Politics Corner refuses to hear bad news. I'm at a very happy wedding. So happy that I was willing to dance to Eric Clapton with my partner. "Wonderful Tonight" but still fucking Clapton. It didn't hurt at all.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Forgive us our Trespasses

Trespasses

We are, we are, the youth of the nation! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, September 20!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of Trespasses (PBS, 10 p.m.). This Irish limited series explores a forbidden love between a schoolteacher/barmaid and barrister in 1970s Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Perhaps the bigger draw in this 4-episode drama is Gillian Anderson as the mom of the schoolteacher. It debuted across the pond nearly a year ago.

Elsewhere, Jon Hamm is a Hostage, Sharon Horgan becomes a Youth, Jamie Demetriou was Live from London, Lioness has fallout, 60 Minutes goes to a data center, Kimora Lee has Words, David Chang takes a Detour, Kevin Hart is Cold as Balls, CBS does a VMA clip show, and John Oliver returns an Emmy loser.

What's On Tonight (Saturday): College admissions aren't at this Garage Sale

Garage Sale Mysteries

Atta boy, Luther! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 19!

Our Top Pick tonight is the return of Garage Sale Mysteries (Hallmark Channel, 8 p.m. / Hallmark+, Sunday). It's been more than 7 years since Lori Laughlin was dropped by Hallmark after the college admissions bribery scandal. Her Garage Sale Mysteries series ceased... until tonight. The mystery drama follows antiquer Jennifer Shannon as she solves murders. In all my years going to garage sales, I've yet to find murder.

Elsewhere, Billy Strings goes to the Limits, many balls are footed, Lifetime deals with an Ocean, Kara Swisher has News, and iHeartRadio is live.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Who the Fuck are the Harrigans?

Mobland

Today's Top Pick is the season two premiere of Mobland.  Guy Ritchie is one of the many producers but the ads really push his name.  Tom Hardy stars as a fixer working for crime boss power couple Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren.  It looks good but honestly it won because it has the best trailer.  

🔔 Mobland (Paramount, 3:01 AM) SEASON TWO PREMIERE. 'The Harrigans struggle to show a unified front as rising rivals threaten their fractured criminal empire – and Harry Da Souza, their street-smart and formidable ‘fixer’, must walk a dangerous tightrope when tensions within the family intensify.'

Feed Me: Guacamole


 Continuing Guacamole Day!

It is a traditional Mexican dish, created by the Aztecs 500 years ago.

They would mash avocados with tomatoes, wild chiles and salt, using a mortar and pestle called molcajete.

Recipe


It's also Mexico's Independence Day today, and I found "the most patriotic dish of the celebration" is Chiles en Nogada.

Someone needs to invite me to a formal event. Nothing since before COVID.  I'm running out of space to put things that I want to wear.


I'm focusing on first world problems because all the other problems, personal or worldly seem unsolvable at the moment. It doesn't mean that they are. Distraction can be nice.
