A couple weeks ago, we saw the Northern Lights from a 26th-floor balcony. It was epic. Made us feel small, insignificant, yet connected. Dust amongst dust. Not sure this has anything to do with our galaxy, scientifically speaking, but these photos reminded us. In fact, we’ll share a photo we took of the Northern Lights down in today’s GTFO.  Space out.   What Should You Do with Your Stuff Before You Die? If no one wants them, toss our belongings right into the hotbox with us. Take it all to ashes. Beats having to death clean. If you think we’re spending our twilight years garage sale-ing our knick knacks, think again. We’ll leave it to American capitalism to figure this one out. By the time we’re ready to die, there will be an app for this sort of thing.  Or maybe even, fingers crossed, a robot.   Dopamine, Explained Rich people used to embody abundance. They ate a little too much. Drank a little too much. Smoked a little too much. They were called the Leisure Class for good reason. Now, rich people spend their money on reduction. Silent retreats, fasting programs, dopamine detoxing. Not trying to poo-poo these things.  Just pointing out none of those things actually need to cost money.   The Mixer 14 NYC beaches you can get to without a car. How much a trip to Florida with kids costs. What the science says about CBD for pets. Some breakfast recipe inspiration. Can a dead body still get a sun tan? Seeing the real world inside a virtual one. The most incredible hotel pools in SoCal. Valuable relics that were used as literal doorstops.     /GTFO Taken by ELEVATOR Editor     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
