Not soon after Elizabeth had persuaded Mr. Darcy to join her in a Scotch reel, were they flushed from exertion; their bodies vexed with desire. Elizabeth had wanted nothing more but to marry for love, believing matters of the heart must never consume one’s rationality, but Mr. Darcy’s sturdy bratwurst had been pressing up against her the whole eve, and she was filled with carnal desires.
And so, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, two grown adults of reasonable attractiveness, found themselves attempting to engage in fornication. With the servants sent away and the curtains drawn, they retired to his chamber to smash nether regions.

I'm reposting the whole seven posts here as written there, but I hope folks will take a look at that thread as folks are engaging in conversation over there that might be worth reading if what I have to say interests you. (The remainder of the post is the same that can be found in the Fediverse posts linked throughout.)
I suppose Fediverse isn't the place people are discussing Rob Reiner. But after 36 hours of deliberating whether to say anything, I feel compelled. This thread will be long,but I start w/ most important part:
Spitting venom and breathing fire and brimstone, we now see Trump’s presidency for what it is: the lashing out of a wounded giant as it comes to terms with its own decline — perhaps the point at which such people are at their most lethal.
