    Twitter Targetting by location

    Just type near:"Cheltenham" in search or whatever other location, will work regardless of the UI version. The Advanced search dialog just helps you use less known search operators, nothing special about it. API docs have a more comprehensive list too BTW.

    Dealing with client suicide

    Well, if these views were truly so repulsive and dangerous I just wouldn't take the job unless they changed their ways. Now, if they issued a sincere apology that's plenty of material to work with as an ORM professional.

    puppeteer in twitter

    Clicking seems to be broken. The coordinates get messed up. Perhaps only works in headless. You can log all mouse clicks with this to see what's going on: monitorEvents(document.body, 'click'); One option is to just trigger the clicks via js.
