OPEN BAR: Top 10 things millenials hate about OB that we didn't know last week!

[minuspace]

I can't find the second episode, watching Nina Simone instead.

Incidentally, regarding Clarence Thomas, Corey Robin and dignity:

I wonder if sales of Hagakure are soaring in wake of season 2 of True Detective, much like season one prompted purchases of The King in Yellow?  It was pretty prominently displayed in episode one in Ani Bezzerides' home, alongside a less prominent copy of A Book of Five Rings and some what look like some Fairbairn and Sykes knife-fighting manuals.

Well tough luck poseurs, my samurai killer manuals are well over a decade old. My knifefighting manuals too, though I only keep digitized copies of those nowadays.

Who the hell is Ani Bezzerides?

Character in True Detective.  Likes knives, has a New Age hippie cult leader for a father and, works for the County Sherrif's office and spends most of her time staring into the middle distance while looking mildly perturbed

And her full name is Antigone. 

I swear, if there's even a hint that she's going to get locked up in a mausoleum or something, I'm gonna punch the scriptwriters in the face.


Also, save for the final two minutes of last episode, it's is boring as fuck.

Her life is already the tomb her father made for her.

So since it's too hot to sleep, I was flipping through my work emails and I noticed (in addition to the three residents who had to visit hospital today, at least in one case possibly due to heat exhaustion) this little doozy:

Young man came in claiming he was from the Office of National statistics. Very doubtful this was the case as he came asking questions about flat 19. He was persistent to know information about this room, who lived there, is it empty, when is it next being used etc. The behaviour of this man was very dubious and therefore, [staff member] to review CCTV to identify him. Email also sent to [senior staff].

Once is happenstance.  Twice is coincidence.  Three times...that, ladies and gentleman, is enemy action.  I'm feeling very confident about my security meeting...

Flat 19? Specifically? All three times, or a different flat each time?

[Demolition Squid]

This heat.

I haven't slept for more than 2-3 hours uninterrupted all week. I'm starting to feel like a frog in boiling water, only the sadist is fucking incompetent so they've had to jam a lid on the top which I keep slamming my skull into.

This is how supervillains are made.

Keep it up, sun, and I will find a way to END YOU

Only specific to this occasion, questions about flat 19.

However, in the light of the bizzarely specific (if different) questions on the previous weird night I mentioned, which was followed by an equally weird building invasion less than a week later, I'm...concerned.

Could be worse.

My flat makes it so that it's 10-20 degrees hotter inside than outside, day or night.  It's clearly some kind of building error (possibly the boiler) but whatever it is, it means I've slept 10 hours over the past 4 nights.  I'm sweating just sitting down and typing this, and I have a fan on full power behind me.

That is... awful. How have you not boiled? 

[Faust]

Jesus Cain, if it's 10 degrees higher where you are how have you not mummified? In Ireland we don't really get summers and certainly not heatwaves, fucking hell this is overpowering.

[Doktor Howl]

Until the monsoon broke, it was 46C here.

I must have an amazing attention span, I'm really enjoying this season and don't really find it boring. At least no moreso than last season. 

I think the problem (if there is one) is that Rachel McAdams and Colin Ferrill (sp?) don't have Woody Harrelson's charisma.

[LMNO]

Maybe boring is too harsh.  It's really slow, and it feels it.
