“Lights! Cameras! Action! The scene is a heavily hyped but quickly slapped together peace summit in the late summer of this year of our lord Satan 2025. The setting is Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, some relic of the last cold war’s apocalypse culture on the desolate outskirts of Anchorage, Alaska. Our leading men are one Donald J. Trump, a dayglow corporate-welfare rapist who somehow failed his way to the top of an empire too big to fail without a goddamn apocalypse, and Vladimir Putin, a cold-blooded KGB thug who spent the post-Soviet years breaking legs for neoliberal oligarchs before reinventing himself as some kind of quasi-fascist heartthrob for self-loathing, alt-right, closet queens to toss off to between podcasts.” (08/24/25)
