given a text file containing stopwords, return a python list of its contents.
this list is optimized for twitter/social media and filters out stuff
like RT, nowplaying,  lastfm, 4sq etc.


def get_stopwords(file='stopwords.txt'):
        words = open(file,'r')
        stopwords = [word.strip() for word in words]
	return set(stopwords)
