Bot which posts a section from a Project Gutenberg book which happens to mention the current date, and links to the book, surfacing all kinds of curious old writing you never knew existed.
[“The current date” of course may not quite match your date, because timezones.]
Hi! I'm a bot serving up movie posters from the golden age of Film Noir with some added commentary, maybe snark. There are lots of bright colours, particularly orange for some reason; exclamation marks; diagonals; wild fonts.
[Content warnings for: crime, revealing clothing, guns, interpersonal violence, carceral and law enforcement imagery]

(mais plus sérieusement, j'avais eu l'occasion de faire une liste là https://eldritch.cafe/@VioB/109405727830775643 y a quelques temps et plus généralement le hastag #FollowFriday permet de trouver des recos d'autres personnes (ce qui fait que s'il y a des noms qui reviennent régulièrement dans le thread ça augmente la proba que ça soit des gens cools))
Today is Sweetmorn, the 34th day of The Aftermath in the YOLD 3191
Forget #FollowFriday, it's #SubscribeToTheseSpagsSweetmorn!
