Cold night, then mild Friday

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:12:44 GMT

Our coldest day of the next few is coming to an end. Highs stayed in the 30s today. After another cold night, highs soar into the low 50s tomorrow. We’ll stay above average before our next storm to end the weekend and start the new week.Since temperatures didn’t get out of the 30s today, it won’t take much for temperatures to drop below freezing again inland with mainly clear skies. MetroWest and Southern New Hampshire towns will fall into the 20s. Along the coast and Cape temperatures will be in the 30s. These will be the Friday low temperatures. A warm front passes through overnight, so by the time you head out the door tomorrow temperatures will mainly be in the 30s. A change in the air mass tomorrow will bring us mild temperatures. Highs reach the upper 40s/low 50s under mostly sunshine and a slight breeze. The weather stays nice for your Friday evening plans. Highs this weekend will generally be in the upper 40s. We’ll see increasing cloud cover through the weekend ahead of our...

These LGBTQ+ families have a message for the Midwest: ‘We Live Here’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:12:44 GMT

Jason Dick | (TNS) CQ-Roll CallFor one family in Iowa, the choice between staying and going didn’t feel like a choice.“Do we stay and fight, or do we go? But where do you go where there’s stability and safety?” says Katie Chiaramonte in the new Hulu documentary “We Live Here: The Midwest.”Chiaramonte, who is married to a transgender woman, is one of several Midwesterners profiled in the film, which also visits Nebraska, Kansas, Ohio and Minnesota.Director Melinda Maerker describes a sense of hope replaced by fear, as the “joyous” marriage equality decision in Obergefell v. Hodges was quickly followed by Donald Trump’s election in 2016 and “really outward, ugly” displays of discrimination.That backlash is still growing, she says. “But the goal (of) the film was not to be in any way preachy. We wanted people to fall into these stories, and good stories are often complicated.”Maerker and co-producer David Miller joined the Political Theater podcast to talk about the “courageous” and im...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:12:44 GMT

FOXBORO — Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce should be preparing for a frustrating day at the office Sunday as he gets set to face off against a Bill Belichick-coached Patriots defense.Belichick openly acknowledged that the Patriots had a plan to “neutralize” edge defender T.J. Watt and wide receiver George Pickens in last week’s 21-18 win over the Steelers. It worked. Watt was held to just five tackles and one tackle for loss while facing off mostly against right tackle Mike Onwenu. Watt did get injured on the first play of the game but was on the field for most of the contest. After the game, he was diagnosed with a concussion but has since cleared protocol. Pickens caught just five passes on six targets for 19 yards.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots impending free agent open to re-signing this offseason New England Patriots | Patriots reportedly down two offensive starters at Thursday practice New England Patriots | 98.5’s...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:12:44 GMT

By JAKE OFFENHARTZ (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan jury will soon decide if Jonathan Majors is guilty of assaulting his girlfriend following two weeks of clashing narratives about whether the rising Hollywood star was the aggressor or victim during a chaotic struggle in the backseat of a car.The court case has centered on allegations brought by Grace Jabbari, a 30-year-old British dancer who said the “Creed III” actor struck her on the side of the head, twisted her arm behind her back, and squeezed her finger until it broke during a dispute last spring. In closing arguments that ended before lunch on Thursday, an attorney for Majors portrayed Jabbari as a compulsive liar who concocted a story of an abusive relationship as revenge after catching her boyfriend of two years texting another woman.The 34-year-old actor, who did not testify during the trial, dabbed his eyes with a tissue as his attorney, Priya Chaudhry, implored the jury to “end this ...

REVIEW: finestkind is a crime drama of the finest kind

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:12:44 GMT

Crime dramas are a genre older than the medium of film. The genre’s tropes are a good way of heightening tension, taking a situation and making the stakes much more dire very quickly. When characters we like are worried about the law, the audience worries about them. Tommy Lee Jones as Ray, Toby Wallace as Charlie, Jenna Ortega as Mabel and Ben Foster as Tom in Finestkind streaming on Paramount+, 2023. Photo Credit: Miller Mobley/Paramount+With his latest film finestkind, director Brian Helgeland (the director of Legend and A Knight’s Tale) makes a fantastic crime drama out of a setting not terribly well-represented in modern filmmaking, commercial fishing boats.

But as the two continue to work together, the times turn tough and the two find themselves hav...
