There is one script for every reality home renovation show. Whoever wrote it is a genius and must be making a fortune. The script includes:
Knock out this wall between the kitchen & dining room to give a more open feel.
In the living room I want to use the fireplace to anchor the room and give it a focal point.
Then in the kitchen we’ll put a big island for the kids to do homework and eat breakfast.
New hardwood floors throughout to add continuity throughout the home.
The master bedroom should be a sanctuary.
The master bath should have a spa like feel.
For that random unexpected corner because there’s no architect on staff: we’ll make this a cozy reading nook.
Oh no! Once we started demo we realized a major problem. All this termite damage and rotted girders... that’s gonna run you another $7,000.
(Which is amazing because it should cost like $60,000...)
Then finally- decor. Random old stacked books supporting a mason jar with a single daisy.
A HUGE clock. I mean HUGE.
Take some crap the kids made and frame it like it’s Basquiat.
Artichokes in a wood bowl.
Whoever wrote this script has entertained more people than Netflix. Every episode the same. Every plot the same. Every design the same. And every day millions of us watch.
Genius. True genius.

I didn't watch the Grammy's and I don't really follow pop music. My favorite musicians are dead. But I got some thoughts about what everyone's tweeting up in arms and it has to do with originality. So here goes:
The WAP performance... I'm an 80's child. Madonna made out with Black Jesus who came down from the cross. You think WAP is going to "shock" me? There's nothing original about this. Call it crass or vulgar- sure. But, quite honestly, it's boring. So, so boring.
Same with the boy band dude who wore a boa.
After David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Boy George, George Michael... you think I'm gonna jump at a Brit wearing women's clothes?
So, so boring... I mean we've seen all this for DECADES.
Loving all the DMs telling me renewables are NOT to blame for #TexasBlackout.
Green energy is NOT perfect. That's a non-controversial statement. If you don't accept it, we're done talking.
I don't waste time on intellectual children.
Fossil Fuels are not perfect either. That's not the issue.
The question is: given the cost, the lifestyle we demand as Americans, geopolitics, geology, physics, math, land use, etc what is the best mix of energy?
Politicians know this. That's why they talk about dietary regulation. Veganism. Banning the combustion engine. Heck, Bill Gates was just on 60 minutes talking about the sacrifice we must make. They know something has to give and they chose quality of life.
Hearing reports the great state of Texas is struggling with the electric grid and has asked residents to turn down their heat.
This is America’s future. The money behind “green energy” doesn’t care if it works. They are looking for ROI.
Your life is not their concern.
.@GovAbbott has a moral responsibility to ensure these wind and solar political stunts don’t risk people’s lives.
And they are political stunts. That’s why politicians push them and not free markets and free people.
Democrats never forced you to buy an iPhone. Why?
I’d welcome an honest conversation about renewables. What they cost. Where they are made. How much land they require. How many fossil fuels they need. What they do to utility prices.
But that conversation will never happen because you need adults- not politicians- at the table.
Americans don’t have the luxury of #climatechange activism. We’re too busy living.
It’s a globalist rich and misanthropic cause. All the solutions require government growth and the prevention of economic opportunity. It condemns the poor and gathers the rich in fancy resorts.
