Those who attend Burning Man want a story to tell. They have one. The rest of us are at work so we can pay rent.

Everybody wants to be apocalyptic until it's time to do apocalyptic shit...

Tell them to clean up all the trash that they leave behind every year. Amazing, this is getting more coverage than the Maui fires.

Theres more media attention for these rich spoiled people than the disasters of Ohio or hawaii

I don’t fully understand this one? Why is this getting so much media attention? Pickup trucks are driving around full of people… they’re not on an island…. No one here is stranded lol. No one’s life is in danger….

All that's missing is the fire and brimstone.

I’m guessing no one thought to check the weather forecast?

Burning Man — for those who STILL want to experience 90s-era kookiness.

Wow, they had to walk for miles. I’m old and retired and do that every day for exercise

Only 1 thing to do:

That’s right - scream at everybody driving a gas car.

A muddy mess for people participating in ridiculousness. God sending a message y’all sorry. That double rainbow is a big sign.

[bac]

I really don’t feel bad for any of them. Between the thousands that attended, none of them were smart enough to look at the weather forecast.

🤨I find it interesting and upsetting that the media seems to be focusing more on the story of some Mud at Burning Man, than the developing stories of the Maui, Hawaii Fires... very interesting 🤔

[socalfriend]

And now the festival 🎎 is called 'Muddy Man'
