Are you boycotting the SOTU?

If so, what are you doing?

I am watching with friends and family "The State of the Swamp" rally.

if I watch at all, it'll be because I'm hoping to see Trump's worst meltdown ever, dementia on full display.

I'm kinda hoping there will be a rant against Anthropic, because I'd love for people - especially any AI bros who might be realizing backing Trump was a bad idea - see Trump rant about how he really needs the best AI for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, so Anthropic better agree to that by Friday or he'll take control of the company and force them to do what he wants.

Go outside and pick up dog poop in the back yard. That's likely as pleasant as lie fest '26 will be.
But seriously, I think I'll just watch college basketball.
