Ultimately, everything is political. I forget who actually said it, but the aphorism that we do not have to take an interest in politics for politics to take an interest in us is absolutely true—and it’s of vital importance to the present situation.

More importantly, Acti-Blizz (and the NBA, and South Park) took a…

Wow. Thanks for sharing this.

I worked QA on Black Ops III at the El Segundo Activision location, placed by Volt. We were paid a base wage of $10/hour, and initially the hours were 8am-6pm Monday thru Saturday. Crunch time we worked 7am-7pm every single day of the week.

I’m guessing the authorities regularly check his online orders for irregular amounts of baskets and lotions?
