SOCIALITE LIFE: Joe Jonas showed off his rock-hard physique ... just because. This guy's pits-and-tits combo surely rivals his, but ... why not both?!

DEADLINE: Monster is a new Ryan Murphy joint about the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer. At this point, it feels like we're rehashing certain serial-killer stories for cheap thrills, although the series' mission statement promises it will explore the 10 times Dahmer — who was white, and whose prey were not — was in police custody or close to it, and allowed to skate. That's a very interesting angle, and not manufactured; I remember vividly the story of the young man who escaped Dahmer, naked, and who was seen by cops ... who assumed it was a gay quarrel. As soon as he was escorted back into Dahmer's home, he was murdered. But do I trust Ryan Murphy to tell this story sensitively? I'm not so sure. The Assassination of Gianni Versace was very well-made and beautifully acted, but filled with outright lies for drama's sake. I hope this time — especially with Niecy Nash and Penelope Ann Miller aboard — Murphy tries something new: accuracy.
JOE.MY.GOD.: As threatened, reviled U.S. Postmaster Louis DeJoy has gleefully unveiled his plan to further weaken the USPS. Not for nothing, he owns stock in a USPS competitor, and remains a Trumper. DeJoy is going — Biden has nominated new people whose job, once they're in place, would allow them to shit-can him — but it's galling how smug and fearless the rich can be.
EXTRATV: Previous Kennedys would be ashamed of the more current brood. Maria and Tim Shriver are expressing dismay that anyone can be an ardent Democrat or an ardent Republican — as if the parties in 2021 are in any way comparable — and Maria says she is a registered Independent. Also, hinting at a very trendy revulsion for so-called cancel culture, Tim says he no longer believes in “outrage.” Seriously, some people are angry 24/7, and about nothing, but how rich and how white does one have to be to think outrage is never called for?
TPM: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) is no longer the Senate majority leader, so he continues on his campaign of terror, suggesting eliminating the filibuster would lead to a “nuclear winter.”
