Bank Robberies Are Way Up in NYC
If you thought Bank robberies were a thing of the past, they’re not. In fact in NYC, there was a 42% jump in bank robberies in 2022 and the year isn’t even over yet. There have been 135 heists so far this year, although a would be bank robber doesn’t walk away with much of a fortune. On a recent heist in midtown, a man with a gun fled with about $760.
Same amount as they got in the old west.
NYC Woman Stabs Man in Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
The subway is no longer the most dangerous place to be in NYC, or at least its not the only place you can get stabbed. Earlier this week when a large table began to get rowdy arguing about their bill, a woman at a nearby table for 2 commented on the scenario, prompting someone from the fighting table to come over and insult her. So they start arguing drawing the attention of a man from the original table who started throwing punches. When one of his punches landed on one of the women at the table for two, her dining companion picked up a steakknife and plunged it into his back.
This is why they don’t have steak knives in prison. Time to switch to sporks.

Twitter’s founder and former owner reacted on Twitter yesterday to the situation now that Elon Musk is making changes on the platform. He wrote, “I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that. “I am grateful for, and love, everyone who has ever worked on Twitter,” Dorsey added. “I don’t expect that to be mutual in this moment…or ever…and I understand.”
Congratulations Jack you’re the new tom from MySpace.
Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. I realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.
