Runners have to have started Loop 2 by 12.57am in order to be allowed to continue. So far, nobody has finished Loop 1. #BM100

“For as bad as you guys make it sound, it is worse.” - a runner #BM100

ICE are the new brownshirts.

The first drop went almost five miles in six hours; the second drop made it ~ seven miles in seven hours or so. #BM100

In fact we have so far: French runner I French runner II The Back to the Future Guy Not the human sacrifice The second runner #bm100 barkley.ferrett.io

TOMO!!!

The second runner has faced the bugler. #BM100

Yep I'm betting on the course this year. Maybe a couple of fun run finishers. #bm100

We're starting to beg the question: what's the latest anyone has reached the fire tower on a CW first lap and still finished? #bm100

calculated some quick stats on #bm100 runner finishing likelihoods based on their completion of each loop, while waiting for loop 1 to finish johnsug.substack.com/p/barkley-pr...

In my experience (from just the numbers), there is no such thing as a Barkley that's too warm. Runners may complain but only cold really causes DNFs

#BM100 is how I finally learn how Lists work in Bluesky as I furiously make one and add everyone talking about it so I can follow everything in one place

My #bm100 spreadsheet has gained a tab for 2025! I remind you again that this is NOT a primary source. Just gathering online information into one place. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

My favorite Barkley stat is that more people have visited the Moon (24) than finished five laps and touched the yellow gate (20). With due apologies to humanity, I'm kinda cheering for the course this year 😈 #bm100

Well I'm ready for breakfast ⌚ #BM100 😈

GUESS WHAT TIME OF YEAR IT IS

Sometimes living in the middle of nowhere is entertaining

This is really, really bad. Columbia made the mistake of thinking that placating the administration would spare them. Other universities made the mistake of thinking it would stop with Columbia. It won’t stop without disciplined pushback; it’s an existential question for American universities.

BREAKING: Democrats announce plans to acknowledge trans genocide, pledge to sing Amy Grant’s “I Will Remember You” if bill outlawing transition is passed “If that doesn’t work, I’ve got these photoshops of Elon and Don kissing dressed like fairy princesses to release,” beamed a twinkle eyed Schumer

Thought I forgot all my Spanish, but turns out I do in fact remember most of it? I... guess I'm looking for recommendations for middle grade and YA level books in Spanish?

I just got a spam call that played the first 20 seconds or so of The Entertainer at me and then hung up???

Only good thing about applying for jobs is occasionally getting read for filth in corporate personality tests

Discovered that the lid of the gaiwan I keep at work perfectly fits the mug I also keep at work, which means I can make mug ramen!

Slowly radicalizing my very country coworker just by going "this is what's happening, how it affects me directly, and why I'm terrified". This man actually went home, read a bunch of news articles, and came back to work pissed about everything going on. I'm extremely pleasantly surprised

Little MAGFest retrospective for shorter word count: Nothing is quite so fulfilling as running content that you personally would want to see, and promptly filling the room with people who agree with you. Huge thanks to everyone who interacted with Orchestra department in our first official year!

Welp. This right here is the shit ive been anxious about
