Well now I'm just confused because the article describes the exact opposite. Is WaPo counting something different?

Slapped together a new banner for the #lemmy World News for Canadians sublemmy that I moderate. imho Lemmy is one of the few #Fediverse products that really does live up to its private counterpart - it's a better Reddit than Reddit, but traffic is lower. lemmy.ca/post/71424778 #canpoli
Banner showing the Great Lakes from space, with Lake Ontario centre-right.  Over the black void of space on the left is a smaller logo consisting of a white-bordered Earth emoji (showing The Americas) with a red Maple Leaf emblazoned on it.

Below the logo along the bottom edge of the banner shows a red-and-white line fading out as it approaches the clouds of right edge of the image.

3 years ago, I took the @wtyppod.bsky.social "more rigid" thing to heart and secured my dog fence gate with 1/8" threaded rod. It snapped in winter. @donoteat.bsky.social was right. Learned my lesson: I've upgraded to 1/4" stainless. If brute force doesn't work it means you're not using enough.

Unless the bank crash impacted spending power. That's what killed Biden/Harris. Not Palestine, not "old", not her ovaries. Inflation and gas prices. If in 2009 they'd let the banks burn and the economic turmoil had been worse, voters would've punished Obama *harder* regardless of being right.
