Another #Brexit bonus. British-born dual citizen cannot enter the UK on their non-UK passport. Unlike foreigners they cannot travel to Britain on a visa or an ETA, but they must have a UK passport. Yet lapsed UK passports may not be renewed in case of name change, particularly for women (e.g. married vs. maiden name). It's a fine mess.

""She's a Gavin fan-girl and she doesn't crush on many people," one former Pelosi aide said. "I will say this: She's hardly ever wrong. When she says she sees something, it's a real thing.""

Just finished "Song of A Blackbird" by Maria van Lieshout. It's an excellent and extremely timely historical fiction graphic novel about rediscovering a family connection that was severed by war, and the Dutch Resistance figures under Nazi occupation who saved many lives, in some cases at the cost of their own.
Despite being fiction, it's very closely grounded in historical facts, and the inclusion of photographs within the illustrations is really cool.
Now is an interesting time to be thinking about the fates of Nazis, collaborators, their victims, and the resistance, as well as how we remember them all. I especially liked the section at the end about the real historical figures and their fates. So "fascinating" that none of the Nazis were executed or died in prison (mostly they did serve long terms before their release), even those who oversaw mass killings and deportations to concentration camps. I'm a prison abolitionist and not a fan of state capital punishment, so on *some* level this seems like an outcome I should be happy about, but I somehow doubt that the state was this lenient for all prisoners during this time period...

btw this isn't in any way a criticism of the author, I'm just a lil confused at what's even happening here. I happen to be a huge fan of Dagogo (hes better known as ColdFusion on YT) and have been watching his stuff for years

but, I'd much rather pay Waterstones £5 for a hardback than Amazon £7 for a paperback lol

I adored Halo: Infinite's campaign. It was fun & beautiful & I didn't care about Multiplayer, Forge or Microtransactions... but I REALLY wanted Coop & DLC for the campaign.
Now that Slipspace has been dropped for Unreal, I have hope the funding can be redirected to content & function for Halo.Next.
