This Is Watergate is a twitter bot that generates fake White House tapes dialogue. It works by learning how White House tapes sound, using a large corpus of White House tapes transcripts. It then uses a Queneau sentence generator from the Olipy library on GitHub to generate new fake White House tapes dialogue.

This is an interesting rabbit hole of things to learn more about and write more about. A funny metaphor for understanding the roles of bureaucracy and machines in bureaucracy.
Bot Control Panel
In order to start bots at startup, I created a startup script that will spin off instances of each bot into a separate screen. This script is then added to the list of startup scripts, so that if the machine dies, the bots will start again when the machine is restarted.
Here's how that works:
- I called screen from the command line (actually from a script) in a way that starts a detached, headless screen in the background.
- Each screen runs a bot flock (a group of related bots), and runs them forever until something goes terribly wrong.
- I added this script to
/etc/rc.local to make it run on boot.
Here's the script:
#!/bin/sh
# -d -m
# Start screen in "detached" mode.
# Create new session but do not attach to it.
# Useful for scripts.
# -S
# This option can give a name to the new screen.
# Apollo bot flock
/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S apollo /usr/bin/python /apollospacejunk/bot/ApolloBotFlock.py
# Ginsberg bot flock
/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S ginsberg /usr/bin/python /ginsberg/bot/GinsbergBotFlock.py
# Milton bot flock
