The Juice Media: "Congratulations President Trump"
The Australien Government has made an ad about our next federal election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

  Yes, agree. I'd equate neoliberalism with enshittification.

Sam Corbin, a words and language writer for The New York Times, comparing the ADS WOTY with the likes from prominent dictionaries, wrote that "the American Dialect Society celebrates linguistic variation to an almost absurd degree". Starting with about 30 society members in early years, as of 2023 the vote drew some 300 participants. Recently the event consists of two parts: the live nominating session, which culls the nominations open to public a month in advance, and the live vote. 2023 Word of the Year: enshittification Most useful/Most likely to succeed: (derogatory): parenthetical comment humorously appended after a word that might not be expected to be derogatory Political Word of the Year: 🍉 (watermelon emoji): symbol of Palestinian solidarity used on social media Digital Word of the Year: enshittification ...
