+Tiny botched-together python script to replace (some) emoji with classic
+smileys. I have never written python before, so forgive any transgressions.
+
+Takes text with unicode emojis on standard input, spits out emojis replaced by
+either classic smileys (`:-)`) or textual variants (`:joy:`) on standard
+output.
+
+Needs
+```
+pip3.12 install emoji-data-python
+```
+or whatever your platform wants.
+
+There are probably a million better ways to do this.
+
+(I'll be using this, at some point, in front of my Pleroma-Gopher interface).
