Singapore Math Going Endemic 

When most K–12 Singapore math writers would find it almost irresistible not to set questions on Covid-19 and its variants, masks, vaccines, and lockdowns, by adding some context to their content in their new manuscripts, unless their publishers think that it is morbid or a bad omen to do so, by rationalizing that the product of two negatives (people’s fear of math and of the virus) is not a positive in this case.
As Singapore reluctantly lives with Covid, it’s understandable that those who had lost loved ones to Covid-19 have reservations about Singapore math going endemic in this new normal.

Eudemics 

The applied science of improving the nation, both politically and socially. This is essentially the same thing as the study of political science, but it comes from the Greek root words "eu" meaning (good or well) and "δημоѕ" meaning (a political area). This is not to be confused with the alliterative and complementary words eugenics and euthenics, which also come from Greek root words. Eugenics, which is the applied science of improving genetic health, and euthenics, which is the applied science of improving environmental health are the two subdivisions within the study of eudemics.
All citizens should be educated in the study of eudemics in order to promote wise decisions for their country.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
