In an effort to keep myself accountable and to “build in public” as many do on Twitter, I’m going to share my training and thoughts in my build up to running the 2021 Barkley Marathons.

A thread:

 1/ I’m out of shape right now.

That needs to chance quickly as the race is approximately 3 months away. If you don’t know what the Barkley Marathons is, there are some great documentaries on Amazon & YouTube you can search for.
2/ Essentially it’s a 100+ mile ultra marathon held in Frozen Head State Park in TN. It is a 5 identical looped course of unmarked trails and cross country scrambles over steep terrain.

Each loop is over 25 miles in length with +14,000 feet of climb.
3/ Just 15 people have finished the full five loops in the event’s 35 year history. You have 60 hours to finish and no one has finished under 52 hours.

Most years there are no finishers.
4/ I first toed the line at the Barkley in 2014, but I first read about it in 2005 or 2006 just as I was getting into running ultras. I found the website, read this poem and immediately added the event to my bucket list:
5/ In 2007 I made my first pilgrimage to the @hardrock100 in Silverton, CO. I wasn’t in the race. I just joined for course marking, trail work & hung out with the real “Hardrockers”. We’d do a big day on the course then hang at course director Charlie Thorn’s house.
6/ One afternoon, a group was gathered after a day on the trails chatting about Barkley. Every other person in the room had been but me. I felt it was an honor to just hear the stories - a fly on the wall to the great stories of the “Barkers”.

I knew then I was destined to run.
7/ The @hardrock100 was already my dream race and is one of the toughest 100 mile ultra marathons on the planet. It climbs over 33,000 feet in total and the high point is atop the14,058 foot Handies Peak.
8/ It took years to fill out my ultra and thru hiking resume but I was finally in for the 2014 edition. The field is typically 1/2 newbies (virgins) and 1/2 veterans. Basic virgin strategy to learn the course is pick a veteran you think can’t drop you and hang on for dear life.
9/ I chose @bevlikeabbs & @alanabbs which turned out to be a good choice. They had several “Fun Runs” (3 laps of the course) under their belt and knew the course well. It was horrendous rain for close to 24 hours through the first two loops.
10/ It was the hardest thing I had ever done up til that point. I was hooked. I tried to pay attention to “learn the course” but the veterans move quick and don’t wait to play tour guide. The Barkley doesn’t hand hold. Reality sets in quick.
11/ I’m good at navigation. At studying maps. At remembering the lay of the land. By loop 3 I was leading some of the climbs ahead of Alan. I worked alongside Alan and 5 loop finisher @lakewoodhiker to complete a 39h55m fun run - 5 minutes under cutoff.
12/ I’ve gone on to attempt the Barkley four more times. The next year in 2015 I was “last standing” but completed my fourth loop way over the 48 hour cutoff to start loop 5. Last year I finished my 3rd fun run.
13/ The interesting thing about the Barkley is that it evolves. The course I ran back in 2014 is easier than the most recent route. There is more cross county, more quad busting climb and more knee smashing descent now.
14/ That’s what I love about the Barkley. When you finish it, it will be the hardest course there has ever been. And it’s why I’m going back until I get those 5 loops.
15/ With close to 15 loops completed during the race, many more training days in the park and countless hours studying past routes, my biggest factor for success is training.

Let’s go get some.
16/ You can follow my training on @Strava and I will ask share some more here periodically as well as other things I’m doing to prep for the upcoming edition.

For those who are asking: Twitter froze my account for 12 hours and penalized me with "a warning" because of my reporting on a religious organization (initials E.C.) who is behind the current anti-Pornhub campaign. (1/2)

If you google public record information on the leader of that campaign (initials L.M., a public figure) plus the words "Justice Defense Fund," you can take a guess as to why I was "reported."

Twitter punished me for literally doing my job.

Religious groups are already abusing the "reporting" system WITH SECTION 230 IN PLACE.

Imagine the future of journalism once Section 230 is repealed or reformed.

(Yes, I have receip†s.)

(No, I won't be using this platform as I have been. I've been "admonished" on the word of a religious lobby.)

After spending a couple of days engaging with #DisruptTexts and its most vociferous Twitter defenders, here is what I've learned:

1. Many of its most outspoken defenders are also outspoken racists. Almost every one that I spoke to focused on my skin color and whatever stereotypes they could fabricate from it in their responses.

2. On a related note, their primary means of argument seems to be largely ad hominem. There was very little discussion of the actual issues. Instead, insults, insinuations, and mockery seemed to be the rules of the game.

3. I think this need to focus on ad hominem arises from the ideological rather than evidential nature of #DisruptTexts itself. There's a lot of social justice jargon and feeling used to support it, but no talk that I saw about student outcomes or efficacy.

4. Relatedly, there is a religious feel to the whole thing. Heresy is not to be reasoned with but rooted out and destroyed. Only the truly initiated understand the secret gnosis. The plain meaning of words is disregarded in favor of a mystical interpretation.

So regarding to my "bombshell"...it's perhaps a bit less dramatic than many presumed, yet it still troubles me a lot, to the point that I wondered whether I should stop posting on certain things


You see, I realized in the last few months that, by translating information and news related to one of the fastest growing spaceflight powers of the world...I inadvertently became a spreader of PRC propaganda.

And with me exactly 180 degrees away from them, I feel scared.

It actually started a few years ago - it's not hard to meet Chinese Twitter users interested in spaceflight, either those living overseas or find a way to climb over the wall. Not surprisingly, many of these S/F enthusiasts are interested in their own military too.

This steadily grew with my followers' count until the flagship Chinese spaceflight missions of 2020 (Chang'e 5 especially but also many others) brought in dozens of them liking/re-tweeting my info tweets sometimes, and similar no. of such followers every month.

I do casually check these new followers/users sometimes. To my horror, far too many of them routinely insults, attacks, mocks others who they see as "anti-China" or spread potential mis-information, even blatant attacks, that started off w/ their state media/spokesperson.

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...


On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.


Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.


This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.


There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

Pyramiding 2.0

A thread-


What is pyramiding?

It is simply adding to your winners.

Why use pyramiding?

1. It makes your winners bigger than your losers.

• Because you are adding positions when your trades are going your way, you are increasing your gains but your losers will be small comparatively.

2. You lose less during Draw-down time ( it saves you from losing big during whipsaws )

• Many times when the market is in sideways mode, Entering a trade with full risk might not be the best idea.

• So, you test the waters with a small position first, it could be ⅓ or ¼ of your total risk.

• So if the Breakout fails or whipsaws come, then you will only lose a small part of your overall risk.

• Then when position starts to go in your favor you can add to it.

3. It helps you to concentrate on a few trades,

They say that don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but don’t put them in too many either.

• See, Everyone can see charts and find breakouts, pullbacks etc.

Ancient Egypt was the most advanced civilization in the ancient world. Why was Egypt so special?

There are so many firsts in Egypt that we all know about, and that makes Egypt unique. For example, the Sumerians did not build the pyramids of Egypt.
