I wrote about the administration’s “national design studio,” and how its shoddy construction isn’t a mistake. It’s a clear signal of priorities, and ones we need to actively, urgently rebuke. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-noti...

And tonight’s debate is on early ⏰ So less multitasking with devices in both cases 😎
Still trying to figure out who forget to check the Habs home game schedule when choosing the dates for the election debates – and the French debate no less 🤦🏻♀️

I didn’t have getting weepy watching Cory Booker hold the floor for 25+ hours on my 2025 bingo card. This timeline definitely has some unexpected twists.

Unexpected sunshine between last night’s snow and tomorrow’s freezing rain means I ran outside for the first time this spring!

This is a brutal year … waiting to hear post race stories of course changes and conditions #BM100
The slowest loop 2 time to ever get a sub 36h fun run (and thus be allowed to attempt loop 4) was Jared Campbell in 2013 with 22:53:38.... that's about to elapse in this year's race. #bm100

on here at the moment, this photo sits proudly above my desk. Bought as inspiration when @lilycanter.bsky.social and I were finishing the Ultra Women book (out in May)

Confirmed 40 starters for loop 1. Even if every single loop 2 starter finished the loop, this year would still be roughly in the middle in terms of the number of loop 2 finishers. #bm100

And then there were 9. Calling it a night … and wondering what I’ll wake up to #BM109
Ten runners completed Loop 1 within the time limit; 9 continued to Loop 2. 14 runners have been tapped out; 16 remain on Loop 1 and will be tapped out when they return. #BM100

30% of the field have voluntarily dropped and made their way back to the gate before a single cutoff has been hit. So far.
Barring a group of latecomers, this could be the harshest first loop that we have records for. Like, going back to the 1980s 3 loop years. Certainly of the modern era. #bm100
