When a country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been quasi-effective partly because citizens and residents understand the importance of wearing a face mask in public squares even though a significant number of them have been fully vaccinated.
Compared to the incompetent US, Brazil, and India responses, China’s success in containing the Covid-19 pandemic could be partially attributed to mask pride and vaccine nationalism.

Get the Mask Pridemug. When the symbol π drawn on a piece of paper is cut up and glued onto a piece of magnetic sheet to make a DIY fridge magnet—an inexpensive fun family math activity to introduce the most popular constant in mathematics to precocious kids.

Get the Pi Magnetmug. When tax fugitives and corrupt entrepreneurs in Singapore want to ostentatiously donate millions to Trump’s post-election fund to help him fight against “fraudulent ballots”—which prevented him from being re-elected in the 2020 presidential election—in the hope that come 2024, when he ran again and won bigly, he would grant them tax concessions as a quid pro quo.
Ironically, most members of Singapore 4 Trump are filthy rich permanent citizens and naturalized citizens from mainland China and India, and millionaires and billionaires who had fled the US and the EU to settle in tax-heaven Singapore, who bet that having Trump as the re-elected president in 2024 or 2028 would be an auspicious year for their businesses.

Get the Singapore 4 Trumpmug. 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.

Get the Pitrifiedmug. The perfect score for an online time-based math test in a lockdown or in the new normal, because for most teachers, 19 is the new 100.
Which flawless score is psychologically less intimidating in assessing home-based learning students: 19/19, 50/50, or 100/100?

Get the 19/19mug. A study of God that avoids touching on the painful truths of living a holy lifestyle—for example, a failure to warn believers of the dangers of embracing or condoning a life of moral elasticity or selective obedience.
Unlike the popular feel-good prosperity gospel, preaching about cracked theology is an unpopular topic in church circles—believers are seldom warned that if they’re not purposefully living a life of godly obedience, they’ve heading to hell.
