This is great, he is politically slightly left leaning (for a democrat), but can absolutely score points with conservative, rural Americans as that's where he comes from and how he talks. He has a clean bill and is just overall a very charming person with great interview game. He's the one who first loudly expressed how "weird" the GOP and Trump are.

With him Minnesota Democrats were able to codify abortion rights into law, increase transgender rights protections, pass a marijuana legalization bill and install new gun safety laws.

“As governor, he’s embraced the idea that it’s really important to invest in people and infrastructure to grow the economy,” Blodgett said. “And to do it in a way that really helps people in the middle and down below. To me, it’s just a huge focus on economic issues that are kitchen table issues that people care about.”

You're not allowed to, but you definitely can.

Just the Flu

• 1,649 days since Elon Musk said Coronavirus would be similar to the flu. (1/31/2020)

"There is considerable conflation of diagnosis & contraction of “corona”. Actual virality is much lower than it would seem. I think this will turn out to be comparable to other forms of influenza."

DW is pretty good. They get called left leaning by Americans, but that's just because leftist policies have a well known reality bias.

Ok, yes, hero

Am out of the loop, who is she? Why is she a hero? Why wouldn't she be?

Not it curiously actually worked for me, but thank you.

Praying to Hugo Weaving should be as effective as praying to Joe Pesci

The greatness of Rage Against the Machine is that their music is always relevant. The depressing thing about Rage Against the Machine is that their music remains relevant.

The argument is that it's especially important for women, but everyone should get it. German law will not see this implemented for only one gender. They are making the argument about women working from home for two reasons:

1. Virtue Signaling to a base that is especially concerned with the systemic disadvantage for women. (In this case virtue signaling is not a bad thing, because it mobilizes voters)
2. Because the governing coalition is centre-left the Greens are framing it in a way to sell it to the conservative opposition. For years the conservatives have been arguing about how we have too few kids in Germany and how it's because women prioritize their career. So this is good framing to onboard some opposition votes in parliament.
