Ruth Bader Ginsburg, at 85-years-old, is the eldest member of the U.S. Supreme Court. On Thursday, November 8th, she suffered three broken ribs after a fall in her office. Ginsburg, who has long been a reliably liberal voice on the court, is beloved by Democrats nationwide, and her health is a consistent concern—especially considering Republican President Donald Trump has already had the opportunity to nominate two staunchly conservative Supreme Court Justices in the first two years of his presidency.
When news broke of Ginsburg's fall, Twitter was quick to offer whatever services were necessary to make sure she is ok:
Whatever RBJ needs, Twitter is eager to get it to her.
Twitter may have to come to terms with the fact that not everything can be solved with a crowdfunding campaign.
Ultimately, most of the internet's jokes came from a place of fear.
The most popular response to the news, by far, was the offer of a rib transplant.
Of course, there may be better solutions.
Whether or not any of them were actually helpful, I'm sure RBJ will rest just a little bit easier knowing people everywhere are wishing her well and hoping for her swift recovery.
