Fiona Robertson @fionaswriting.bsky.social · 20d

The Aberdeen Hotel-Shouting Team has managed to combine the 14 Words (global Nazi slogan) with a poppy banner celebrating infamous antifascists. Incredible work.

photo of pre-protest barriers draped with far right banners including one saying 'BeCause HUMza Thinks SCOTLAND IS TOO WHITE WE MUST SECURE THE EXISTANCE OF OUR PEOPle FOR AND A Future for WHITE CHILDREN!' and one with a picture of a remembrance poppy and silhouettes of soldiers. there are also ones saying 'anti racism just means anti white' and 'immigration referendum now'

The biggest problem both parties have is that the country’s biggest teams are either diverse, progressive, or both. And the last two times that the far-right went against football (taking the knee at Euro 2020, the BBC boycott after Lineker’s suspension) it was humiliated. Let’s see what happens.

Musa Okwonga @okwonga.bsky.social · 10h

Both Reform (printing that blue football shirt) and the furthest right
of the Conservative Party (Jenrick‘s comments on Birmingham) are obsessed with trying to gain cultural capital through football. They haven’t managed to own that space yet, but they’re going to try.

I hate to do this, but i'm in need of an extra $100 to finish up some MS Texas prep for this month.

if anyone has anything extra they wouldn't mind donating or loaning it would be very helpful.

For the record I only have one of these accounts because I was forced to in order to keep playing Minecraft!

I strongly dislike Microsoft and I don't plan on ever buying an Xbox. Using Microsoft products as it is feels like coersion from having no choice.

I don't know why they're sending me this message when my account is already set to Japan.

Either way, I'm not sending in an ID for some stupid policy in a country I no longer live in. The "Online Safety Act" is a bunch of censorious nonsense.

Screenshot of the XBox app showing that my language is set to English (UK), but my region is set to Japan, therefore the previously mentioned legislation does not apply to me.

You can go fuck yourself Xbox

An email from Xbox demanding I comply with British ID verification laws, despite the fact I no longer live in the UK.

At Xbox, we are committed to providing players with a safe and secure experience on our platform. In collaboration with the community, publishing partners, and industry regulators, we frequently iterate on our safety measures to ensure we are offering the safest player experience.

As part of our compliance program for the UK Online Safety Act and our ongoing investments in tools and technologies that help ensure age-appropriate experiences, we need you to verify your age so you can continue enjoying social features on Xbox.

Please feel free to disregard this email if you’ve already verified your age via the verification process.

We’re partnering with Yoti, a trusted, third-party identity verification provider, to give you a menu of options for how to securely verify your age. Starting early next year, age verification will be required for you to retain full access to social features on Xbox, such as voice or text communication and game invites. Until verification is completed, access to these features will be limited to friends only.

While choosing not to verify your age by early 2026 will limit your ability to use social features on Xbox, your previous purchases, entitlements, and gameplay history and achievements will not be affected, and you will still be able to play and purchase games. We encourage parents and caregivers of children or teens who use an Xbox console to set up child or teen accounts, which allow them to manage gaming activities like screentime, spending limits, privacy and content settings, and more using the Xbox Family Settings app. You can learn more at www.xbox.com/en-GB/family-hub.

To maintain full capabilities of social features on Xbox, including messaging, chat, and game invites, please verify your age by going to https://aka.ms/XboxUKAgeVerification.

this means that your computer will be always listening to you, btw, in the way that an alexa-type device is. In order for "hey, copilot!" to work, it *has* to be listening to you at all times. That doesn't mean you're being recorded, or data is being stored, but be aware.
