Something I love in romance that I’ve only seen a few times is two characters having bad sex and then having to deal with the aftermath of that. It’s a pretty brave story to tell and I wish there was more of it.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

Basically don’t give spyware for Christmas. Watches, speakers, doorbells need to stop being so nosy.
Probably the worst of them all is the Ring doorbell.
It’s sold as safety, but it’s much more about fear and paranoia in a box that turns you against your community. The more of them in the world, the worse our neighborhoods get. Don’t help the spiral continue.
