Reply to comment by OftheSorrowfulFace in TIL that the reason Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it 'macaroni' was because at one time macaroni was slang for something very fashionable or trendy by elephantsgraveyard
"Doodle" meant something like goofy. It's also where "dude" came from. "Dandy" meant a poof or fancypants.

When I saw "time capsule" in the headline I imagined a bunch of pirates, each putting a memento or trinket in a box then stashing it away for posterity like 4th graders.

So Marilyn Manson actually has nothing to do with her case. Thanks headline writer. Chatbot would have done better.

If you're worried about injuries, skip sports altogether and take up the piano.

Take it to court. It'll get thrown out because you have no standing. People have tried. The way it is now, nobody has standing, any case brought against them will get thrown out. (To have standing you must have been uniquely harmed or harmed more than other people by the govt.) They would have to use some of their collected data in a court case for someone to bring a 4th amendment case against them, but they dont do that. If the government needs data for a court case, they'll buy it from data brokers to skirt the 4th amendment.
