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.

Judge dismisses charges against father-son duo accused of shooting at Black FedEx driver
SUMMARY: Charges against Gregory and Brandon Case, accused of shooting at Black FedEx driver D’Monterrio Gibson in Brookhaven, have been dropped. In November 2022, the duo faced attempted murder and conspiracy charges, but a mistrial led to the dismissal of their cases due to the Brookhaven Police Department’s detective, Vincent Fernando, allegedly withholding crucial evidence. This included a videotaped interview with Gibson. The judge ruled the defendants were denied due process and a fair trial, citing “numerous intentional discovery violations.” Therefore, the Cases cannot be retried for these offenses, as their charges have been dismissed with prejudice.

SUMMARY: Congress officially certified Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election on January 6, 2025, a stark contrast to the violent events of January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol. This year, proceedings unfolded without unrest, amid heavy security and a significant snowstorm. Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the ceremony, which included applause from both parties despite Trump’s contentious return to power. The election results were accepted, and changes to the Electoral Count Act aimed to prevent previous objections. Critics warn that Trump’s clearance for pardons raises concerns about democracy’s health in America.
