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?

Definitely reads like an early April fool's

Based on what she did to the Supreme Court in her final years, this all tracks.

If this award is for "women of distinction", does that mean they are calling the guys a ? Just wondering.

You Ruth Beder-believe it!

All gender insanity aside, who looks at what musk has been doing lately and thinks “this guy deserves an award for this”?

Also Stallone. I don’t even know what he’s been up to since, like… the Expendables came out.
