It’s supposed to be right-aligned with the post recommendation to the right (“Do you fear the rock or the hard place”) but a Firefox-specific CSS bug causes it to get mispositioned. We’re aware of the issue and working on it. A fix will be deployed soon.
What the heck. In a single comment you’ve made me dread the entirety of web development. As a developer, you have to compensate for a browser bug which was reported 8 months ago, and which presumably shouldn’t have to be your responsibility in the first place? That sounds infuriating. My sympathies.
It’s not so much that I thought this one instance was bad, as that I tried to extrapolate under the assumption that this was a common occurrence, in which case the extrapolation did not bode well. Naturally I still didn’t expect the situation to be as bad as the stuff you linked, yikes.
Bug report: What’s up with the bizarre rock image on the LW homepage in this screenshot? Here is its URL.

“First time?”
If you think that’s bad, just think about compensating for browser bugs which were reported 20 years ago…
