I've seen many references over the past several weeks to the whole "Looksmaxxing" and "Clavicular" story, but didn't know what it was about. So I did some digging.

Annnnnnd...it's even more stupid than I imagined.

Seriously folks...my country has zipped up its leather jacket, strapped on waterskis, powered up the boat, and is soaring over the shark.

Behind the rise of Clavicular and ‘looksmaxxing’ there are insecure young men who feel they don’t measure up

What is a very private struggle – coming to terms with one’s own appearance – is being reshaped into a site of competition and ridicule, says assistant Opinion editor Jason Okundaye

Day sneaking back into the palace unaided and TOTALLY UNSEEN is beyond belief, given how difficult it was for him to leave. And the less said about the UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS orbital skydiving scene the better. Is this the same show that had a (comparatively sane) airlock scene not three episodes ago? Did they rewrite the last episode on set while high on meth? WTF. 🤬

Hot tip. Adding Templeton Rye does not improve it.

The final episode of Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon is very very funny!

"Dell Pro Max 14 Premium"

What a ridiculous name.
"Can I get the Elite version of that in Gold, please?"

So it finally happened: episode 11 of season 7 of #TheRookie jumped the shark. On the day the LAPD takes an interest on going undercover on public transport, a couple of baddies enter the bus with a bomb strapped to their chest asking for a 100 million. What are the odds? And the episode is called 'Speed', that is not being subtle but jackhammering it in. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. #television #series #jumptheshark
