a nice .emacs for when you are on a terminal. Respects scroll wheel events. Very useful when run inside of tmux and combined with this tmuxconf: https://gist.github.com/ftrain/8443744

# A script that takes a Twitter data archive, which is produced as a
# set of JavaScript files (different from the regular archive, which
# is CSV and HTML), and converts the `tweet.js` file, which contains
# all of the tweets, into tractable JSON, one tweet per line. It then
# inserts /that/ into a SQLite3 database, and extracts a simple
# relational table of tweets from the JSON. Finally, it runs datasette
# on the resulting database to allow you to explore.
