On the Blue Zone island of Ikaria is this tiny beach called Seychelles. It was created by a somewhat recent landslide so travel to it is by a relatively dangerous hike or a water taxi. I saw plenty of hikers of all abilities reach the beach, but many looked uneasy with the last bit. Big white rocks next to yellow rocks meets the perfect Turquoise water.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

Possum o’clock.
