The legendary athlete & greatest member of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, passed away after a helicopter crash in SoCal. He was only 41. His daughter also died in the incident at only 13. The most shocking death of a good person in 2020 & among the most shocking for all of sports & especially basketball. This should be way higher for such reason. It became 1 of the top biggest highlights of 2020 & the 21st century. R.I.P. Kobe Bryant (& his daughter) 1978-2020.

When Vine was launched, it gained a lot of usage from millions. It was an app with 6 second looping videos. Unfortunately Twitter killed it off after 4 years. TikTok (which has 15-60 second looping videos) seemed to try replacing it though it failed at that. Thankfully the original creator practically brought it back with Byte, a new app with looping videos also 6 seconds long & has monetization which is a key part to why a lack of led to Vine shutting down. R.I.P. Vine 2013-2017 & welcome back (Byte).

This particular war was unnoticed by many in 2020 due to the planet being obsessed with coronavirus, Black Lives Matter and the American election.
The region (which is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan) had been occupied by Armenia since 1994 but in this war Azerbaijan regained most of the land and the war is more significant than most assume for four reasons.
1. The war is a proxy-war between Russia and Turkey due to Armenia being an ally of Russia and Azerbaijan being an ally of Turkey.
2. The war was fought with drones and cyberwarfare and is very much a glimpse of the future of warfare, similar to how the American Civil War foreshadowed the warfare of the 20th century.
3. The war demonstrated that a frozen conflict can end with a nation regaining their land. We can assume that Georgia, Moldova, Morocco and Ukraine (four nations whom Azerbaijan has close relations with) can learn many lessons from Azerbaijan's victory.
