Bad Machinery by John Allison for November 28, 2023

Grandpa Joe’s method of heckling public officials is more subtle than Amy’s.

“I find the wailing of an infant lends urgency to public debate.” — Amy Beckwith-Chilton, “Into the Woods”

“Barney Rubble, private citizen.” Lol

World would be a lot better off if were all more like Grandpa Joe, or at least a whole lot more entertaining.

“When it’s worthy of respect” is indeed not too bad a caveat to respecting authority.

All we need to do then is come to a universal consensus on just when it is or is not worthy of that respect. After some thousands of years of trying, humanity’s still not figured it out. :P

That’s an impressive cauliflower ear. I see the police are ensuring citizens get their daily allowance of vegetables.

There will be a lot of violence against the youth.

Grandpa Joe is fantastic, and much better than either of my grandfathers. Or grandmothers, for that matter.

What magazine named them Police Force of the Year? Raid? Bad? MAD?
