Yes, it’s in the dictionary: ‘Brain rot’ named Oxford Word of the Year
SUMMARY: Oxford University Press has chosen “brain rot” as its Word of the Year for 2023, defined as the deterioration of mental state due to excessive consumption of trivial online content. This slang term saw a 230% increase in usage this year and reflects concerns about the impact of low-quality content on our lives. While it may seem contemporary, its first recorded use was in Thoreau’s 1854 “Walden.” This choice highlights society’s ongoing dialogue about technology and its effects on well-being, following previous years’ selections that reveal the influence of internet culture on language.

Yazoo pumps project proponents optimistic after new federal backing
SUMMARY: After 83 years, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued a final environmental impact statement (EIS) for the long-debated Yazoo Backwater pumps project in Mississippi. The project aims to mitigate flooding in an area that experienced severe flooding in 2011, causing over $800 million in damage. The proposed solution includes high-volume pumps, groundwater wells, and property buyouts, with participation from residents. While proponents argue it will protect agriculture and communities, critics warn it could harm ecologically significant wetlands. Mississippi Senators Wicker and Hyde-Smith support the project, emphasizing the need for federal collaboration to advance it. Public review of the EIS ends December 30.
