Calling Chris Rufo a “journalist” and not a fascist grifter who perpetually advocates for the worst elements of a 17th century society is a joke actually.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Over 9,000 fans were in attendance for Ilona Maher’s Bristol Bears’ debut. The 28-year-old rugby star had to tackle a queue of photo-seekers more than 250 yards long. Some had traveled across the Atlantic to see a player who now transcends her sport. nyti.ms/4gJmWPl
