A new format for my newsletter

Of python, pretense, and possibilities

I’m going to attempt using GoToSocial’s RSS for driving my workflow over the next few weeks to see if it sticks.

Right now, I’m proficient with VS Code, python, and the prior workflow I optimized for Hot Fudge Daily. Ideally, I’d like to

  • Get everything driven from CLI or cron (why not both?)
  • Use Markdown that is simple and portable (image processing?)
  • Leverage prior python scripts (because refactoring is needed)
  • Break up the daily topical (to be more more thinkish)
  • Drop the pretense of title’s with dates that lack context (because 🌶️ Hot Fudge Sunday for 2025-12-07 doesn’t quite sell it, ya know?)
  • Unbury the lede (Descriptions become telling titles)

My first thought was a possible IASIP / Kidde commercial crossover where Frank dons a nanofibril ghillie suit and plays the flute.
