Biloxi native has journey on ‘The Voice’ saved by Gwen Stefani
SUMMARY:
Biloxi native Deon Jones participated in the battle rounds of season 26 of The Voice, where his powerful performance led Gwen Stefani to steal him for her team after he was ousted by Danny Joseph. Despite entering the round at a disadvantage, Jones showcased his remarkable talent alongside Joseph in a rendition of "It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World." Coaches praised both contestants for their passion and energy. Ultimately, Reba McEntire chose Joseph as the winner of the battle. However, Stefani’s steal allowed Jones to continue his journey on the show, expressing gratitude for the opportunity.

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.

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.
