Version:	0.10.0
Date:	2026-10-08
Description:	Starting on the afternoon of July 17, 2026, Kevin Kruse fired off an astonishing array of 'BlueSky' replies to an initial post of his featuring a certain government figure: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:cnpe7qvcyjrhm6w7w7e4atur/post/3mqum4mxsuk2g. This lasted a week and generated nearly seven hundred posts. A second wave started on August 12, 2026, with this post: https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mstvbjpagc2a. A third wave started on August 17, 2026, with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mtcpiw7gi22j. A fourth wave started on August 27, 2026, with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mu3pugs2yk2f. A fifth wave ran on August 30, 2026, beginning with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mudbzy5ksk25. A sixth wave started September 4, 2026, with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3muparqtdkk2w. A seventh wave started September 12, 2026, with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mvdol6xu5k2s. An eighth wave started September 16, 2026, with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mvnmq23nw22y. A ninth wave started October 1, 2026 with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mwtx2jztkk2g. A tenth wave started October 4, 2026, with https://bsky.app/profile/kevinmkruse.bsky.social/post/3mx333hlmdc2o. All of the over seventeen hundred posts from these series start with 'My man ...' and make for excellent input to a 'fortunes'-like package. So this small package obliges and offers a random draw each time its myman() function is called. The overall package structure follows package 'fortunes', and 'atrrr' was used to (bulk-)retrieve posts. Neither package is required to run this package to display random selections.
