Pi

WHO's yet-to-be-approved 16th letter of the Greek alphabet as a politically correct label for the politically charged “Trumpvirus”—named after Trum-pi-sm—to avoid stigmatizing any right-wing inept head of state who failed to prevent millions of infections and thousands of deaths.
Diehard Trumpists and hardcore QAnonists have complained to the World Health Organization that Democrat lawmakers’ and US-unfriendly nations’ use of “Trumpvirus” is discriminatory or demeaning, so they suggested rechristening it to “Pi,” and proposed “Tau” for its twice deadly variant (B.6.28).

Covid-𝜊

Read as “Covid-Omicron.” Also known as the B.1.1.529 or “Omicron” variant. WHO’s second “variant of concern” for South Africa—after the Beta variant (B.1.351)—that is thought to be more infectious and transmissible than the Delta variant, and can apparently bypass most of the protection offered by presently approved vaccines.
What are the odds that profit-driven vaccine makers would soon pressure folks who were recently boosted against the Delta variant to go for a fourth shot to protect themselves against the unprovenly deadliest Covid-𝜊?

Vaccine Against B.S

A mental or psychological jab to protect unvaccinated folks, who are more prone to being brainwashed or indoctrinated by right-wing morally bankrupt politicians and ethically challenged popular TV personalities, spreading their lies and conspiracies on mask wearing and vaccination against the coronavirus pandemic.
Until there is a vaccine against B.S., the infection and mortality rates among millions of unvaccinated folks faithfully watching Fox News, who are continually being fed with misinformation about Covid-19 vaccination, are just going to rise in the face of deadlier delta and delta-plus variants.

Pi of Life

When mathematics can not only help someone to be logical and rational, but it can also help them to be humble, gracious, resilient, joyful, and happy—they can experience the hidden happiness of mathematics and the good life.
If mathematics is the key to understanding the workings of the universe, schools and teachers play a key role in ensuring that students are exposed to the pi of life—when they can experience joy and happiness through math.

Covid Is Not Stupid

An unofficial mantra that morally bankrupt or ethically challenged Trumpublicans and QAnonists should have taken heed of, but were too conceited and dumb to realize that those invisible deadly viruses and their variants were smarter than them.
That “Covid is not stupid” has yet to sink in among Trump’s patriots and diehard supporters is no surprise considering the relatively high rate of infection and of mortality in most red states—a positive correlation between stupidity and mortality is hard to discount.

Number Line

One of the most popular metaphors in mathematics, which allows students to grasp the idea of the sequence of numbers—for instance, the further apart two numbers are from each other, the greater the distance between them.
The number line is a powerful visual tool that enables us to make sense of the arithmetic of integers—for example, why the difference of two negative numbers can produce a positive number.

Mask Meditation

When people in a meditative or prayerful state are unprovenly more likely to graduate to a semi-conscious or hypnotic state, or are more prone to experience a trance, if they don a face mask for paranormal or unexplainable reasons.
What percentage of masked folks who practice yoga as a transcendental activity rather than a mere breathing exercise are likely to reap the spiritual or occultic “benefits” of mask meditation?
