wikidaily

this repo makes use of a one-liner created by everest pipkin in a twitter thread.

been having some motivation troubles recently (god who hasn't) so i'm gonna pick a tiny personal project off my ideas list and see if i can get it working by morning. tonight - a lil bash script that emails me the summaries of 5 random wikipedia articles each morning
