What in the name of all the Earth and its domains and the heavens above is this asshattery?

The family of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is very much up in arms at something called the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation over its decision to give a leadership award named after the former Supreme Court justice to **drumroll* … *Elon Musk.

. . . Oh yeah, Rupert Murdoch is also getting this year’s Leadership Award, along with Martha Stewart (weird but whatever), Michael Milken (what?), and Sylvester Stallone (no, seriously, fucking what?).

. . . The award is all of four years old, and has previously gone to “individual women of prominence.” Did we run out of those or something?

    Yeah, agree…this woman’s colossal fucking hubris is in perfectly appropriate company with the likes of Elon Musk. If she hadn’t been so colossally egotistical, and retired sometimes around 2013 or so, the supreme court would be a lot less fucked today.

      I think a lot of ppl have issues with being critical of her because she was the second woman on the Supreme Court. Either way she was not a Saint and should be judged based on the merits or her career. Her legacy will ultimately be a shining example of why there should be term limits for justices.
