I'm relieved @merriam-webster.com chose "slop" as the word of the year!
I recorded a WOTY episode Friday with @jesszafarris.bsky.social and @linguisticdiscovery.com, and M-W hadn't made its choice yet. But The Economist & Macquarie Dictionary had already chosen "slop," so it's in the show.

I also recently read Breath by @mrjamesnestor, & found it fascinating (I gave 6 copies to friends)—it's clear that simple changes to breathing patterns can have profound effects on both the body & mental health. I took a class in @Sudarshankriiya; I do the exercises near-daily.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.
