:Democrat presents bill: “Why do we need this? Why did you run this? How much is Soros funding this?” :Republican presents bill: “YIPPEE-KI-YAY! I can’t read a word of this since it’s in Wingdings font, but that’s what floor debate is for. Motion to favorably recommend!” #utleg #utpol

@barkleycourse.bsky.social be like….. #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre (Thanks as always for the company, niche twitterverse! 🙏)

One hour to go on the cutoff to continue, 5 hours to the fun run cutoff! #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

We’ll want to hear that they cleared the tower probably within the next 3 hours (roughly 2pm Barkley time) if they want to be in the mix to continue past loop 3. #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

Armchair analysis…that wasn’t a bad loop 2, especially for overnight CCW. I was thinking under 23 hrs would be solid. 13 hrs is very doable on a daylight CW loop (depending on conditions of course), so there’s still a chance for someone to go beyond 3 loops even if a finish is a long shot. #bm100

Waking up after a Barkley overnight be like… #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

Making it far enough to be named by @keithdunn.bsky.social is #barkleygoals #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

Settling in for a night of carnage with the dirty dozen on loop 2! #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre #barkleycats #kittykontent

“Roses are red Briars are sharp Rhyming is dumb But watching you fail is fun” #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre #barkleycats #kittykontent

8:20 on the clock - there could be finishers any time between now and several hours from now…if we want to be “Barkley specific.” #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

I’m going to go out on a limb and say there will be a CCW loop record set today. #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

Surprise! This year’s pages are the complete unredacted Epstein files! Fail to collect them and they’re lost forever! 👀 #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre

“Why da fuq are they coming from teh other way?” #bm100 #StValentinesDayMassacre #barkleycats #kittkykontent

The most important #bm100 race official is now in position. You may all carry on! #barkleycats #kittykontent

👀👀👀

Me: “OMG Barkley is on!!” Normal person: “The what?” Me: “It’s this crazy race in TN that only 20 ppl have finished in 40 years.” Normal person: “Wow, are you gonna watch?” Me: “You don’t watch, you follow some guy’s Twitter!” Normal person…. #barkleyconversations #bm100

We should expect to see runners in the next 3-3.5 hours to be in the competitive 5 loop zone #bm100

About as close to a perfect start time as you can get. And a group of 10 already through the fire tower means the full frontal assault is back on. Early conditions are favorable if they don’t freeze to death! #bm100

:aggressively shakes self awake: SO! The tower split would be extraordinarily fast and a group of 10 is a very good sign, but with the modified start location it’s impossible to know what any of it means until the end of loop 1. Also, DAMMIT LAZ WHAT THE HELL! ☠️☠️☠️ #bm100

SOMEBODY WAKE UP TAKA! #bm100

Good morning everyone! Is anything interesting happeni-OHMYGOD! #bm100

Curious about the impact that Frozen Head renovations will have on this year’s #bm100

It's striking how different the coverage of Obamacare (Democrats just signed their death warrant by defying The People) at -3% approval was in the mainstream media vs the coverage of this bill (Another glorious win for Trump!) at -33%

Thoughts and prayers to everyone attending the Utah GOP Convention tomorrow! Here’s a treat to help you get through😉… mfbc.us/m/ved9mby #utpol #Utah

As far as other important #bm100 matters, any word on what the book titles were this year? At least the ones not banned in Tennessee 🥴

The man speaks! #bm100

@barkleycourse.bsky.social waking up this morning like... #BM100

😵😵😵 #bm100

Current time on Loop 3…. Tomo - 13:24 John - 13:03 Sebastien - 12:10 #bm100

2 hours. In normal time dimensions it feels like a lot. In the Barkley time dimension you blink and it’s gone #bm100

36s wild! (Yes I’m very disappointed I missed 36:36:36.36)…these are the things that amuse me at hour 36 #bm100

Runners have 2 hours to finish loop 3 for the privilege of dropping 2 straight sub 12 hour loops for a finish. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Hopefully John packed a few Sonic Blasts! #bm100

Tomo helps us evade the futility record for slowest #bm100 loop 2 split by just over a minute and has over 15 hours on a mostly daylight loop to get the Fun Run. I still like his chances!

24 hours on the clock. The quest for >3 loops is officially tapped out. 34 minutes to go to the futility record of the slowest loop 2 leader split! #bm100

Some #bm100 futility records... 2006 - No fun runs. 5 runners finished under the loop 2 cutoff with a top time of 24:34. 2021- 2 fun runs. 2 runners finished under the loop 2 cutoff at 24:32 apiece. Can we get there this year???

Does everyone like my new course suggestions? #bm100 #barkleycats #kittykontent

Posting in both places for #bm100 coverage can be somewhat confusing at times as to where I am. Fortunately a quick scroll through the main feed clears that up right quick🥴

Despite speculation from some that course changes could have made CCW easier relative to CW, I have on good authority that the #bm100 really is uphill both ways.

22 hours on the clock and about 12:15 into loop 2. They’ll have to finish and get it turned around in the next little while if they want to keep this competitive, but realistically we’re pushing for Fun Runs now. #bm100

Smallest number of loop 1 finishers ever (or at least this century) - usually it’s at least twice that many. Despite good conditions on a mostly daylight loop. I’ll be fascinated to hear the reports! #bm100

As much as I do love the early nicknames, the downside to a ‘shock and awe’ year is that most will quit before we even know who they are! 💀 #bm100

On the bright side - if you’re going to fail, fail in the first 12 hours! That’s an extra two days you could be petting a #barkleycat on your lap and not flogging yourself #bm100

Let’s talk loop 2…the slowest loop 2 split to ever finish was 21:13 (but actually finished with 90+ minutes to spare). Usually 20 hours is the neighborhood you want to be in. Possible? Technically. But an ~11 hour dark loop after a 9:45 opening daylight loop? I think 22-23hrs is more likely. #bm100

Let’s see those #bm100 night loop playlists!

Purrcules Mulligan is disturbingly pleased by this turn of events #bm100 #barkleycats #kittykontent

9:30 on the clock. No one has every finished loop 1 after this point and gone the distance. I’m not saying it’s over, but… #bm100

Darkness has settled in at Frozen Head. Prediction for the #bm100 overnight shift?

7 hours to the tower is pushing 10 hours for a daylight loop 1. What in the world did that madman do to the course? 💀 #bm100

5 hours on the clock. We'll hopefully get word from the tower soon (5.5-6 hours to the tower is an optimal clip). #bm100
