President Joe Biden, on a West Coast fundraising swing, attended a shiva to mourn Norman Lear, who died this week at age 101.
Biden attended the shiva at the Lear residence, according to the White House.
The president and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a longtime friend of Lear’s, also paid tribute to him at a Hollywood-centric fundraiser for the Biden-Harris reelection campaign.
Biden said at the event, “His cast of characters painted a — a fuller picture of America, of our hopes and our hardships, our fears, our resilience, and changed the way we look at ourselves.
“In explaining his approach to getting the laugh — to get us to laugh and think, Norman Lear said, and I quote, ‘You stand a better chance if you can get them caring first’ — ‘if you can get them caring first.’ Folks, at our best, we’re a nation that cares.” The president, referring...

On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every day of the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. Today’s Free Movie of the Day is a rather unique one, as it’s a thriller that’s told from the perspective of the lead character’s shadow. That description might lead you to think the movie is somehow filmed from a shadow’s point of view, but that’s not the case. In this movie, which is called Apotheosis, the voiceover narration is being delivered by a person’s shadow. I’ve definitely never seen or heard that done before. You can watch the movie over on the YouTube channel linked above, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.
