Oxford’s Word of the Year Is ‘Brain Rot’ A slang term for supposed mental damage done by overconsumption of trivial online content triumphed over a shortlist that also included “lore,” “demure” and “slop.”

“Brain Rot” is the winner. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/a...

There’s something magical about reading children’s books, esp fantasy taking a break from the usual. Just finished with Impossible Creatures by Katherine Ruddell. Highly recommended. #edusky

I decided not to go. It would mean taking two days off then and then two days for our CSTA meeting right after.
