Freebrain - RSS Feed reader

For Interbrain. Reads a list of RSS feeds from feeds.csv and pulls out the title and link. It breaks down the titles into words and aims to only get the most today's articles and merges them into the freebrain db using Cypher (locally hosted neo4j db). It also adds the connections between words (if they occured in the same article title) and adds those relationships to the db too.

I run this in python 3.9.5.
