I haven't had a #CuntOfTheDay in a while because they're all cunts. But here's a new one: Olivia Nuzzi. She fucked RFK Jr. while covering him as a reporter. When he went bat-shit crazy on her (and he was going through confirmation hearings), she said nothing. But she can't say his name. Cunt.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

See also just any kind of benefits - I truly, TRULY do not give one shit if someone is committing fraud if it means a lot more people get the benefits. There are already enforcement mechanisms there; we don't need to just make them super hard to get for people who need them.
I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ
