Pi Posture

When you meditate on the number π through all five senses, by disconnecting from the use of all technology with screens—only a pen and paper allowed, if need be—in the hope of experiencing an aha!
Going barefoot, being naked or/and blindfolded, and wearing a mask are some recommended frames of mind for those who are serious enough to put themselves in a pi posture.

Xianity

The religion of Donald J. Trump and his ultra-MAGA patriots, where X is a spiritual unknown—an unspoken health-and-wealth gospel that is often associated with a mélange of white racism or supremacism and faux Christianity.
Believers of Xianity are lured to the gospel teachings of Hannity and Tucker on Fox News, while the hardcore believers, who’re obsessed with the white population being outbred by immigrants, Mohammedan migrants, and refugees, would get their daily spiritual feeding on OANN and NewsMax.

Heavenly Math

How mathematics is used in cultural astronomy, such as in figuring out the date of Chinese New Year or the start date of Ramadan (the fasting month for Muslims)—both dates depend on the phase of the moon.
One unexpected draw to heavenly math is that it often draws arts and humanities students to discover the sciences behind astronomy, especially those who have an irrational fear of numbers.

Pi on Fire

When the number π is so proactive and paranoid in marketing herself so that she would constantly remain in the mathematical consciousness of mathematicians and math educators, while making herself conspicuous in the eyes of the lay public to be part of popular culture.
To avoid being disrupted or eclipsed by other mathematical constants, all vying to get the attention of the mathematical brethren, it’s not surprising to witness pi on fire 24/7/365.

FTX

A now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange that was helping people to buy and sell crypto assets, but was operating like a Ponzi scheme with the help and promotion of celebrities and influencers, or like an unregulated bank or casino favored by pseudo-geeky speculators.
What are the odds that Binance will be the next FTX or Luna?

Who Wants to Be a MAGA Millionaire?

The title of a new reality show that aims to keep the Pinocchio-in-Chief in the limelight and to help raise funds to defray some of his dear legal costs, but he is having difficulty in getting sponsors and a TV channel to run the weekly show for him.
Cronies of the Commander in Cheat are begging him to delay the announcement of “Who Wants to Be a MAGA Millionaire?” on Truth Social until he’s cleared of most of his bigly lawsuits, which could land him behind bars and disqualify him from running as a third-time presidential candidate.
