gollark: There are probably libraries for it, but I just have an incredibly janky implementation based on weekday numbering.
gollark: It was very simple apart from actually rendering the calendar like that, which was oddly hard.

gollark: I did make a political opinion calendar program recently, so that instead of having opinions you can just put some on the calendar and read your political opinion for the day off it.
