Reposted by laura olinSeth Rudy @sethrudy.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Lucy Steele in Sense and Sensibility is basically a sociopath. And she “wins.” She jilts Edward and marries the Big Money in the Good Family. No hesitation. No remorse. Austen understood that the Elinors and Edwards have to be happy in a world where sometimes sociopaths win. She’s so good. 3173

![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
