Boing Boing Staging

Trains Botting: twitterbot posts a new emoji train landscape every 4 hours

Trains Botting/@choochoobot is a new twitterbot from prolific botmaster and EFF staffer Parker Higgins.


Every four hours, the bot posts a new, randomly generated train landscape made from emojis. It even has its own fan-made canon to explain why there’s a steam loco pulling catenary-equipped carriages: this is after the tech. singularity and man has only recently repurposed the carriages to operate by steam.” “But wouldn’t humanity be uploaded to the ‘net during the singularity and become one with the machine mind?” “We resisted, hence the Techno Wars and return to pre-industrial mechanics.”

Be sure and try your computer’s text-to-speech interface on its posts.
