It will follow Dash's struggles and successes, documenting her return to the public eye after being dismissed as a polarizing, outspoken conservative.

"This has been a work in progress since I became clean and sober five and a half years ago," Dash said. "Interior design has always been a personal passion and a dream of mine. This may not be easy, but it’s 'a new thing,' and I am excited to embark on this journey, work with top designers and inspire others to learn from their own mistakes and pursue their dreams, too."

Walker: Independence, a prequel to the CW series Walker, is set in the late 1800s and follows Abby Walker, an affluent Bostonian whose husband is murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West.

They're 1883-ing [the reboot of] Walker, Texas Ranger?!

Los Angeles restaurateur Andy Nguyen in April plans to open the first restaurant based on a "Bored Ape."

To do that, however, Nguyen had to join the community himself. And that meant spending more than $267,000 to purchase a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT earlier this month.

That ape — and Nguyen also bought two more "mutant" ape NFTs at a lower price — will serve as a cornerstone of the branding for Bored & Hungry, which will appear on the packaging and employee uniforms.

The menu at Bored & Hungry will be built around an IRL dish dubbed the Trill Burger, a multi-patty smashburger that borrows from the Oklahoma-style onion burger, heavy on the caramelized onions and topped with a special sauce.

Trill Burgers is a brand Nguyen is looking to grow in Houston. [source]

I'd comment on the palates of crypto bros, but I remembered that Gary Vee is opening a private NFT dining club in New York City next year featuring a sushi omakase room that "will showcase fresh fish flown in daily from Japan."

"The World's First NFT Restaurant" beaten to the punch by a repurposed burger with a JPEG slapped on.

Imagine being a server at a restaurant where membership is purchased through an NFT. No fucking tips.
