So why is the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation handing out awards in the name of RBG?

Can just anyone do that?

She established the award with them, while she was still alive.

[Edit: they've since changed the criteria for the award.]

Another RBG L

Yeah, it’s nice that she did some good stuff decades ago, but her immediate legacy is dog shit.

I see - thanks for the info…

It was in the article. If you have a question like that, it's a good idea to read the article.

I did but I suppose I lost that section amongst all the ads interspersed through the article.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Might I suggest Ublock Origin? Never browse without it.

I do have ABP installed. I leave the “Acceptable Ads” option on which usually accomplishes what I want. Not sure how Rolling Stone’s ads are getting qualified as “acceptable” though.

I enabled “Reader” mode for RS by default in Safari now so it won’t be a problem again

Bah! Pros just fire off half-baked knee-jerk comments based on misunderstanding bad headlines! That’s where the money is! Ain’t nobody got time to rEaD tEh aRtIcUls!!!

Someone should make an RBG award for refusing to retire long after it's obvious you should have. First posthumous award to Diane Feinstein.
