What's On Tonight (Saturday): Big balls
 |
| Big Ten Saturday Night |
Another cow! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 12!
Our Top Pick tonight is Big Ten Saturday Night (NBC, 7:30 p.m.). It's Iowa's superb owl with the Cyclones traveling to take on the Hawkeyes. Like every football game, I hope no team wins.
Elsewhere, Brandi Carlile is honored to the Limits, Huntsville has an institute you can't disparage, Prime finds Love, 9/11 survivor Genelle Guzman gets Lifetime movie treatment, and Jon Lovett has News.

What's On Tonight (Friday): 25 Years Ago We Were All 50 Years Younger

| 9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan |
Not surprisingly there isn't a lot premiering today, so Top Pick goes to 9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan. The special will air on ABC, National Geographic, Disney+ and Hulu. I am a little surprised Disney isn't putting it on all the networks they own, but I guess this would be pretty heavy stuff for Disney Jr. Doc McStuffins won't be making an appearance.
⭐🔔 9/11 Tribute in Light: Live from Lower Manhattan (ABC / Disney+ / National Geographic, 8:00 PM) SPECIAL PRESENTATION. 'As the iconic Tribute in Light illuminates the skies above Lower Manhattan marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this special spotlights the resilience and hope that arose since that day through inspiring stories and historic musical performances.

It's not just the State of New Mexico and all of the American public that Trump's Justice Department is ghosting over the Epstein Files. DoJ has refused to share files much of Europe for a year despite multiple requests at high level. Poland is asking for files related to Russia as well as Poland. State Police have identified a Latvian victim and they are still denied files. I haven't heard of any requests from Slovenia or Russia. Rumors of Melana and Donald Trump's connection with Epstein and Maxwell go far beyond photos and birthday cards. It would also explain Russian Kompromat. I would not be surprised if Trump convicted himself to Russia when they were invited behind closed Oval Office doors at the beginning of Trump 45. [Washington Post gift link]

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Breaking news and broken hearts
 |
| The Paper |
We're paratroopers, Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, September 9!
Our Top Pick tonight is the sophomore season of The Paper (Peacock, 3 a.m.). This seemed the right choice because it is adjacent(ish) to what I do IRL. While the show takes numerous liberties with journalism and the news industry — the economics of the show's newspaper make no sense — it does have a heart that is pretty true to the practice of community reporting. And like the show, trying to inform with a volunteer/freelance staff is largely what I do. Plus given it's my birthday, I figured this Top Pick is commendable. Also, the headlining is terrible.
Elsewhere, football is back, Tyler Perry is gettin' Married Again, Band of Brothers has a Legacy, Ted Lasso rings in the new year, Diarra solves the case, the Hardacres are threatened, Miles O'Brien does one more Solve, and it's a Shardy Halloween.

I am still being judged. Of course I am. I haven't held a real job in a very long time and I'm not likely to ever hold a job again. Volunteering is almost certain but volunteering is not accepted as work in this country no matter how much work is actually involved. I can't get a job that I'm qualified for because I can't prove my qualifications until I'm on the job. The things that I can prove are in fields that I'm simply incapable of doing anymore.
