Prisonies

Trump’s convicted cronies who escaped imprisonment because they were pardoned by him as a quid pro quo for helping him rise to the highest office in the land with some collusion with Russia.
Guesstimate how many prisonies would be free on 1/20, 2021, when the Liar-in-Chief leaves (or is escorted out of) the White House.

Virtual Idolatry

When tens of millions of fans idolize their virtual stars or digital avatars, which are created thanks to computer animation and human actors, where every virtual idol has a real soul, each with their own personality traits, likes, and dislikes.
Business owners couldn’t care less whether “Virtual Idolatry” is “Vanity 2.0” or “Idolatry 3.0” as long as there is a lot of money to be made in the booming industry, which is estimated to be worth about US$230 million in China within the next two years.

X

A label used during the coronavirus pandemic to warn anyone in public squares or in social circles that the marked empty space or seat cannot be occupied to minimize the odds of them being infected.
A geeky Covidiot argued with the police that he occupied the space marked with X, because he’d figured out that the distance between him and the next person was more than six feet away, so he’s in no way breaking any social distancing rules, or endangering other people’s lives.

Math Is a Verb

When the world’s most disliked school subject is not a spectator but a player sport; when you need to do math rather than just read about it—the very reason why pop or general math books seldom help raise the mathematical or quantitative literacy of their armchair readers.
Recreationally speaking, math is a noun, but painfully or cognitively speaking, math is a verb—reading and understanding a math proof is one thing; guessing and checking and failing repeatedly and finally proving or solving a math problem is the actual thing.

Nazi Math

German math textbooks that were used during the reign of Adolf Hitler in the Second World War, whose word problems often mockingly or sickeningly demonize the “undesirables.”
One 1941 Nazi math question is: “Every day, the state spends RM 6 on one cripple; RM 4 1/2on one mentally ill person; RM 5 1/2 on one deaf and dumb person; RM 5 3/5 on one feeble-minded person; RM 3 on one alcoholic; RM 4 4/5 on one pupil in care; RM 2 1/10 on one pupil at a special school; and RM 9/20 for one pupil at a normal school. Calculate the expenditure of the state for one pupil in a special school and one pupil in an ordinary school over eight years and state the amount of higher cost engendered by the special school pupil.”

Covid-91

The spiritual antidote to being protected from Covid-19—with reference to Psalm 91 in the Bible, which believers faithfully use as an effective prayer of protection against any plague or pestilence that confronts them.
Christians know that Covid-91 is no match to any man-made antibodies or vaccines in protecting them against Covid-19, because whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and that He is their refuge and their fortress and will save them from any deadly pestilence.

Psalm 91

The psalm par excellence from the Book of Psalms, in the Bible, which has been used as an effective spiritual weapon by Christian believers time and again to fight against any plague, pandemic, or pestilence.
Guesstimate how many millions of believers (or even pre-believers) worldwide have read or prayed Psalm 91 to seek divine protection against Covid-19.
