In a time of political turmoil, Imran Khan’s declaration, “I have one last card, but I won’t play it yet,” has raised eyebrows, signaling that the PTI founder is preparing for significant actions ahead. His words, full of determination, reflect his strategy of waiting for the right moment to take decisive steps, especially in the aftermath of the D-Chowk incident that shook the nation.
Meanwhile, in an ongoing battle for justice, Oxford University Press has named “Brain Rot” as the word of the year for 2024. The term, popular among the youth, describes the mental toll of excessive digital content consumption, resonating with concerns about the impact of online exposure on mental health. The word surged in usage by 230% from 2023 to 2024, especially among Gen Z and Alpha, who use it to highlight the dangers of digital overload.
Oxford’s choice reflects a broader cultural shift, as people, particularly younger generations, grapple with the consequences of virtual life. It also echoes the broader conversation about how we spend our time, both online and offline. This choice follows previous picks like Riz in 2023, continuing Oxford’s trend of spotlighting terms that reflect societal changes.
