The unrest was there long before the capital incident, and at least a few people have wanted it to spread like wildfire, rather than send the wildfire to go fuck itself. The people who always talk about or try to hold everyone else accountable are seldom held accountable by anyone themselves, which makes any talk about accountability a joke in the first place.
People were already uneasy about the lockdowns before the masks, then protests went from being about George Floyd, a guy most of the protestors never met and never would have met, to being about shit that had nothing to do with George Floyd's death as an excuse to remove statues and vandalize other public areas, which is really not much different than what the election protestors are doing now. As long as the arsonists and warlords keep lighting fires and there's no consequences for them, there won't be much left to burn down, but the unrest will continue. This is the change some people said they wanted, when really sometimes things were as good as they were gonna get, and some people still fucked it all up by wanting everything to change.

1 Gentleman will be extinct soon, so there is now a league of the few that are left.
2) Those guys were not gentlemen, they were some rough men, extraordinarily rough.

Someone who tries the rebellious teenager image even though they were always the goody two shoes who behaved exactly within the rules as expected by authority figures, and got other people in trouble or spied on them as a kid.

An advantage for West Coast teams in basketball over East Coast teams, since basketball games are usually played later in the day than football games. It is especially an advantage on weeknights and the night before a work week begins (Sunday night). Playing a home game is at a regular time for a West Coast team, while it's running from 10 to after midnight for a team from the East, a time when most of the audience is asleep or has their back turned to a TV.
Pacific time wins games. It's not something a team from the West Coast has to fight against, it helps them out. It works for them, not against. The other teams from every other time zone are always on their time no matter what.

An asshole who was involved in making some of the best music of his times, but still doesn't know he's an asshole.
John Lennon got most of the shit about being arrogant, while sly Paul McCartney some people must think was too cool to be an asshole, or he pretends he doesn't hear people when they say he's an asshole. It doesn't make the Beatles anything less than the Beatles (a one of a kind band), but its who he was as a person in life.

Guy 1-Where are we going today?
Guy 2-We're collectively going where one girl wants us to, ask Helen of troy if you can get to her. They fucked with the wrong girl, she's a badass now dude.

Washington DC would have been a lot more interesting if it had been designed as Boogerville instead of Washington DC.
The White House would have been the Outhouse in Boogerville, but they had a fancy French designer come in and do it, do you think a French designer really gives a fuck about an American city? Politicans keep saying they're going to change it, but Washington is still not Boogerville, so what has changed?
