@tschfflr@fediscience.org"which emojis are used the least often?" - Great question, and we rarely find data on this! But luckily, we studied this at least for two corpora with German users (and admittedly only for face emojis). So: Many object or symbol emojis (from the "tail end" of the emoji list) are very, very rarely used. Overall, faces and hearts are the most frequent. Among the face emojis, we compiled the full list of usages from a huge Twitter corpus (semi-public communication, 2014-2022) and a much small WhatsApp chat corpus (private or group communication). You can find the frequencies in this table linked below (and sort by frequency by clicking on the column). The least frequent face emoji in the large corpus was the "frowning face with open mouth" 😦, which most people have never seen before. Personally, I think it's pretty ambiguous and not very useful, as there are better emojis for anything it might express. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

@waidler@bayerwald.socialMixl (AfD) postet: 206.600 Wohnungen 2025, –18 %, Baupreise 5 %. „Dank SPD und Union."
Die Zahlen stimmen. Nur: Was 2025 fertig wurde, wurde 2022/23 genehmigt – Zinsschock. Der ZDB nennt es „direkte Folge des Genehmigungseinbruchs ab 2022". Die Regierung ist seit Mai 2025 im Amt.
Und: Beim Bau-Turbo (§246e BauGB, 9.10.2025) – Genehmigung in 2 Monaten – stimmte die AfD dagegen.

@cdarwin@c.imMy mother brought me to this country from Peru as a young boy.
She always told me that we need to work hard, give back, and help our community,
because that is what it means to be an American.
When she died of COVID-19,
I promised I would fight like hell for every family like ours.
In 2022 my community sent me to Congress - the first openly LGBTQ immigrant ever elected - to do just that.
I’m Robert Garcia – now the top Democrat on the House Ov…

@tagesschau_eil@mastodon.social📢 Weidel und Chrupalla als AfD-Vorsitzende wiedergewählt
Alice Weidel und Tino Chrupalla bleiben Co-Chefs der AfD. Der Bundesparteitag in Erfurt bestätigte Chrupalla mit gut 70 Prozent im Amt - deutlich weniger als beim Parteitag vor zwei Jahren. Weidel erhielt etwas mehr als 81 Prozent der abgegebenen Stimmen. Chrupalla steht seit 2019 an der Spitze der in Teilen rechtsextremen Partei, Weidel seit 2022.

@ckent@urbanists.socialA reminder that the obsession 50 years ago was #overpopulation — it was the scary message next to every practical environmental message about pollution, etc
Fast forward to now, and the opposite is true — no longer a case of “don’t worry, it’s just wealthy nations breed less”
In fact, environmentalism was always right about pollution — but the scary message is everything cost…
@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caMy water bill came in recently, which is kind of appropriate considering all the pond talk.
Since building it, the front yard #pandemicPond very very rarely is topped up on its own from tap water. Generally we keep it full from rain water, the rain barrel, or as part of the general low-flow spray/water system for the yard in the summer. So our water consumption really is dependant on how much garden watering we are doing. I'm not surprised we were high last year as we watered the new green-driveway and young trees.
The #PoolPond might, or might not, be different given the sheer volume *and* surface area (ie. evaporation). We have a 1000L rainwater barrel in the back yard, but that would only be useful for replacing evaporation losses at best in the poolpond.
I'll have to fill it once or twice in the coming weeks and possibly once a year if I do an annual cleaning at the end of the summer. We'll see. This year will also feature a return of vegetation to the back yard, so we'll likely be watering it more than when it is established in a year or two.
The city splits our bill into 3 periods per year, which is a little weird but ok...
Our household consumption has varied quite a bit since the pandemic due to changes in household composition (kids moving to uni etc) or us being more or less active in the garden.
I am happy that we used very little water this winter/spring, the least since 2022. I expect it to spike in the current April-August period as both kids have returned and I'll be doing all this pond stuff. But if I can keep it under 150,000L ($150) on the August bill, I'll be happy.
In the coming years, if I can use less in the Fall, Winter and Spring to "save up" for Summer, that would be nice but minimizing all seasons will always be the goal. That's why more trees are going to happen in the backyard at some point. Shade=Less watering!
In all, I'm happy with the only modest rise in our water consumption over the past few years.
