i'd like to know what the US adoption rate for bidets was over the course of covid because of people having disposable income to spend on DTC brands like tushy. it will be an important data point if we want to know precisely when "being proud of your shiddy doo doo ass" became conservative coded

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

Watching Rodgers’ potential suffering might be the only thing that can unite America. Bravo, NFL.
Another factor to consider with NBC choosing Ravens/Steelers: It could actually be Rodgers' last game. Like, if Baltimore wins, it might literally be the final game of his career. I guarantee that played a role in addition to the obviousness of that rivalry.
The NFL decided that, not NBC.
And NBC is home to many famous sitcoms and dramedies, and the dramedy of Aaron Rodgers losing a gift-wrapped division to a team that started 1-5 is must-see TV to me.
