Screenshot before "suppression":

• OS: MacOS Catalina 10.15.7
• Python version: 3.8.5
• Package Version: 0.2.7 (but was detected on a 0.2.8 dev build)

Describe the bug
I made a new file and ran
`import randfacts

x = randfacts.get_fact()

print(x)`

It is giving me
return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 2678: character maps to <undefined>

Expected behavior
It should give me a fact

Please complete the following information:

• OS: Windows 10
• Python version: python 3.9.5
• Versionn: 0.7.3

I found an old fact that is now no longer true. Specifically, it's this one: "Every tweet Americans send is being archived by the Library of Congress." The Library stopped this in the year 2017 according to the date of an NPR post on the topic (https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/12/26/573609499/library-of-congress-will-no-longer-archive-every-tweet).

I believe ChatGPT 3.5 is relying heavily on this repository. OpenAI may even be catching queries for facts directly and intercepting it to reply almost directly from here.
one it tends to like is this one:

• Did you know that the shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and Great Britain in 1896? The war lasted just 38 minutes.
• The shortest war in recorded history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896. The war lasted only 38 minutes.
• The shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and Britain in 1896 and lasted only 38 minutes.
