    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.]

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

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

            Thanks for the suggestion, though.

                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

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