Covid-đź‘»

When diehard party-goers who superstitiously believe that the coronavirus is scared of ghosts are required by the authorities to wear a “frightening” mask to remind onlookers that the virus won’t take a break just because it is Halloween.
Unlike Muslim-majority countries that ban Halloween because it is against Islamic teachings, a number of Western nations are allowing the “infidel“ festival to proceed provided the organizers strictly enforce Covid-👻 rules.

Mask-lite

When vaccinated persons still need to don a mask when they are in crowded places like stadiums and churches, although the odds of them getting infected or infecting others are relatively low—no vaccines can protect them 100% from infection or reinfection.
Mandating a mask-lite strategy in public places, where social distancing is impossible to implement, is likely to be the new normal habit post-pandemic.

Racial Capitalism

When a company profits on the image of minorities on its website to fake diversity, while paying lip service to building a more diverse company in the long run.
Using photoshopped images or stock photos on its website to make a company look as if it embraces a multiracial workforce is nothing but racial capitalism in action to mislead potential employees, shareholders, and the public.

Algebra

A subject that teaches us how to know what we don’t know, by using letters and symbols to represent things that we don’t know in order to find their values based on things we do know, and some mathematical principles or rules.
Algebra is the language scientists speak in engineering, physics, and artificial intelligence.

Trumpstradamus

When Donald Trump gazes into the crystal ball and tweets his prediction or prophecy of the future—for example, “Mexico will pay for the wall!” and “Iran will restore diplomatic ties with the US.”
What percentage of the predictions of Trumpstradamus have turned out to be true? Or is he just another politician-turned-astrologer trying his luck at divining the rise and fall of his critics?
