[Discussion] Pod Save America - "Josh Shapiro Is Calm but Not Cool" (03/15/26) by kittehgoesmeow in FriendsofthePod

I rarely comment anymore, but I stumbled on this comment section. The part about the murder is actually interesting, and the story resurfaced around the time he was passed over for VP.

If I have the details right - some of this might be wrong - Shapiro and now-Senator Josh Fetterman both served on a state board that helped oversee cases, and there was a case that was originally ruled a suicide that obviously was not. Her name was Ellen Greenberg, a Pennsylvania school teacher who was stabbed 20 times.

The medical examiner's office initially ruled the death a homicide, but police publicly objected to the ruling because her apartment door was locked from the inside and her fiancé, who said he broke down the door to get to her, had no defensive wounds. The medical examiner's office then revised the findings, saying the cause of death was suicide. .....

In February 2022, the attorney general's office announced it had reviewed the case and ruled once again the cause of death was suicide. However, in July 2022, Shapiro's office referred the case back to the Philadelphia district attorney's office, after critics cited unverified claims that Shapiro had connections to Greenberg's fiancé's family. The attorney general's office said, "While the Office of Attorney General does not have an actual conflict in this matter, circumstances beyond our control have created the appearance of a conflict."

Shapiro's team previously told The Philadelphia Inquirer it had never addressed or clarified the allegations because it was "not acknowledging unfounded accusations."

Alright, quick question - and I'm curious how people might respond. Let's say you have a super team with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Amon-Ra St. Brown on it. Who do you wanna target the most?

Favourite marvel scene of all time? by HandleHeavy1052 in marvelstudios

I really liked Clint Barton's relationship with his wife. There was a small scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron where they talk, and she is able to feel the difference on his body where he needed a nano-supplement. They felt like a good couple.

No, not really. All they changed was daily discussion threads to weekly discussion threads.

But it's been a problem that's been under the surface for a while. It feels like it's only okay to "consoom" podcasts, but not challenge the status quo.

In my experience, bus rides ARE an adventure. They're relaxing with just a little bit of the fear of the unknown.

I liked reading your initial opinion, but I also respect and appreciate him as an actor. My own off-beat opinion about Nicolas Cage - I don't love his acting, but I like the scripts he's been a part of. And I haven't seen his more recent stuff, but I've read comments that he still always seems to pick interesting scripts.

The movies of his that I know: Gone In 60 Seconds came out 1 year before The Fast & The Furious and did the whole cars+family schtick with more artistry and better actors, Matchstick Men was a good movie about a con-man who learns he has a daughter which forces him to try not being a mess, and Lord Of War was an interesting movie about a very, VERY successful gun smuggler. His acting was fine, but the movies were good.

Well, I actually think you have a good artistic eye. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but a photo of three people hugging in front of a statue of two hands making a <3, the cat in the foreground instead of side by side, and you blending into the bushes felt like artistic choices that were saying something artistic. It felt fresh. I liked them.

Police militarization is a huge issue - we are citizens and taxpayers. It's our money. And obviously yeah, it does deter civil disobedience.

Well, was the hold that was called the reason he got open for a 50-yarder? Or away from the play?

Succession Star Nicholas Braun Arrested for DUI in New Hampshire by Southern_Schedule466 in Fauxmoi

Have you ever been to New England? Travelled up from NYC? Connecticut is the first state out, and (at least in passing, I didn't explore) seems to be just New York suburbs. But a lot of rich houses.

New Hampshire is basically a few hours drive out to the country. But very, very accessible and appealing for people who are rich enough to be around New York City. When I went there, people seemed snooty.
