Jim Laird @laird.bsky.social · 22/07/2026@wilnerness.bsky.social It’s been a hard couple series. Any timelines on our injury-riddled players returning to give the Jays a much-needed shot in the arm? 000
Jim Laird @laird.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Winnipeg is my favourite city in western Canada hands down. Culture, community, arts, thriving multiculturalism, music, the nicest people, and a beautiful, historical downtown core. Yes, you’re more likely to get randomly stabbed here than any other major Canadian city, but it’s the absolute best. 020

Jim Laird @laird.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Picked up tickets for the family to see LCD Soundsystem in Vancouver. It’s going to be amazing 🤘. This is a band we’ve wanted to see for almost two decades. So cool. 140

Jim Laird @laird.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Got my vintage Marantz gear serviced along with getting a new cartridge/stylus on the 6300. It’s been a few years and they needed the love. Now that they’re back home, the vinyl can spin again. And wow, they sound like a million bucks 🎵 020
Jim Laird @laird.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I remember reading and teaching about 1984 with students back in the day. Some would ask “why we are learning about this?” It’s hard to believe things happening in the world right now; I wonder if people like me didn’t answer that question well enough. Sadly, Orwell was spot on. 😔 020
Jim Laird @laird.bsky.social · 01/01/2026My first jazz record. It’s excellent 🎵. Oh, and happy new year out there Bluesky. 030
