I am so far behind. I have a big fashion trunk show coming up in my place which is no where near ready. That might provide with an outfit or outfits to help in the coming days. No worries about that for the upcoming upper endoscopy. That's a colonoscopy from the other end, But then there is Pridefest. A birthday party that I may snub and a trip to Mexico City that is a long way away but shared with an overplanner,

| Adult Swim Smalls |
I'm bad! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, June 3!

This short-form anthology is a experimental and training ground for Adult Swim talent, regularly showcasing works by up-and-comers and helping refine ideas before they go regular series. These shorts are not polished but can be enjoyed if you like unrealized pilots/short series.
Elsewhere, Vox Machina returns, the NBA Finals begin, Michael Jackson gets docuseries treatment, Elvis Presley is in concert, Widow's Bay has your luggage, and Jerremy Clarkson goes back to the farm.

Tonight's Top Pick is the series premiere of Not Suitable for Work, which is "comedy hitmaker" Mindy Kaling's latest. Mindy's had a series about college girls, and now one about young working adults. Maybe her next one will be about the not quite youth, not really middle-aged set.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Not available for Emmy consideration
 |
| N/A |
Happy last day of 2025-26 Emmy consideration! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 31!
Our Top Pick tonight is N/A (Theater Close-Up) (PBS, 8 p.m.). This is a political generation gap play with the elder and first lady Speaker of the House (Holland Taylor) and the youngest woman ever elected to Congress (Ana Villafañe). While the assumption per physical appearance seems obvious, the playwright says there's no intention. The play is already available via Thirteen's YouTube, but tonight it airs linearly via PBS. I assume its carrying coverage is low, so online might be the way to see it.
Elsewhere, Euphoria hits a climax, giant cookies Built America, AFI celebrates Eddie Murphy, Elliot and Kat go Home, and there's news From the settlement.

Once more and this time with feeling! Santiago Campos is a name to watch out for! But you're not likely to see his name on CBS News. Campos, who is graduating from DC's international school, won a scholarship at the 47th annual news and documentary Emmy Awards. He used his speech to tear apart CBS and particularly CBS News. Campos, 18, had to look up Mike Wallace to know who his scholarship was named for. He didn't have to look up Bari Weiss. He ripped her to shreds and dared her to come see him and take the CBS sponsored scholarship back. I doubt Bari Weiss is dim enough to do that because the other networks and news outlets would be clamoring to sponsor Campos entire college career and make CBS look even more craven. Campos plans to use the scholarship when he enrolls at Georgetown University this fall. He has been offered an internship at a "major national newspaper" (the Guardian by any chance? Does the Guardian do blind items?) which he has turned down. What are Campos' plans for the summer? He's going to be a lifeguard. I wholeheartedly agree. [Guardian]
I wonder if this might have played out differently if the scholarship had been named for Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite or even Dan Rather.
oh yeah, he's got a face for TV
