【】2. The Black Panther trailer on repeat

Once upon a better time, watching the State of the Union address each year was considered a civic duty. Now that Trump is president, it's rightly considered a spectacular waste of time.。

Last year, Trump successfully read off a teleprompter for an hour straight and was deemed "presidential" by a bunch of CNN talking heads who somehow make more money than you. Few in the punditocracy cared about whether Trump would actually follow up on his promises. They were just thrilled to learn that our nation's commander-in-chief was borderline literate. 。

Don't make the same mistake these people did, or maybe you even did last year. Don't watch the SOTU. Change the channel and learn something. 。

Below are a list of far superior programs, most with slightly civic bents, that are either broadcasting at the same time as the State of the Union or are available on popular streaming sites. All of these programs contain far more valuable information than anything you'll find in Stephen Miller's State of the Union. Bonus! They won't crush your fumbling little soul.。 They won't crush your fumbling little soul.。

This movie wasn't a contender for Best Picture because -- surprise! -- Academy voters can be shitty. The Florida Project hits both iTunes and Amazon today. A percentage of sales will go to Community Hope Center, a nonprofit that serves low-income people in Kissimmee, Florida, until February 5th.。

Staring at a blank wall is a consistently more uplifting experience than watching Trump do anything at all. 。 5. Fixer Upper

The next episode of this Lena Waithe series doesn't air until February 11th. That gives you plenty of time to watch earlier episodes on Showtime about this Chicago community where Trump once promised to "send in the Feds," Oh my god.。 8. Law and Order。8. Law and Order 。

It is far more valuable to learn the price of Tide in 1992 than the details of Trump's opioid crisis plan that he will never, ever implement. 。

12. FDR's State of the Union Address from 1941
。Widely considered one of the best SOTU addresses, FDR famously outlined four freedoms "everyone in the world" should be entitled to: freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. I'd like to revise FDR's fears to include "freedom from Trump," but since that's not entirely possible, "freedom to change the channel" will have to do.。Featured Video For You 。Featured Video For You。This movie theater wraps around your head
