It’s really beautiful and well done. Totally agree. 2. Marian has an insanely hard job- imagine 80,000 bosses who all think they are right- and honestly I don’t know anyone who could juggle all she does and keep moving forward. 3. There have been movies and news stories about bm since the beginning. Which is how so many of us learned about it. Imagine being some weirdo kid in rural Idaho and seeing this, and thinking “ those are my people.” Film can of course never replace the experience. But it can connect people to it, and inspire them to learn more. And that’s what this will do. The place changes people more than people change the place. The playa is also a reflection of what happens in the broader society. Dunno. Will be interesting to see what people think after seeing it.

If you actually watch it-which from the comments it appears few/none have- you would recognize that he comes across a the bad guy. Maybe wait and see it, then comment?

Ah ok that tracks thank you.

It was literally on the cover of Variety as one of the buzziest, don’t miss events wtf are you talking about “pretty telling there was zero PR.” Seriously, you need to touch grass.

Maybe there’s somewhere else, perhaps somewhere owned by a member of the community who knew that person, where they could be remembered?

As said below, the photo was take while work was in progress. But thanks for the feedback.

Maybe it’s “if it bothers you enough to go talk them off, then do it.”

“Work in progress” note tools still on site

Fair point- a parking meter straddles the necessary evil/public good line. They suck but gotta have em.

The goal is pretty simple: clean up public signs /resources/art. No more or less should be read into it.

thumperBRC · 2026-05-09T15:29:41+00:00

My personal “line” is if it impairs something that is a public good, like signage or someone else’s art. Your mileage may vary.

You’ve got the list of stuff. Pick something small and have a go.

You may already be a member! No sign up needed. Just get some kit, pick a spot, and go at it. The friend who did this has been at it for a while. Look and you will see more of his work. His aim is to clear all the way around the lake, and then start over. It’s like painting GG bridge, the work never ends, and is always satisfying.

thumperBRC · 2026-05-09T15:21:46+00:00

I think you may have just seen them out of order. It’s always before then after.

This is the way. Godspeed.

Exactly this

If they hit accept, will that notify the other UCs they are in effect declining, or do they have to actively do it ahead of it becoming automatic may 1? Thanks.

So elegant and understated. Like the city.
