![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.

![A screenshot of the Wikipedia page for disemvowel. The text reads: After Jeff Bezos acquired The Washington Post in 2013,[16] one of his ideas was to install a feature that allowed a reader to "disemvowel" an article they didn't enjoy, the idea being that another reader would have to pay to reinstate the vowels. Shailesh Prakash, the newspaper's chief product and technology officer, said "the idea didn't go far".[17]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lfm72wh7apaevdeu4n363csc/bafkreif5kbk4fujrw3swwbxrim4rtld7e2hes75nik5giyojmyylaaumpa)
