The “dear Harold” advice card
My friend Dylan Matthews is starting/resuming an advice column. He’s a busy person. I thought I would save him some time by encapsulating the sum total of wise advice on the below index card. I could only fit half of the world’s wise advice on one card. So I suppose Dylan’s column is still needed.
Regular readers will be shocked that it tilts in the direction of #dadtweet advice….
