  1. My wallet has seen better days. So I'm looking at new wallets and…

    WTF? Why are people putting note pockets in a wallet but not a zipped bit for coins? Do they expect you to occasionally need to pay in cash, but never get less than £5 in change?

    Or is this some weird Americanism where even the dollar is a note and so you just keep throwing the coins in charity collection boxes?

    [Full alt text -- I ran out of space!]

    1. Trump in a suit, raising his fists, surrounded by flames.
    Text: America 2025 - Everything is going great!

    2. Sen Joni Ernst & RFK Jr.
    Text: 1. Wise & capable officials at every level of government!
    RFKJr: We're canceling funding for a bird flu vaccine! Healthy people won't get sick! Somebody get me a glass of RAW MILK, goddammit!
    Ernst: What's the big deal? We are ALL going to die!

    3. Trump, with werewolf JD Vance & vampire Stephen Miller.
    Text: 2. A celebration of our glorious leader on the auspicious anniversary of his blessed birth!
    Trump: Big strong tanks go vroooom!
    Vance: They certainly do, sir!
    Miller: The sunlight -- it burns!

    4. The Statue of Liberty flanked by two masked men (ICE agents).
    Text: 3. Secret masked police protecting us from the enemies of the state!
    Man 1: We caught THIS scheming immigrant encouraging huddled masses and wretched refuse to come to OUR country.
    Man 2: We don't put up with that crap in Donald TRUMP's America!

    5. 2 panels.
    Text: Things Couldn't be more normal!
    Panel 1 shows Elon with a black eye on his phone. The other shows Trump on his phone.
    Elon: Trump is in the Epstein files! He is a big pedophile and I got him elected! For some reason I believe posting this will make me look better.
    Trump: Elon "Bladder Man" Musk is a VERY nasty Person! H has such nice Factories, it would be a shame if someone "nuked" them!

    6. The White House.
    Text: 5. The future's so bright, we gotta send in the National Guard!
    Trump (from inside the WH): I'll show this stupid country who's in charge if I have to arrest every single person in it! Somebody call that Bukele guy and see if he built any prisons yet.
    Lackey (from inside the WH): Right away sir!

  3. So, slightly annoyed that #TomTomorrow isn't using alt-text on his cartoons. I want to post them, but it will have to be when I have the energy to write. Was glad to see #TheModernWorld appearing on the #InTheseTimes website though!
