...You’re an atheist? Give me a fucking break.” That’s not exactly the kind of language you ever expect a mother to use, especially when talking to her own son. Yet, at the beginning of “Pissed Catholic Mother,” an alarming video posted on YouTube earlier this month, the mother says those exact words to her son—who looks to be about 13—after he tells her that he’s an atheist. As the video progresses, the mother ignores her son?...
...Blue Angels, the Navy's flashy flight-exhibition team, have thrilled spectators since 1946. Their high-speed, tight-formation flying routines, however, can exact a dear price. Some two dozen Blue Angel pilots have died in air shows or training accidents. The latest casualty is Lieut.

The biggest thing is that we need dance space. We also practiced in renovated squash courts; we couldn’t find...
...HAVE A REPUTATION FOR BEING FASTIDIOUS. WHAT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS DETAIL YOU'VE OBSESSED OVER? There are definitely some things I did at Pastis that I now look back on and shudder. For instance, staining the ceiling again and again until it had the exact mustard color it might have had if people had been smoking in the place for 50 years. That now seems ridiculous. And it looks a bit theatrical, which I can't bear. The deliberately faded sign outside Pastis irritates me to no end. I could...
