The stools of Dictator Kim Jong Un, who is always accompanied by portable toilets to prevent any poo divers from analyzing them, lest they give away rich information about his poor health condition.
Unconfirmed reports hint that the Trump-Kim meeting nearly got aborted when young Dictator Kim refused to let President Trump use one of his toilets lest his supreme shit get contaminated with that of an old white man.

Get the Supreme Shitmug. When schools or states are willing to change their textbooks every other year, as publishers tempt teachers with free resources (and bribe them with airline and cruise tickets).
Getting an entire state to adopt a publisher's set of textbooks is worth millions of dollars, so the sales and marketing personnel would go all out to play yo-yo math with decision makers to get them to choose their titles over those of their competitors.

Get the Yo-Yo Mathmug. The advice preached by some fringe American pastors to their congregations with regard to mask wearing and vaccination, who claim that Covid-19 is a “fake pandemic” and that they themselves would not take a vaccine—and that Donald J. Trump won the 2020 presidential election by a landslide, who would be re-elected as the President of the United States, be it in 2020, 2024, 2028, or even later (after serving his reduced jail sentence, commuted by the President of the day).
A conservative pastor from Tennessee, who is probably scientifically challenged, told his faithful uncritical church members: “Don’t trust the fake media, but use your Bible and your brain to decide whether you want to wear a mask or get vaccinated.”

Get the Use Your Bible and Your Brainmug. The book in the Bible that emphasizes the true blessing for God’s children: those who mingle with sinners or mockers of God will not be together with the righteous but instead perish; however, those who meditate day and night on God’s word will be blessed, for they will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which bears fruit in season and whose leaf never withers—whatever they do will be successful.
Psalm 1 lays out the results of the paths chosen by those who want to please God and those who do not respect Him: God takes care of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will lead them to a bad end.

Get the Psalm 1mug. When Singapore’s affirmative action allows Malay students to pay zero school fees all the way up to their tertiary education, which has raised the mathematical proficiency of the Malay community over the decades—Malay math students, of which 99⁺% are Muslims, have fared reasonably well in international comparative studies like TIMSS and PISA vis-à-vis their foreign counterparts, albeit they still have some catching up to do compared to their local peers from other races.
Years ago, based on some TIMSS rankings, a Malay cabinet minister had figured out that Singapore Malay students are unofficially among the “world’s top ten,” which positively suggests that Malay math policies have helped raise the quantitative literacy of the Malay or Muslim community in Singapore.

Get the Malay Mathmug. The planetary equivalent of someone who suffered a heart attack that nearly killed them—which often arises due to zero exercise, unhealthy diet, or high-stress lifestyle—because earthlings made bad choices like deforesting and polluting the earth, ignoring the poor and the marginalized, and overspending on the military but underspending on health care systems.
COVID-19 exposes how fragile global supply chains are, how under-funded health or medical systems worldwide are, and how vulnerable the poor and marginalized in both developed and developing countries are.

Get the COVID-19mug. When God’s “anointed” political savior of millions of white blue-collar workers and hundreds of thousands of white evangelicals says that two and two are five, there are no reasons why his diehard supporters should doubt or question about his brand of political math—when real statistics in politics are often concealed or concocted to boost the politician’s odds of winning an election or reelection.
For decades, it’s about “lies, damn lies, and statistics”; today, in an age of Trumpism, the new mantra for dishonesty is “lies, damn lies, and Trump’s lies.”
