"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

My 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…

All eight major streamers together cost about $151/month without ads or bundles, up from $90 in 2022, as prices rose more than 3x faster than inflation (James Hibberd/The Hollywood Reporter)

Streaming Is Raising Prices Faster Than Cable Ever Did
Congrats, you cut the cord. Now you have six more cords. Streaming prices are rising three times as fast as inflation, making escaping cable company greed now seem quaint.

(LinkedIn) Intracortical microstimulation (#ICMS) patterns affect cell-specific myelination, so myelin insulation is not a fixed given in brain stimulation https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tkozai_nih-f31-neuroengineering-share-7501087539794161664-sFwA/

🎉 Camila Garcia Padilla is now principal investigator on her own NIH grant. NINDS issued the Notice of Award for her F31 in August 2026 (F31NS147846) (she joined the lab 2022, as an ARCS Scholar). 🧠 Her fellowship links stimulation pattern to cell-specific myelination, and myelination to cognitive outcomes in Alzheimer's disease. Oligodendrocytes wrap cortical axons in myelin, and device engineers have treated that myelin as fixed insulation while stimulation stayed a neuronal problem. C…

"Saying no to the coup cost the pilot “many friendships”, he said. Even some military personnel still call him a “traitor” or a “watermelon”, a slur for soldiers seen as green on the outside because of their uniforms, but communist red within."

Das Framing "Klima-Extremismus" von Dobrindt verselbständigt sich jetzt. Zahlreiche Medien eskalieren jetzt zum Klimaterrorismus.
Der Begriff "Klimaterroristen" wurde noch 2022 zum Unwort des Jahres gekürt. Die Aktivisten würden damit "kriminalisiert und diffamiert".
