Fascists rule by fear and force, without regard to law. The Minnesota assassinations and the ICE kidnappings both illustrate the emergence of fascist power. When it’s impossible to tell whether the men with guns are random thugs or government agents, fear & force replace law as instruments of power.

1. In college, my part-time job involved, among other things, emptying dorm-room wastebaskets, including JFK, Jr.'s. 2. I got to speak to Bob Weir on the phone once, and he scolded me for saying that it was "a thrill of a lifetime." Bobby insisted that "It shouldn't be. I'm just like anyone else."

Much love to Landry Shamet tonight. Whatever his limitations are, he fights on defense. He’s done it all year long and his energy made a big difference tonight.

David Brooks, David French, Ross Douthat and Bret Stephens are not human beings. Human beings aren't capable of the thoughts expressed in their columns. Their work is produced by badly engineered software, which requires constant revision by a large staff.

So it’s playoff time and the Mavericks called on Rolando Blackman and won the draft lottery. What would have happened if Pat Riley had called on Blackman in Game 7? No. I’m still not over it. Not even on a night when the Knicks go up 3-1 on the Celtics.
