How did we get off the playa? It wasn't easy...here's but one true account of the challenge we all felt...and faced. #burningman #brc2023 https://youtu.be/4stKia7TOiY?si=Mtu5fehqcRCTzOEh

Wenn man sich #BurningMan so anschaut war es wahrscheinlich gut, daß Woodstock ein einmaliges Ereignis war :-)

It has been enjoyable to watch the karma debt of #burningman come due in a huge way. This isn’t some harmless hippie commune. It is a titan of excess. https://gizmodo.com/burning-man-s-climate-reckoning-has-begun-1850819525

#steelers offense still trying to get home from #burningman

BurningMan was spectacular this year! This year the effigy was Canada's Forests.
....Next year BurningMan will burn allll of the garbage that the privileged, ignorant patrons of the festival left behind in the mud.

The Real Burning Man Was A Rejection Of The Media Narrative https://uproxx.com/life/burning-man-2023-real-story/ #BurningMan

“Bon Appetit sent a photographer to document what Burning Man attendees ate. Then a historic storm blew in, our photographer got stuck, and Burners started conserving food and water.”

This morning it was down to just two vehicles (not counting the burnt out RV husk) and an abandoned u-haul trailer stuck on the #burningman gate road. Gate road is a bloody mess. Lotta entitled folk bailing during the weather put down items for traction when stuck and then left that shit out.

To say nothing of the bags of human waste.

Trash man was chill, and only one unauthorized *REDACTED* was thrown in the fire. Love the pre/post rituals of #burningman

Why was I offline and away from my blog? I went to the #DirtRave. Yes, I was one of the 70,000+ people stuck in the mud at this year's #BurningMan, and when I emailed my editor at the #NYTimes to say I might be late on the op-ed I was working on, she asked me to write about what this year's mud crisis meant:

If you watched #TheGreatHack, which opens with footage from #BurningMan (typically not allowed and circulated) and asked yourself “hey how’d they get permission to shoot” …well now you know why.

Director and team behind #TheGreatHack is working on the definitive #BurningMan docuseries https://deadline.com/2023/09/burning-man-docuseries-in-the-works-rain-chaos-30-years-of-archive-1235540766/

Max Burns on the Burning Man festival and its (spurious) claims to be about imagining a new utopian society:

"Revelers come to Burning Man to bathe in the hypertight light of an inhibitionless celebration; but not every attendee is created equal. A census of the festival conducted in 2017 found that over three-quarters of attendees were white, while only 1 percent were Black."

Some people have the luxury of pretending. Other's do not.

“Most of the outrage on this is people wanting to dunk on #BurningMan, but it would be nice if some of this was general enthusiasm for the protection of public lands in #Nevada,” Donnelly said, adding that he viewed mining as a greater danger to Nevada's public lands.

@ratkins @Dr_Bombay oh there are issues to be dealt with for sure! But the hot takes and obvious schadenfreude are currently overwhelming. There is a big conversation to have about many parts of TTITD and how to make it even better but right now everyone is in "see, told ya" mode. #burningman #brc2023
