this twitter thread is crazy:
Every hour, another loop, until only one runner is left standing. That’s all there is to the Big’s Backyard Ultra put on by Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell.
Starting at 6:40 a.m. on Saturday, October 20, runners set off on the 4.166667 mile Big Trail on Laz’s property in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. To continue, runners had to complete a single loop within 60 minutes and be ready to go before the clock started for the ensuing hour-long loop.

The board also includes a number of senior Chinese political figures and political bureau members.
Questions?
Yes, please stop using that word.
Ugh. Explains a thing or two, though.
Dairy Queen? Baskin-Robbins? Carvel? Mr Whippy? I can’t tell anymore.
Negativland just released their newest album and for a limited time you can stream it on SoundCloud.
So far I’m really digging it. Fourth of July is shaping up to be a classic.
