Sounders win the MLS Cup: In front of a historically large CenturyLink Field crowd. There were 69,274 fans present to watch the Seattle Sounders beat Toronto FC 3–1 to secure their second MLS Cup. I'll be honest, I thought the beginning of the game was sloppy for the Sounders, and the defense had me worried all game. But the goals we scored (save for the first goal, which was an embarrassing own goal from Toronto) were well-deserved. When is the victory parade? (I googled. It's on Tuesday.)

Speaking of Seattle and winning things: You've heard by now that Amazon lost its attempt to buy the city council elections, right? As of Friday, Council Member Kshama Sawant has pulled ahead of her PAC-backed competitor, Egan Orion. By 1,500 votes. It's national news now.

Bezos and Bloomberg: Apparently, months ago, Jeff Bezos made a call to Michael Bloomberg. He allegedly asked Bloomberg if he'd consider running for president. Bloomberg said no, and then asked if Bezos would consider putting HQ2 in New York City as Amazon originally planned before backlash caused the company to pull the plug. Bezos said no. With Bloomberg now running for president, will Bezos throw his support behind him? We know how much he hates being taxed.

It never rains in California Australia: For maybe the first time in all of recorded history, there won't be a single raindrop across the entire 7.6 million square kilometer (someone convert that to miles, thanks) continent. It's been an abnormally dry season for Australia. Fire warnings are high, catastrophic even.

A dry and cloudy Veteran's Day: It will be mostly cloudy today. Rain will supposedly start back up again tomorrow.

Thanks to the clouds, we're missing this: The transit of Mercury is supposedly happening this morning. We (meaning people without full cloud cover, so not Seattleites) will be able to see Mercury silhouetted against the sun.

Judge rules against Value Village: The thrift store had been sued by Attorney General Bob Ferguson for misleading people. It had advertised itself as a charity when, in actuality, it was the "largest for-profit thrift retailer in the world." Penalties will be assigned in a hearing next spring. Value Village has not decided if it will appeal yet.

Teens arrested for alleged attempted carjacking: A 14-year-old and a 15-year-old were arrested on Saturday for allegedly attempting to jack a woman's car in the Highpoint neighborhood of West Seattle. They assaulted the woman and took her car, but they ditched the car when police caught up with them. They bailed and took off on foot through a park where a youth soccer game was being played. They ran through the game. Police caught one of the boys, the other was detained by two soccer parents and held for police.

San Francisco transit riders hold "eat-in": Last week, a man was handcuffed and cited by police at a BART station for eating a sandwich. The officer had allegedly walked past multiple other people eating and drinking to confront and cite the man for violating the rules, which state that passengers can't eat or drink in the paid areas of the station. About 30 people gathered this weekend to eat in protest at one of the eating-restricted areas in a BART station.

Tensions in Hong Kong reach a boiling point: A student died when he fell from a parking garage last week during demonstrations by protesters. The protesters have used his death to make him a martyr, another symbol of the police brutality that they are uniting against. On Monday, during a planned demonstration by protesters to disrupt transit, a police officer shot a protester as civilians looked on. In an unconnected event, protesters confronted with a citizen denouncing their movement lit the man on fire. Both victims are fighting for their lives. The protests continue. Here's some footage. Warning: It's not incredibly graphic, but it may be disturbing to some viewers:

Who would commit fraud like this? Voter fraud detected in the Guardian's Australian bird of the year poll. The Stranger is all too familiar with this kind of thing.

Drake gets booed off the stage: Tyler, the Creator hosted a music festival called Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles. There was a surprise headliner on Sunday. Fans assumed it was Frank Ocean. It turned out to be Drake. People were so disappointed, they booed him off the stage. Many were screaming, "We want Frank." Drake left the stage and the concert ended with no headliner performance.

Cool, cool, cool: At $75,560, housing a prisoner in California now costs more than a year at Harvard.

Donald Trump Jr. jumps ship at his own book signing: He was heckled off the stage by his own fans. The book is called Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us. Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, announced before the event that they would not be doing the Q&A session. Chants of "USA" turned into chants of "Q&A." The protests were supposedly aimed at Turning Point USA, the host of the book signing. Here's Guilfoyle defending Trump Jr. and telling supporters that they're probably online haters:
