“Everybody’s talking about it, but nobody really knows what the story is really about, because it’s all Omicron — Omicron this and Omicron that. But we don’t really understand if it’s going to change anything. We don’t ‘knowmicron’ about Omicron.” —Stephen Colbert
“So far, Omicron appears to be milder and more infectious than Delta, and that may be happening because, according to a new study, ‘It shares genetic code with the common cold.’ This pandemic has gone on so long, we’re officially in the remix stage. The next variant’s going to be Covid, featuring shingles, the Skrillex mix.’” —Stephen Colbert
“Well, here’s some good news. Dr. Fauci said that the first data on the severity of the Omicron variant is ‘encouraging.’ Yeah, that’s what passes for good news in 2021.” —Jimmy Fallon
“Dr. Fauci says that while it’s still too early to know for sure, it looks like Omicron spreads more easily than Delta but may be less severe, yeah — which means Covid might have watered itself down so it could reach more people — like the Ice Cube of corona variants.” —Trevor Noah
“The new deadly virus variant is only worrisome. People were like, ‘This calls for a tepid uncertain celebration.’” —Jimmy Fallon
"Every time a kid found an egg, Michelle Obama would make them trade it in for a low cholesterol Egg Beater. They had about 6,000 eggs, and you know who decorated them? Ex-cons. It’s nice to see the White House reaching out to former members of Congress." –Jay Leno
"There's now a nationwide shortage of Attention Deficit Disorder drugs. The FDA says it doesn't know how it happened. I guess somebody wasn't paying attention." –Jay Leno
"Donald Trump says he's President Obama's worst nightmare. That's not true. Having to make a decision is Obama's worst nightmare." –Jay Leno
The conspiracy theories are abounding already because this Jeffrey Epstein guy knew everybody. Clinton, Trump, Prince Andrew, Dershowitz. It was a who's who of Eww Eww. This Epstein guy was a weirdo. I mean, besides the pedophilia, besides the sex island, besides the plane the Lolita Express they called it. A ranch in New Mexico, did you read this? I'm not making this up, where he was gathering scientists and nubile young women and a plan to repopulate the earth from his spawn and Schwarzenegger said, “or you could just hop on the maid.” --Bill Maher
Oh course, Trump the conspiracy theorist, retweeting that the Clintons killed Jeffrey Epstein. I mean of all the right-wing conspiracy theories that have been going around, this is the stupidest. The idea that the Clintons go around killing their enemies. First of all, it makes them look cool. Nobody ever accused Mitt Romney of murdering his way to the top. --Bill Maher
I have been working on a
paper for the Education Market.
The paper talks about using
video games as a teaching tool for
children with learning
disabilities.
The age demographic would be
8 to 18. Games could be up to the teacher or student to chose. Games might
include soccer, football, basketball, etc.
Students could learn about
various historical or fictional characters and create them as players for their
team. It would allow the student to study history, philosophy, religion,
sports, popular culture, etc. and then create the characters to be a part of
their team. The students would even be able to play along side their created
characters.
In this example I used PS4
Madden 17. On some of the teams historical figures like Martin Luther King, and
Abraham Lincoln will play on the same team with authors like Ernest Hemingway
and William Shakespeare, or Elvis Presley and Tupac Shakur.
The process is meant to be a
simple and fun way for kids to learn.
Maybe PS4/XBOX machines might
be donated or discounted to schools for these classes.
More on the paper as it is
fleshed out. Enjoy the simulations.
