Not until April 1967â42 years after the Butler Law was passed, and 12 years after Inherit the Wind, a play based on the Scopes Monkey Trial, became a Broadway hitâdid the Tennessee Legislature repeal the anti-evolution law.
Emoji have become an unofficial universal language in everyday communication. It almost feels like some people were born knowing the proper usage of each one. For instance, there's no doubt that the tears of joy emoji is used as a way to tell someone you're laughing so hard that you're crying.
This is the most-used emoji on Instagram. Emojis are changing social media in a big way. At the end of April, the application released a new feature that allows users to include the tiny characters in hashtags. That way, people can search for specific emojis (or emoji combinations) when exploring content on the platform. It's quickly becoming a trend. Over a one-month period, individual emojis on Instagram were hashtagged more than 6.4 million times, according to Curalate, a visual marketing and analytics firm.
