People seem to have other plans.

President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will be addressing the nation Tuesday night regarding his third government shutdown, which began December 22 thanks to an impasse between Trump and Congress over lack of funding for a border wall with Mexico.

Trump's address will be his first from the Oval Office as president and will be covered by the major networks.


"I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border," Trump tweeted Monday afternoon. "Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern."

What will Trump say? Who knows. Many people have already committed to ignoring him, as his speeches are generally riddled with falsehoods and finger-pointing.

"Trump plans on giving an address on his manufactured border crisis tomorrow night at 9pm," Scott Dworkin wrote on Twitter. "Retweet if you won’t be watching and reply with what you’ll be doing instead."  is now a trending hashtag.

So, what will people be doing instead?

Literally anything.

This sounds fun.

Zing. Stormy Daniels will be doing something special on Instagram during Trump's speech.

Or this.

Despite what Trump says, the crisis at the border is of his own making.

Thus, the public is largely uninterested in hearing his latest round of excuses.

Jeez.

Remember when the president implied shutdowns were the president's fault?

And that he would be proud to own this one?

On Tuesday, following multiple rounds of negotiations between Trump and Congressional leaders, the country will learn if that is indeed the case. Grab the popcorn and a stress ball.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
