Daniel Craig's "Ladies and gentlemen, the weekend" mastodon bot

This bot is based on the original twitter handle "ladies and gentlemen, the weekend 😌" which will publish Daniel Craig video every weekend. I missed seeing this on mastodon, hence spent some time to build this. You can follow @CraigWeekend@techhub.social mastodon account to get the toot.

How it works

Nothing fancy, just a cron job that runs at 12:00 AM UTC on every saturday.
