23-year-old political influencer Harry Sisson was accused of sexual misconduct this week after a handful of women came forward with allegations he manipulated them into sharing nudes. He did this, they said, by concealing the fact that their primarily text-based relationships weren’t exclusive. Naturally, right-wing influencers tried to exploit the classically presenting egregious #metoo overreach, but here’s the thing: is it almost… too egregious? Who would ever come forward with an admission they willingly showed Harry Sisson their boobs? Or say he should be destroyed because of it? Meanwhile, the Left is looking for their own Rogan, and masculinity is their new obsession. Zoomers are cynical enough to not really care about the principles in play, and Harry has been haunted with accusations of homosexuality for years. A bunch of women calling him a scamp? That would help, not hurt. And so there it is, my latest clown world certainty: it’s gotta be an op.

Over 120 of “Europe’s top tech founders” are launching Project Europe, a €10 million fund to bribe, er, invest €200K in 18 to 25-year-olds to stay local, build start-ups, and fight against “brain drain” to the US. “The brain drain to the US is very real and it’s going to really damage the future of Europe unless something changes,” said Harry Stebbings, a venture capitalist spearheading the project. Now, I love our national pastime (dunking on the Europoors) as much as any other American — but it’s undeniably good to see Europe bet on its own tech brats for once instead of just fleecing America’s giants. So I mean it when I say: Godspeed Europe, and best of luck creating your own Vallée de Silicon. Show your plastic-cap-regulating Eurocrat overlords what it means to build. Because it’ll take a lot more than fining Google to catch up to the 21st Century.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams just returned to Earth. They were stuck on the International Space Station for nine months, but the public essentially didn’t give a shit until Elon and Trump accused Biden of delaying the rescue mission for political reasons, something NASA denies. Sigh. Space used to be a sacred frontier of “Fuck Yeah Go America!” — something we could all agree on (see: Tom Hanks as nonpartisan space daddy.) Now it’s just the latest frontier of the culture wars — despite all the badass reasons to be hopeful about the future we're building. SpaceX rescued the astronauts. That’s cool! And over the last few weeks, private companies put two landers (plus a very tiny datacenter) on the moon. If we need stupid arguments to care about all the incredible progress of private space exploration, I guess I’m for it? But a little more “one small step for man” energy would be cooler.

Cathie Wood of Ark Invest has publicly voiced strong confidence in Bitcoin, predicting it could hit $1.5 million by 2030, fueled by institutional adoption and favorable regulations. However, in 2024, she quietly sold portions of Ark’s Bitcoin holdings, possibly to dodge market volatility or refine her portfolio. On March 13, 2025, Arkham — a platform tracking real-time blockchain activity — spotted Ark Invest buying again, acquiring $80 million in Bitcoin from Coinbase. “Are you buying or selling, Cathie?” She’s publicly bullish, but her private actions remain intriguingly enigmatic.
