Romance and sex aren't the same thing. If you're too delicate to say "sex" or even a more clinical term like "intercourse" or "coitus," then don't try to write about such things, and definitely don't do publicity interviews about it.
Wonderful 🥰
Anne Marie's voice sounds like a 10 year-old girl.
Good of you to tell us what the FCC was doing in the 19th century. Consider reading a history book.
Mary Roach wrote about this in "Stiff". I want to donate my body to crash testing.
it took January 6th for her to decide that her religion was a bunch of BS. sure I'm going to waste 45 minutes of my life listening to her
She told the truth then and now. But I don't have a TV and I'd never heard her speak before, and I don't know if I've ever heard a more weak, mousy, pathetic little voice totally lacking even a hint of confidence. I hope her book is better than her interview. Finally, I've been listening to the podcast "Warriors in their own words," so I don't put much stock in "being triggered."

What Mr. Cecchi-Azzolina calls a "tip", is really a bribe. Big difference. Please call it what it is.
I grew up watching and listening to Richard Lewis. He was a funny man and I have nothing but funny and good memories from him. He was definitely part of the “good times and good years” that I grew up with and made me a better person.

Nope. This is the 1st time I've heard a second that song. Also, before algorithms, marketing agencies did the same thing. We have always been manipulated in this way.
