  Several accounts for prominent journalists have been suspended. I guess freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of the press:
  Aaron Rupar (@atrupar)
  Drew Harwell (@drewharwell)
  Donie O'Sullivan (@donie)
  Ryan Mac (@rmac18)
  Matt Binder (@mattbinder)

  It appears Twitter has banned the accounts of Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) and Washington Post reporter @drewharwell. Unclear why, but this seems to be the final tweet from Harwell.

  I think this answers my larger question about whether social media is a platform for free expression, or whether it's a media publication. No one would bat an eye if NYT denied Elon Musk editorial privileges at their newspaper. So Twitter is Musk's newspaper now

  TBH ChatGPT is now part of my kids' bedtime ritual. They take turns coming up with prompts and ChatGPT will hallucinate a story, which daddy reads aloud dramatically. Maybe it's not a sophisticated tale but it's a pretty fantastic and personal experience.
