The Bold Italic
Calligraphy by Comrade Nicole Clark

Здравствуйте, comrade reader! (This Russian for “hello.”)

My name Dmitri. I new commissar-in-chief of Bold Italic, now subsidiary of Russian State Media Enterprises. We are unbiased, nonpartisan news source wholly owned by Kremlin. (Do not worry — same Bold Italic, now translated “жирный курсив.”)

We thrilled to bring news coverage of American San Francisco culture under new Premiere Trump!

Hail powerful Premiere Trump!

When I write this, unpaid American magazine intern tell me, “Dmitri, election not until next week.” But you know what I say? I pat intern head affectionately and say, “Little prole, in Russia, government know election winner long before votes cast.”

Anyway, articles from the week.
