Turns out that Threadapalooza, though largely an unmotivated accident, ended up provoking some interesting thoughts related to my main topic of interest in recent years, temporality.

Specifically, the question of calling the end of a "race" when everybody is sort of racing in their own time/tempo under different cognitive circumstances with no shared rules, kinda like the Mock Turtle race in Alice in Wonderland

It's actually a well-posed mathematical question too: when do you call something like this "done", given that not everybody is even trying to cross the 100-tweet finish line? And how do you attribute a race time to them when they do their thread in 2-3 sessions instead of 1?
