There aren't a lot of adults *anywhere* who act like children **with the resources and freedoms of adults.** If the good lord sees fit to give you a high-6-fig salary & the most playful thing you can think to do is buy a hula hoop or wear a tutu, you're brokenhttps://twitter.com/CathyReisenwitz/status/1163154726818463745 …

I think the directors @ bm, some of whom I've (briefly) met, are in a tough spot. Weirdos, perhaps prescient or perhaps just sufficiently self-aware, decided to Do Real Fun in a way that could cause trouble. That this had to become institutionalized to persist was inevitable.

Burning Man Is Worse This Year is a meme for a reason, an unavoidable one. The kids will find their own beaches to burn their makeshift men on

some things get worse, some things get better

My point is that the service provided is a different one today (or... in a week) than it was 20 years ago. That's unavoidable, not necessarily bad — filters are down & accessibility is up. It's moving to a different position on the weirdo funnel

Reaaally seemed like you were implying it was bad.

Well, it's sad that it's not the rarer thing it was before. It's good that it's capturing the Coachella/LiaB base and giving them the room for personal expansion. I've experienced bm from a dusty tent & from within a much-maligned turnkey. Don't want to judge.
