Strictly based on where the jagged points are and where the strokes end, I would say the word written was uůẃnwu.

This is a September 2017 editorial article, yet:

It’s strange that we’re at the point where this needs to be said: a black politician is not necessarily the best politician to promote black interests, and a female politician will not necessarily serve women’s interests better than a man would. Race produces a set of lived experiences that inform our political perspective, but identity cannot be used as a mitigating factor for political shortcomings.

And

But writing off Clinton’s leftist critics as necessarily motivated by gender bias was sexist in itself.

Are a couple things that still are pervasive as then among the Democrat party and some of the left, after eight whole years.

Like racism, misogyny, transphobia and other xenophobia come out like a river of sludge from the conservative right wing, and Democrats pick and choose little bits of this bigotry to float in their messaging to write off their critics, as if they were going fishing in this sludge.

I think every bit of thought people put into their purchasing choices is a good thing.

If you can find suitable Canadian replacements to American products, and products from American owned or funded businesses, without going broke, all the power to you. But don't think that if you haven't been able to change all of it that you failed. Each person doing what the can adds up. Encourage people to do it to whatever level they can, suggest Canadian alternatives you use or become aware of.

Unlike a conservative political campaign, Pride is not measured by how much money gets poured in from corporate sponsors.

You might be thinking of shareholders.

Here, it means getting input from everyone involved, which does include game publisher corporations and their lobbyists but also includes technical experts like developers and also includes consumers and consumer rights advocates like Ross.

The signature gathering period concludes at the end of this month, then signatures are validated over a period of three months, then consultation happens between stakeholders in the months after that, and then eventually a rule is developed.

Good reporters only talk about how Trump is such a gweat wittle pwesident.

Good catch, seems like an oversight.

Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.

Now it is past 1.3M!

Ross is targeting 1.4M or more signatures, keep recruiting for more signatures until the end of July.

Still important to track how much of a buffer we can get before the end of the month.

Concepts of a plan for a trade deal. No deal imminent or expected before the G7.

 

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.
