If Pennsylvania were an emoji it’d be this one, survey says

The emoji: a little image so simple, yet often comes with a multitude of meanings and context.
And if Pennsylvania was an emoji, it’d be this one.
According to a study conducted and published by OvidLife, over 2,400 survey respondents claimed that the bald eagle emoji represents Pennsylvania the best.
This might be because Philadelphia is the “birthplace of the United States,” as formative events such as the creation of the Constitution took place in the city. The report doesn’t give an explanation, though.
Arizona was given the cactus as its symbol — due to “its vast desert landscapes and iconic saguaro cacti,” the report reads — while New York received the Statue of Liberty.
The study also found how the Keystone State’s top emoji is the “rolling on floor laughing” face. This was the second most popular emoji in the U.S., coming just behind “face with tears of joy.”
But where there’s favorites, there’s least favorites: In Pennsylvania’s case, the most disliked emoji is the “pile of poo.” This one happens to be the least liked nationwide as well.
“No matter where you live, emojis add color, humor, and personality to the way we communicate,” the report concludes. “From laughing faces to state-proud symbols, they help capture the unique quirks of every corner of the country.
“Whether you’re throwing in a cowboy hat, a palm tree, or even some corn, there’s an emoji for everyone.”

Pennsylvania Gov. Shapiro recounts evacuating arson fire in pajamas

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Thursday provided new details about the arson fire early Sunday that prompted his family’s evacuation from the governor’s official residence in Harrisburg, recounting how wife and four kids and their two dogs — Bo and Bentley — were awakened by state police and guided to safety.
Shapiro spoke to reporters after his family served a catered lunch to Harrisburg firefighters in thanks for their role in responding to the blaze that is estimated to have caused millions in damage to the building and its contents. No one was hurt.
A suspect has been charged, and the motive is under investigation.
Shapiro is a first-term Democrat considered a potential candidate for president in 2028.
Here’s what Shapiro had to say about the attack, which burned the same room where his family and guests had a Passover Seder a few hours earlier.
A fire hours after holiday meal
“We concluded our Seder maybe around 10ish or so at night,” and guests, family and others were in private areas on the first floor, he said.
“Everybody was just enjoying one another and spending time celebrating not just the holiday but each other and enjoying each other’s company,” he said. Around midnight, they went upstairs and “spent an hour yelling at the kids to go to bed and they didn’t listen.”
“Said goodnight to the kids, got the dogs situated, and I’d say probably fell asleep around 1 o’clock in the morning,” Shapiro said.
Banging on the door
“Less than an hour later, I heard yelling in the hallway, which was not like our kids’ voices. It was one of the state troopers running down the hallway, and he banged on the door. I don’t know how he did it, but it wasn’t a knock. It was more of a bang,” he said.
Shapiro said he and his wife, Lori, were told there was a fire and they had to evacuate immediately.
“I would say within just a few seconds we ran to each of the doors in the hallway, to open them up and get the kids up, get the dogs up and usher everybody down a back stairwell,” he said. “And we followed the troopers out to the driveway area, and we were asked multiple times if everyone was present and accounted for. They were. Troopers and Capitol Police kept us safe.” Firefighters converged on the property.
Shapiro said first responders repeatedly made sure no one was missing.
