10 Things I'd Tell My High School-Graduating Self 🎓

I’ve got my own ideas, but I also tapped into the sage wisdom of that modern water cooler known for its critical thinking: Twitter. I told people on Twitter that I’d be speaking to you today, and what would they tell their past high-school-graduating selves? I already had my own thoughts, but I was curious about what other people might say — and I was pleasantly surprised that their ideas were similar to mine. In other words, there’s a consensus on the advice I’m about to dispense. Collectively, I’d say that, combined with the ages of these people, this advice is about 1,400 years old.

Guy Fieri Gains Food-World Respect

Guy Fieri: No longer the butt of jokes in the food world, says the New York Times.

“For nearly two decades, since before he mailed a reality-show audition tape to the network, Mr. Fieri has plainly believed he was a real musician, contributing worthy entries to the canon. What is striking now, long after the parody seemed to congeal, is that the wider food community stands ready to believe him.”
