creeping fog of the moors, the crumbling of ancient castles, and dark powers that dwell in the catacombs.

SCREAMING at these headlines calling Heated Rivalry a YA series.
📢 Adapted from the hugely popular YA book series, Heated Rivalry balances in-you-face sex scenes with a tale of sweet romance.
I don’t like ice hockey or romance, but this very steamy gay sports drama is great fun

"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.
