Yes, Patagonia's viral 'Vote The Assholes Out' tags are real. But the slogan isn't new.

Patagonia's founder, Yvon Chouinard, isn't afraid to get political.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
