I'd be delighted if the deep fried version of "crying laughing emoji" were to become a thing: "open eye crying laughing emoji" To me it signifies something that holds the middle between glee, hysterical laughter and psychotic rage. Unicode really misses a codepoint with this specific energy, in my opinion.

It should become a modifier so you can add psychotic energy to any emoji. I support adding as much complexity as possible until emoji transcends languages to become the ultimate communication medium or collapses under the weight.

  Soon we will have machine to machine communication between large language models, where they communicate their internal state using high dimensional vector streams of emoji modifiers

I know it won't happen because of course it won't, but in general I feel as though the world would be better if corporations were more unhinged when it comes to design. Un-deprecate <marquee>, use images with non-transparent backgrounds, really just go for it.

  You bet! I'd actually take time to open our inane corporate newsletters if they included something actually worth looking at instead of bland images of well dressed humans laughing at laptops. It seems we've entered a perennial age of bland safety, from inoffensive language to soft bland visual design to my fucking car beeping at me when I dare open the door before shutting off the engine.

    Along those lines, I wish the 1990s web designs with bold web-safe colors, like HotWired, would make a comeback. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotWired https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotWired
