    Gymnast Jordan Chiles, the 25-year-old Olympian known for capturing team gold in Paris, recently lent her gift for inspiration to 10,000 Girl Scouts when she spoke at the triennial convention in Washington D.C. known as Girl Scouts Unite. I had the pleasure of speaking with her when she was offstage, and she shared with me a piece of advice she got from her mom that I will not soon forget. “Be the next Jordan Chiles,” she said she told her. “Be the next you.” Because aiming to be the best versio

    Before I even entered the Washington, D.C. convention center, I heard the excited chirps and shouts coming from the girls and young women inside.

    Unless your kid is headed to college in the fall, the university they’re likely talking about this week is something completely different: Streamer University, which just wrapped up its second academic year.

He launched his YouTube presence in 2018 before later switching to live-streaming platform Twitch. That’s where he became a Gen Z household name as his “subathon,”

    Don't Get Caught 'Larping' by Gen Z! Here's What the Slang Term Means. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’m a native New Yorker who recently got to witness the iconic blue and orange of the Knicks flooding the city’s streets. It was hard to miss! But while many saw it as an expression of fan enthusiasm, some Gen Zers saw it as something else: a perfect example of “larping.” Once used as an acronym meaning “live action role playing” and referring to immersive, character-based games, the term has been repurposed by Gen Z into slang used to describe peers who put on a fake persona for the public, par
