In an eyebrow-raising twist, Seattle’s own 24-year-old Leena Chang is making headlines not as an influencer, but as a serial bank robber. Yes, you heard that right! Allegedly equipped with a hyper-realistic airsoft gun and a flair for drama, Chang’s escapades included handwritten notes that got right to the point—like, “Give me cash, please!” Who needs a heist movie when the real thing is lurking just around the corner?
Meanwhile, in a completely different neighborhood of controversy, protesters from Jewish Voices for Peace disrupted traffic at Palantir’s office, calling out the tech giant for its ties to alleged war crimes in Gaza. It seems that while Chang is busy plotting her next big score, the activists are busy confronting the murkier side of tech that’s got more than just a whiff of scandal.
And as if that wasn’t enough, SoundTransit is sweating it out regarding the heat kink phenomenon, where rising temperatures could really mess with transit tracks. Can you believe it? While Chang is in hot water for her antics, the state has to deal with tracks that might buckle under the pressure—talk about a hot mess!
So here’s a thought: If you could turn your life into a heist film, what would your heist theme be? A comedy of errors, a thrilling escape, or a classic caper? Can’t wait to hear your ideas!
