A Thanksgiving miracle from Bobby Wagner: The Seahawks linebacker was packing up Thanksgiving food for homeless families in West Seattle. Then he just up and bought people's groceries for 30 minutes. âWhen we were waiting, I saw everyone Thanksgiving shopping, and I thought it would be cool if when they went to the cash register they didnât have to pay,â Wagner said, according to KING 5. âSo I secretly tried to say that I was paying for their meals.â
Speaking of Thanksgiving: Being awake right now is pain. I'm sorry to everyone else who has to work today. Who let me have so much wine?
Seattle man stalked by masseur: A masseur on massagefinder.com stalked his client for months post-massage, the Seattle Times reports. After the massage, the masseur started texting the man asking him out on a date. The client declined. Then came the "coincidental" run-ins at the man's gym, the Starbucks near his house, and more. While he was out of town, the masseur allegedly littered garbage across his lawn and left a machete and crowbar next to the front door. The masseur allegedly threw paint on the man's car and his front door, put a tracking device in his car, and showed up naked on his front lawn. Twice.
Great news for rubble fans: And I guess fans of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seattle history. The viaduct giveawayâwhere you can take home your very own piece of crumbled concreteâhas been extended through December. All you have to do is e-mail Friends of the Waterfront and go pick up your piece of viaduct at their office at 1400 Western Avenue. Screw Black Friday deals, this is the holiday gift of the decade.

Ohio introduced a bill that orders doctors to "reimplant" ectopic pregnancies: And if they don't, they'll be faced with "abortion murder" charges. Ummmm. There's a lot to unpack here. But let's start with the fact that implanting ectopic pregnanciesâpregnancies that form in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus and are life-threatening for the motherâis impossible. There's also the whole "charged with abortion murder" thing for anyone who has or performs an abortion. Ohio is a mess right now.

Small interlude: Here's a picture of my cat, Juno. She's been hanging out with me while I write. I had to move from my desk because she kept walking on the keyboard. Also, writing while lying down is way easier. I think that's a scientific fact.

The biggest thing to come out of Disney+: Is this meme of Baby Yoda from the new streaming service's show The Mandalorian. I have not seen the show, nor do I understand why Yoda is a baby in it (I guess he would have to be a baby at some point? I don't know), but it sure is cute. Engagement on social-media posts of Baby Yoda is twice as high as any Democratic presidential candidate's social-media engagement.
Baby Yoda is driving almost twice as many average social media interactions as any 2020 Democrat. https://t.co/AJuzK07shS
