Burning Man organizers confirmed three separate deaths during this year's event in Black Rock City, Nevada, including Craig Mann, 60, found dead at his campsite, Sampson Tshombe, in his mid-50s, who died from a medical emergency, and Armando Ramirez, 51, who died en route to a hospital in Reno. Officials said the deaths appear unrelated and found no evidence of foul play, though causes have not been officially disclosed.
Burning Man organizers updated their official survival guide to allow Meta's camera-equipped smart glasses at this year's festival, provided wearers get explicit permission before recording anyone in frame. The policy contrasts with venues like New York nightclub Basement, which has vowed to permanently ban attendees caught wearing the devices.
An installation artist placed a working phone booth at Black Rock City's Temple of the Flying Spaghetti Monster corner, rewired to route calls over the internet instead of accepting coins. Attendees can dial a friend or loved one anywhere for five minutes free, or simply call the booth's public number hoping a passing stranger picks up.
