    Hi friends
    This week I wanted to share my thoughts on the summer. Especially how it’s been a remarkable time highlighting the most deserving and talented black women in their respective fields.
    Women have been making amazing strides in education, expanding their numbers in STEAM and finally getting more recognition in the arts.
    Lauren Scruggs was the first black woman to win an individual medal in fencing.
    Simone Biles has officially become the most decorated gymnast of all time winning gold and then silver in the Olympics.
    Simone shot back some shade at some of her detractors, one in particular by posting herself with the Olympic team after their gold win.
    Kamala Harris is also going full steam ahead with her campaign and today announcing Tim Walz as her running mate.
    If you love my stories I have a podcast that comes out every week: bit.ly/3NQmpio

      That was for floor. Simone won 3 gold medals (Teams, All Around, and Vault) and got a silver for Floor. She unfortunately didn't medal for Beam due to an uncharacteristic fall, but given that it's usually unlikely for the All Around gold medalists to medal in other events (mostly because they used all of their energy to get the All Around medal, that's normal (it's kind of what happened with Sunisa Lee, and even then she still got bronze in Bars).
      (Though I know this is off topic, the Italians surprised everyone by having an Italian gold medalist for Beam and they won silver for Teams. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but Italy NEVER medals, it's usually the USA, China, Russia or Romania who medal. Both Italy and Brazil were dark horses this year, Italy more so since they don't even have their own Rebeca Andrade and they did as usual in the last Olympics)
      Frankly, a lot of people aren't also talking about how both Simone Biles and even Rebeca Andrade are also outliers since there's not many Olympic Gymnasts who are 27 and 25 and competing at their level. At their age, many gymnasts are retiring and both medalled!

      ​@alarin612 The Bridgerton sons have many hobbies & fencing is one. It is shown on screen too. However much more screen time is given to boxing & they spectate more than they participate. If you're going to say "this didn't happen on this show" it's best to be caught up with all the seasons and episodes. Now that said, nobody NEEDS to watch Bridgerton. It just strikes me if you want to be pedantic enough to correct people, at least be correct.

There was no way for me to guess. I did NOT look at the marquee and the people in line said nothing. When the two people came on stage I closed my ears, and then figured out it was comedy. I closed my ears until the HEADLINER came on and it was JOSH. I was excited, I almost screamed. I smiled so hard and laughed even harder. Great show, did not disappoint.

    I think the funniest part about the eating in the dark story is that no one else said anything about the dark, and no one thought to turn on the flashlight on their phone and set it on the table as a light.

    • @anndeecosita3586
      @anndeecosita3586 Месяц назад +1

      I think that would help but the range span of the light wouldn’t that great especially if it’s lying flat on the table. Lighting Candles would be the better option. Most people I know keep candles and real deal flashlights in case of power outages from storms.

    I felt so attacked as a French when he said "the first Black woman to get a gold medal in fencing"! I know many Americans do not care about fencing (that's ok) and font know anything about other countries (that's NOT okay), but Laura Flessel is a LEGEND in France, and I think she's pretty famous worldwide, as far as "fencing famous" carries you. She's the only fencer most people in France can name anyway.
    Just a small comment to educate you.
    BTW, her first two gold medals were won in the USA, in Atlanta in 1996!

      Your beef is with education structure on a grand scale. Plus not everyone watches the Olympics to recall names. I can say it’s possible you’re not familiar with what goes on here in America regarding African Americans from what you just said here & that would still be due to information available or lacking. You gotta be here to know just like we got to be there to know is what it is.

      Have you ever been to a black church? How about a black owned business? Attended an HBCU? Probably not because if you had, youd likely know what a BLACK JOB is. When someone mentions black unemployment at historic lows under Trump or massive funding for HBCUs that had never been done before TRUMP it's not black empowerment. And during the debate, it was the guy from the party that started the KKK, founded and enforced Jim Crow laws, built unstable and unreliable section 8 project houses, killed Lincoln, and the party of the same guy who said if you don't vote for him you ain't black and introduced the Crime Bill of the 90s to keep control over the "racial jungle" that mentioned black jobs first. That would be the Democrat party. The party that has been promising you better for 60 years and never coming through and saying it's because the other side when they have had control the MAJORITY of the time and when they have the congress and presidency they fund corporations and increase taxes and if you don't agree with them you are racist and sexist and that same party is now behind Harris who is so Black now, she married a white Jewish guy and is step-mom to his white babies but wants you to kill your black babies and encourages you to do so. Take your emotions out of it and look at what they have done and stop listening to what they say and you will be finally woke. When you wake I hope you aren't sad for being so naive to let them trick you and lie to you. Republicans have their problems too but the dems are just evil. They will destroy this country and they don't care about the people they just want the power.

    Picking a switch is how I learned how to identify dried wood (and how to hide a stash of it in the garden shed) 🤣

    I love fencing (not good at it, but love watching) and imo, Josh gives it a brutally honest description. Lol!… He’s so good.

    Somewhere in an alternate universe Josh is the professional fencer and Lauren Scruggs is the comedian 😂

    I left Atlanta about 20 years ago and I'm thrilled to hear that Variety Playhouse is still vibing!
    Great set at a great venue.
    Big ups Josh
    Mad love
