Sending the first all-women flight crew into space was supposed to be a watershed moment for….someone. Or something. But the internets were annoyed at the 11 minute “space mission” that seemed to be nothing but a PR stunt for rich women who were friends of or engaged to billionaires.

2. Top NFL Draft Prospect & Former LSU Standout Kyren Lacy Dies, Reportedly Took His Own Life During Police Chase

Kyren Lacy’s shocking death took over headlines this week when he died of an apparent suicide just days before a grand jury was meeting about his recent alleged hit-and-run. The 24-year-old LSU football star who had declared for the draft was apparently suffering from mental anguish from stories told in media and rumors spreading on socials that he was responsible for the death of a 78-year-old man.

He turned himself late last year in after he supposedly hit the man while allegedly driving recklessly and speeding in his car in Baton Rouge. Kyren and his lawyers maintained his innocence, but the pressures of so many people thinking he’s guilty, according to the lawyer, is what led to him taking his own life during a police chase this week. Kyren was reportedly arguing with a female family member when he fired off a gun and ran. Cop were called and they chased him down, until he ended the chase taking his own life.

His funeral services begin this weekend.

3. Birkins Made In China?! Chinese Manufacturers Are Exposing Luxury Brands Like Hermes & Louis Vuitton For Supposedly Making Their Luxe Goods In China

The trade war is seeing a new frontier….luxury brands possibly being exposed for lying about where their fine goods are made. Or…it could all just be propaganda with DHGate items.

Chinese warehouses are spilling the tea on ALLEGED manufacturers who are mailing Nikes, Lululemon, and luxury items. All in the name of a “gotcha” in the tariff wars. But some foks think it’s all propoganda for their dupes they’re known for.
