There's a particular honesty to the magazine cover as a form. It doesn't pretend to inform. It takes a face, frames it in authority, surrounds it with competing claims for attention, and sells it. Celebrity and power have always understood each other here.
New Objectives in my ongoing series Current Affairs — applies that logic to a White House press briefing from March 18, 2026. Trump's reality doesn't even need distortion of the image. No editorial intervention beyond the choice of form. The cover of TRIUMPH simply places Karoline Leavitt's smile inside the visual grammar that they already use to legitimize their actions.
The cover lines are (almost) real. Every headline is drawn from things actually said or meant, in public, on camera, into microphones, about a war whose stated objectives changed three times in three weeks.
"We've defined the objectives very clearly."
The smile did not flicker.
Disposable by Tuesday. Collectible by history.
New Objectives (CA–001) / March 2026

This week’s #cyberFriday we would like to encourage you to read an article from our archive. It provides an analysis of the way in which modern communication technologies have enabled the proliferation of disinformation, both organically arising and intentionally manufactured.
“One of the core changes at the heart of the formation of today’s information environment has been the shift in emphasis from a supposed ‘information age’ towards a ‘post-truth era’. … Indeed, while previously the Internet was itself seen as a ‘liberation technology’, enabling networked individuals to self-organise in a struggle for democracy and freedom, currently the attention has shifted to the opposite end of the spectrum, namely manipulation, disinformation, and information warfare.”

“Post-Truth and Information Warfare in their Technological Context” by Ignas Kalpokas – now even more relevant, available in open access on our website: https://www.acigjournal.com/Post-Truth-and-Information-Warfare-in-their-Technological-Context,190407,0,2.html

After a break, I’m back to writing. Adding my voice to the ever-growing chorus of podgy middle-aged men on the internet, I’ve written a TL;DR essay about John Carpenter’s The Thing: hyperrealism, viral horror, post-truth, and performed masculinity. If that’s your kind of ding…

Ukraine update: life in the "post-truth" age demonstrated by third-hand reports of medial outlets, which contrast wildly with the truth observed on the ground.

Hard to report the truth of war when you never leave the hotel lobby.
