Over 70,000 people at Burning Man are trapped, sheltering-in-place and being told to conserve resources after rains swamped Black Rock City. https://t.co/OB1L55BqBL

Burning Man, the music-and-art festival thing held in Nevada every year, is in its flop era. Endless rains have made the festival grounds wet, muddy, and depressing. Around 70,000 people have been ordered to shelter in place, as the mud has closed off roadways in all directions. Attendees and influencers, who usually post content online to make people feel jealous, are posting content of themselves trudging through lakes of mud, getting their weird Burning Man outfits soaked, and generally being miserable. Many people do not have proper boots and rain gear, as they expected warm weather. There was a double rainbow, though, and the hippies really did enjoy that.

Is it wrong to be morbidly curious about how radical self reliance & communal vibes will work in reality now that #BurningMan2023 crowd has to shelter in place?
Wonder how tech bros will go? Can’t fly out in theory – who has power in a no cash economy?https://t.co/HZeMyGfgfg

There are a lot of things to be grateful for today. One of those things is that you’re not at Burning Man. pic.twitter.com/YeqzzRxAxR
