With the death of the Belgian theoretical physicist François #Englert on 18 June at the age of 93 - https://home.cern/francois-englert-1932-2026/ - all three 'fathers' of the Brout-Englert-Higgs field have passed away: Englert's associate Robert Brout had died in 2011, its independent proposer Peter Higgs in 2024. Particles thus no longer have mass: hold them tight ...

Just bought this killer violet vinyl of one of my favorite LPs of 2024 (and my all time favorite dungeon synth record), Warlock Corpse's 'Bloody Tears of the Desert'. Only 200 of these made- if you like dungeon synth at ALL..

"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

During the first seven months of his presidency, the administration arrested the parents of at least 27,000 children.
During this period in 2025, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was deporting about twice as many parents each month compared with 2024.
The records do not detail how many of these children were detained or deported with their parents, and how many families were split up.
But the data provides one of the starkest views yet of how Trump’s mass depo…
