James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 9hThe new amphitheatre at the PNE in Vancouver has great washrooms. They are huge rooms open to everyone, with a large circular handwashing island in the middle, and fully enclosed stall-sized rooms around the periphery. They work really well. At the Weird AL show, the line moved incredibly quickly. 000

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The good news: under that definition, universal health care is *not* socialism. 030
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Edison was far more, ethical than Musk, and Edison put on shows where he electrocuted elephants to try to discredit AC power. 140

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026"The Brain That Wouldn't Die" on the weekend Creature Feature. Specifically the arm-tearing-off scene. Second was Space: 1999, the "Death's Other Dominion", the Dr Russel discovers her love interest has aged a couple of centuries while they were holding hands scene. 000

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I used to run the official websites for two anonymous music acts: The Residents and Nash the Slash. As a side effect of this, I've also done computer support for George A. "Night of the Living Dead" Romero. 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Remember when a suit was decried for beong beneath the dignity of a President because it was a neutral colour? 021
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This'll be fun when he starts ordering Catholic chaplains to use the KJV. 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 30/09/2026All my favourite music is music I got interested in because I heard a composer/performer/band do something I'd never heard before and it resonated. That's not something you can prompt for. 020
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 30/09/2026They broke civil laws, not criminal laws. Do they shoot jaywalkers in the back too? 011
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Fun fact: John Wayne Gacy "got things done", but only Peter Thiel thinks it was kinda good. 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Just remember, unless you're a billionaire, they've never been loyal to you. 000

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Question for Bessent: would you underwrite the insurance on these tankers? 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Fun fact: if using a tool produces the wrong result 90% of the time, that's nature's way of telling you to stop using that tool. 020

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 16/09/2026They don't seem to think they can, given that they're asking the government to govern. Alien concept to Johnson, I know... 000

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I saw the show in Vancouver on Thursday. Great show, as always. I've lost track of how many Al shows I've seen, but they've all been top notch. The Bigger & Weirder band is great, too. I don't think Al's ever had a bass sax in his tour lineup before. 021
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 05/09/2026When I worked as a dev there, there was a lot of complaining about the size of the cut Apple was taking from mobile apps... No fair *they* were doing to Amazon what Amazon was doing to everybody else. 010
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Traditionally, you would actually have to actually win to merit a triumphal arch. 010
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I guess "literally" has move on from meaning "figuratively" to meaning "the opposite of". 110
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Thing is, regardless of what it used to be, you'd still be mistaken if you went in and asked for a large pepperoni and a diet coke. 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The standard of what American leadership should be: petty and ineffectual. 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Apparently that's fine if the people aren't "fellow Americans". 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 01/09/2026But he's fine with it when the "bad" people aren't US citizens (or are US citizens who look like the "bad" people). 030

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I seem to remember this term making the rounds 10 or 20 years ago. Or maybe 10 *and* 20 years ago. 000

James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 13/08/2026In Hamilton, Ontario, the Niagara Escarpment is known as "the Mountain". It's about as tall as the smallest thing here in Vancouver that gets called a mountain (Burnaby Mountain). 010
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Whycome is a Homestar Runner word. It even has its own H*R wiki page: www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Why_Comehrwiki.org 000
James HG Redekop 🏳️🌈 @tzoq.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I can think of a lot of things worse than divorce. The first two that come to mind are spousal abuse and beating children. 030
