…evangelicals were all too eager to point to that man’s material success as more than enough goodness to overlook his flaws.

By Anthea Butler

…money to build the center, it was the vision of a 900-foot-tall Jesus as a sign to Roberts that would place media scrutiny on his ministry in an uncomfortable way.

By Douglas Harrison

…ording to Culliver, and they should leave if there are any, anyway. It’s a sign of the age of cultural enlightenment that seems to be dawning in the NFL that Culliver’s remarks were swiftly and roundly rejected by both the 49ers front office and a raft of players, including the NFL’s straight-but-not-narrow ambassadors of loud-and-proud support for gay rights, the Baltimore Ravens’ Brendon Ayanbadejo and the Minnesota Vikings’ Chris Kluwe. Here’s…

What We Saw in the Eyes of Koko the Talking Gorilla (1971-2018)

By Ed Simon

…to confirm our suspicions about our common connections. Before Koko could sign, there was the monkey princess Babiole in Madame d’Aulnoy’s 17th century fairytale of the same name; before Washoe the chimp taught her baby the sign language that had been taught to her, there was the ape-mother Kala raising her human baby in Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan; before the adorably named Nim Chimpsky, wearing overalls and doing the dishes at Columbia Univer…
