      openai buying tbpn makes a ton of sense. i’ve always said every company should view themselves as a media company. 
      
      distribution is the key.

      Good morning, friends! Today is the day. My very first Yappy Hour stream! Hang out in the chat, be silly, vent, make friends - it’s super chill.
      I know it’s a holiday for some, but if you’re around, come on over! 🥰

      Anyone know of a good terminal client for Mac that will allow me to group my tabs into sets of e.g. a few tabs per OSS project.
      
      Ideally something that has a VS-code like project sidebar or something.
