There are seemingly countless options for a new SUV these days, but less so if you’re looking for one that’s comfortable, roomy, and able to tackle snowy roads in the winter and outdoor adventures in the summer. Thankfully, a pair...

"I handed a US company my #passport, my #face, and the mathematical geometry of my skull. They cross-referenced me against credit agencies and government databases.

British Govt: Do you want to come back to Britain?
Me: No, I left over 20 years ago when I thought it was shit, and it appears to have got worse.
British Govt: Well if you do, you'll need a UK passport because you're a British citizen.
Me: I don't want to be a UK citizen, it's a shithole which I want nothing to do with.
British Govt: To renounce your citizenship, you have to do a bunch of stuff which will probably cost you $1000+.
Me: ....Just fuck off and become a state of the United States of Fascism so I am no longer a citizen.
So apparently the Department of State as halted the ability for non-profit libraries to do passport applications:

This doesn't affect my system as we're a governmental library, not a non-profit, but I know it's one of our biggest sources of income. So this is going to adversely affect a lot of libraries. Also going to put higher strain on the Post Office now that they'll be getting a lot more people coming in for applications.
Ugh.
The State Department has ordered nonprofit public libraries to stop taking passport applications, cutting off a popular local service. In late fall, the agency started sending cease and desist orders, which take effect on Feb. 13. It says these libraries cannot collect and keep passport processing fees under federal rules. Librarians say the service has worked for years and residents still call every day. Members of Congress from several states pushed back in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They call the change abrupt. Pennsylvania members of Congress have proposed a bill that keeps eligible nonprofit libraries in the program.
New passport rules for the UK as of the 25th of February.
UK nationals with dual nationality will soon have to use their UK passports to enter the UK.
So if you are in this position make sure that your UK passport is valid for travel to the UK.
A similar rule has applied to Canadian dual nationals for some years now when travelling to Canada.
We found this out the hard way just before our last trip there 🙃
