Bot / scraper / text engine

Our American Gods

A satirical bot that scraped Google News topics and scripture, then recombined them into short social posts. It is an early automation pattern: messy inputs, a rule system, and a scheduled output with a point of view.

System loop

  • Scrape public topic material from a news source.
  • Scrape and filter source text from a scripture endpoint.
  • Replace repeated phrase structure with current topic language.
  • Publish short generated text through the Twitter API.

Why it belongs

It belongs because the shape still shows up in later work: take messy source material, define constraints, keep the loop inspectable, and make the output specific enough to have a point of view.
