Not a raincoat, a fashion statement

Black Rock City 2026 rises in the Nevada desert from August 30 to September 7th, 2026. Theme: Axis Mundi.

• [Axis mundi is the "world mountain," Buddhism's Mt. Sumeru, sometimes seen as Tibet-China's Mt. Kailash in the Himalayas, a synthetic peak that is far too small to meet the requirements of the descriptions given in Buddhist cosmology, and at other times regarded as Mt. Kunlun in China, the World Tree Norse Yggdrasil, or the more sensible axial tilt.]

Will the free Orgy Dome be back this year?

The Axis Mundi celebrates our interconnectedness, our shared social realities, and our ties to this natural world. Final ticket sales for Burning Man 2026 are open now. No registration is required. Buy tickets now through Black Rock City Tickets or subscribe for fresh Black Rock City updates.

Ooh, I always wanted to try that, and what happens in the desert stays in the desert, right?

 

Black Rock City is ephemeral. Every year is beautifully unique. The massive desert city rises for just eight days then disappears without a trace (well, some trace but there is a zero-footprint ethos the festival tries to live by, even if not all participants keep to it).

In 1906 Coal miners encountered Lizard People in the Nevada caves

Dinosauroid - Reptilian humanoid

(Into the Past) Nov. 13, 2025: In 1906, a remote Nevada coal crew uncovered something no miner was meant to see — a hidden chamber beneath the ridge containing strange markings, fresh drag trails, and footprints that didn’t belong to any living person.

When the lanterns flickered and tapping sounds traveled through the stone floors, the men realized they weren’t alone in the dark.

Race of nagas

This full-length historical horror story follows the miners as they descend deeper into the hill, discovering the truth behind the tunnels and the reptilian creatures (nagas) rumored by the local Shoshone Native Americans. What began as routine coal work quickly turned into a night of terror, vanishing men, and an encounter no one escaped unchanged.

Burning Man Days 5-6: Burn vs. Rain

More chaos at Burning Man! Torrential rains turn Playa [saline salt basin of ancient inland sea] into [alkaline clay dust sludge] mud pit - 70,000 stranded

(Disaster Weather) Aug. 31, 2025: BLACK ROCK DESERT. What began with a sandstorm tearing apart camps [and destroying this year's Orgy Dome] and art quickly spiraled into something even worse.

Heavy rains turned the Nevada playa ("beach") into a seven-mile-wide mud pit, swallowing bikes, stranding vehicles, and forcing everyone to walk and gates to close once again.

One man was airlifted after a suspected electrocution in the flooded desert [from electrical equipment getting wet and people going barefoot], while thousands more struggled through the bone-chilling nights, abandoned bicycles, and mud-soaked shelters.

With all passenger flights grounded, cars stuck axle-deep, and festivalgoers posting desperate updates, Burning Man 2025 is being called one of the most miserable editions in its history.

[This is not an error or accident by Nature, just part of the experience that is part and parcel of Burning Man, flowing with the elements come what may.]

Burning Man Day 5, going strong, silent

Burning Man at night 2025!

(Breeze Offroad) Aug. 29, 2025: BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada - 🔥 Burning Man is a week-long, radically creative gathering held annually in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada. It’s not a music festival, not a trade show, and definitely not an average [basic b*tch] party. Well, then, what is it? —It’s a temporary city built from scratch by tens of thousands of active and creative participants who come to share art, ideas, and experiences. #burningman2025 #burningmanfestival #blackrockcity

• Our de facto correspondent (Escaping Normal Life) has gone silent. Are we worried? No. Maybe he's having a near death experience or something life-altering. The show must go on. Readers want to know, so here's the update:

Burning Man has an "Orgy Dome"?

BURNING MAN 2025 ORGY DOME: On August 27, 2025, it was revealed that the desert festival's "Orgy Dome," which had been a popular and active free love party scene at the festival since 2003, had collapsed due to sudden and very strong desert winds [61 ("Burning Man's Orgy Dome has been destroyed")]. It was afterwards announced that the sex tents would be restored [62]. Gates also closed on different occasions due to bad weather, with at least one festival attendee being electrocuted [63]. More

Pedophile Israeli Jewish top cyber official

I'm won't let them prove me guilty.

(The Young Turks) Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uyghur discuss how top Israeli official (in charge of cyber matters) arrested, accused, and released to flee back to Israel Tom Alexandrovich. He surprisingly missed his court hearing and may never return to the U.S. to face felony charges after his arrest in a Las Vegas sting operation, where he was caught trying to entice a minor into sex using an electronic device. He is in charge of the Israel National Cyber Directorate, so he probably knows how to use and hide such devices. But the sting caught him, he was arrested, cited, and told to return for his court appearance. He fled to Israel, which is very reluctant to extradite child molesters, predators, and other unsavory criminals, and most of them are not government officials like Swedish Israeli Zionist Jew Alexandrovich, a personal acquaintance and likely friend of Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

Burning Man 2025 Daily Vlog: Surviving the Playa, One Day at a Time

(Escaping Normal Life) Aug. 26, 2025: Step into the heart of Burning Man 2025 with my daily vlog series, where I document what it’s really like to survive on the playa [Black Rock City's ancient beachfront]—dust, art, chaos, and all.

From battling whiteout sandstorms and extreme heat to exploring mind-blowing art installations and wild camps, this vlog gives a raw, unfiltered look at life in Black Rock City.

Whether one is a first-timer preparing for a journey or just curious about the Burning Man experience, see how I handle the challenges of dust storms, food, de-hydration, sand camping, and staying safe while also diving into the magic of this mystical [sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll] event.

Elon Musk ruined by his trans child

I 💔 you, Daddy, but don't talk to me. I'm dead to you. But "I look pretty good for a dead b*tch"

Like, I don't even care what she, I mean he, is -- whatever, could care less, honestly; he's dead.

Leave my CyberTrucks and Teslas alone, or Trump and I are coming for you all (DOGE).

Don Trump and Elon Musk's grand plan to "liberate" us EVEN MORE | PUPPET REGIME

How Elon Musk's trans daughter is sabotaging him (Elon's angry)

Wealth inequality is the world's biggest problem.

(Channel 100 News with Evie) March 26, 2025: Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk's estranged daughter, has given her second ever interview to Teen Vogue -- and she is not holding back when it comes to her dodgy DOGE dad.

Since taking on the role of head of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) in the Trump’s administration, Elon Musk has been making headlines every day.

Be nice to your kid, and get Teslas off our roads!

His frequent outbursts about DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) have once again drawn attention to his own trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has not minced her words when it comes to how she feels about him and the Trump administration.

Elon Musk didn't seem to like this and doubled down on his claims that Vivian is “dead” this week. But outside of being Elon’s daughter and the self-proclaimed queen of threads, there is so much more to Vivian than meets the eye. Let’s get to know Vivian Wilson, the accidental voice of a generation.

What does trans son say?

My son, Xavier, is dead. He died of the woke mind virus. I will kill this virus.

.

I don't know this bitch, each may say of other.

(AccessOnline.com) Elon Musk’s estranged daughter [former son] is clapping back at his transphobic comment. Over the weekend, Vivian Wilson responded to her dad’s recent post on X (Twitter) that refers to her by her old [male] name and appears to talk about her transition writing, “Exactly, my son Xavier, died. He was killed by the woke mind virus. Now the woke mind virus will die.”

• Trans daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson says Elon Musk's former left-wing persona was a "marketing scheme" | Teen Vogue

She posted her cheeky response on Instagram Reels, mouthing a viral sound that says, “I look pretty good for a dead b*tch.”

Vivian is Elon and Justine Wilson’s daughter [former son]. In Vivian Wilson’s March 20th Teen Vogue interview, she recalled coming out to her parents, revealing that her mom was very supportive but her dad didn’t take it as well.

“No, he was not as supportive as my mom,” she said. “First of all, I had not talked to him in months — in months — so I had to get f*cking parental consent to get testosterone blockers and [goddamned hormone replacement therapy].”
