Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:29 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Jonathan Majors’ former girlfriend told a Manhattan jury that the actor was prone to fits of rage that escalated in the months leading up to his arrest for allegedly attacking her in the backseat of a car last spring.During hours of tearful testimony on Tuesday, Grace Jabbari described Majors as a controlling, manipulative partner who hurled household objects at the wall, tried to control her socially, and repeatedly threatened to take his own life in the aftermath of their fights.“It felt like I was walking around on eggshells,” said Jabbari, a 30-year-old professional dancer from the United Kingdom. “I had to be perfect.”Majors avoided eye contact with Jabbari during the morning testimony, scribbling notes to his lawyer or thumbing through his gold-leafed bible as she recounted his struggle to contain his “violent temper.” The testimony came on the second day of the trial against Majors, a rising Hollywood film actor whose portrayal of the comic book supervillain “...

Kingston and the Islands MPP Ted Hsu saw his bid to lead the Ontario Liberal Party in the next election come to an end last Saturday, with Bonnie Crombie being selected as the leader of the provincial party.

Festive Flakes Tomorrow Morning

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 11:21:29 GMT

Today it felt like winter and tomorrow it will look like winter (for some of us). Temperatures this morning actually weren’t too bad, waking up in the 30s. The problem was a lot of clouds today and a north wind that pumped in colder air all afternoon, our temperatures made zero progress from this morning.The north wind was a result of two areas of low pressure offshore from us. The one to the east had more of an influence on our weather today. It caused our north winds and the cold wind over the warmer ocean waters caused enough instability to create a few rain and snow showers over the Cape. Because of the northerly direction, the Cape is the only area that had water to its north and thus the only spot that dealt with the spotty showers.Tomorrow morning the second area of low pressure will control our wind and that will cause them to take a slightly more easterly direction. That more easterly direction will expose the entire coastline of Massachusetts to the onshore wind, whi...
