Homeless people lose medication in encampment sweeps: Medication, medical devices, IDs, and more. Plus, there's no publicly accessible storage facility for people to go pick up their things. With these crucial items in custody, it becomes harder for homeless people to survive and get off the streets. Prescriptions are nearly impossible to refill, and people may turn to street drugs to cope. Missing an ID makes everything harder. Read the rest of this Seattle Times report.

Iran's supreme leader makes a rare public sermon: It was rife with anti-US sentiment. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd of thousands that the United States is an "arrogant power" and that God had allowed Iran to "slap the face" of the country with its recent missile attacks. This appearance, meant to rally support after a tumultuous start to 2020, is the first in eight years. The content of the sermon circumvented how Iran accidentally shot at and brought down a civilian aircraft.

Goodbye, KeyArena: Naming rights for the new basketball and hockey stadium are being discussed. Alaska Airlines has called dibs on putting its name in the front entrance. When you enter the new arena (KING 5 has taken to capitalizing it like New Arena, and I think that's fun but I refuse to emulate it), you'll be entering the Alaska Airlines Atrium. The new arena won't open until 2021. Naming rights for the whole thing haven't been discussed, but you can bet your bottom dollar they will be.

A wet weekend lies ahead: Rain is on the way and snow for the mountains. Also, careful while driving this morning. It got nice and cold last night, so there's a good chance of black ice.

Oh... oh no: A Minneapolis TSA agent said she needed to pat down a Native woman's braids. She pulled the woman's hair behind her shoulders and snapped her braids as if they were reins for a horse. "Giddyup," the agent said. When the woman said that was not okay, the agent said it "was just in fun."

Trump assembles his impeachment legal team: Ken Starr, notably, investigated President Bill Clinton. Robert Ray wrote the final report on Clinton. Alan Dershowitz rounds out the pack. He famously defended O.J. Simpson.

Deaf man sues Pornhub: The suit alleges that Pornhub is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act because the site doesn't provide closed captioning for its videos. This just proves that some people really do watch porn for the story lines. I love when satire like this video becomes reality:


Remember the guy who filmed himself licking a tub of ice cream at Walmart? And then he put the ice cream back? When confronted, he said that he had purchased the ice cream after filming the video, a claim verified by police. Well, he has just pleaded guilty to criminal mischief.

Grammy's chief executive placed on leave: The award show is nine days away, and Deborah Dugan is out. Dugan has been accused of misconduct. Allegedly, an assistant complained that Dugan had a "bullying management style."

One of my favorite shows is returning! Have you watched High Maintenance on HBO? If not, what are you doing?
