Tuesday was #BlackoutTuesday, when high-end emporia and fashionable brands all blacked out their logos in solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter. I'm thinking of starting #PlywoodThursday, when SteynOnline covers up its logo with a sheet of plywood in solidarity with all those convenience stores and all-night pharmacies trying to ward off the looters. Perhaps we'll get a hashtag - #FunctioningSocietyMatters, if only to a few of us. The New Normal and the Old Normal operate simultaneously: it's illegal to barbecue a steak in your backyard but feel free to barbecue the entire supermarket you got it from. The internal contradictions of Lockdownistan holding state-approved riots are no problem for a skilled commissar like New Jersey Governor Phil ...

Welcome to Part Six of the latest audio entertainment in our series Tales for Our Time. For this season of anarchy, we're enjoying a tale of anarchy from the Edwardian era - The Man Who Was Thursday by G K Chesterton. Mark Steyn Club member Gary Alexander is impressed by the author's prescience: My oh my, is Chesterton ahead of times or what?

Professors are instructing kids on defacing or destroying artwork or statues representing our evil past. All this resonates with GKC's enlightened copper lecturing Syme: "We say that the most dangerous criminal now is ...
