By Kelly J. Baker

…ies with habits, routines, and interior lives. They still consume brains, but they might feel bad about it. The narrator and protagonist, a zombie, is healed when he falls in love with a still-human girl. In Warm Bodies, what really separates the human from the zombie is that zombies are not quite alive or fully dead. But if zombies are no longer antagonistic to humans, the dynamics have changed. It becomes harder to separate the two. Zombies are…

“Even the Rich Suffer”: An Interview with Google’s Jolly Good Fellow Chade-Meng Tan

By Max Zahn

…ice spirituality, with or without religious belief. I don’t really care about Buddhism, but I care tremendously about dharma, which is defined as universal law. I care especially about the aspects of universal law relating to suffering and liberation from suffering. They’re everywhere. I’m not trying to promote Buddhism but dharma. If I’m careful about doing this, it has the potential to unite religions. It has the potential to unite everybody els…

Mitt, the Marriotts, and Porn

By Joanna Brooks

…ernet technological and capacity innovation before the advent of the smart phone. And if we want to start a serious conversation about where presidential candidates get their money and how ethical that money is, let’s do it. I have a laundry list of labor, environmental, feminist, and human rights issues with multinational corporations I’d love to start working through. But don’t give me a thin, opportunistic connect-the-Mormon-dots story and pr…

Departure of the Queen

By Amina Wadud

…he weekend when guests and locals overflowed in the mosque, even spilling out to a tent set in the yard out front. Perhaps what I am feeling is a loss from all this company celebrating this time with the Queen. She has not yet departed after all, and we are still honored by her visit. Perhaps it is the deafening silence of being so removed from the hustle and bustle of the cities and even from my own family that makes me feel a bit melancholy. I s…

This Narrative of Death that is So Powerful Among Us

By Daniel Schultz

…me he is vindicated over and over and over again, that technology is not neutral, but that it brings an ideology with it. Dan: I’m more familiar with that from Niebuhr, who resists the “technic,” he says, and is more oriented to political science and economics, and stuff like that, but also I’ve read a lot of science fiction, when I was a kid, and they raise some of those very same issues. There was one book I was reading where people could receiv…

Why We Can’t Afford to “Wait And See” How Trump Dismantles LGBT Rights

By Sunnivie Brydum

…t crucially, talk to the white people and Trump supporters in your life about why they voted for him, and what they hope will come of his election. Then point out the evidence—that’s piling up already—suggesting they’ve been duped by a con-man who just last week admitted that he didn’t think anyone would take his pledge to “keep jobs in America” seriously. Call 1-844-USA-0234 and enter your zip code to be connected with your representatives in Was…

What’s Islamophobia, and Do I Have It?

By Haroon Moghul

…shut down (think zombie virus from The Walking Dead’s first season), the output is the same. If a Qur’anic verse seems to sanction violence, Muslims have no choice but to act on it. There is just one problem with this way of interpreting all of Islam. Only a puny minority of Muslims acts in a violent manner, while the huge majority does not, though both are reading the same book. If Muslims don’t act in similar ways, the problem isn’t the Islamop…

A Sacred Encounter with Erykah Badu’s Controversial Nude Video

By Tamura Lomax

…production said, “I was thinking about going down there and whoopin’ her…but I was on the phone with the police, too…I called the police…I was very offended. There were too many kids, women, and children down there.” While I am sure that Lewis was concerned about Badu’s nudity in front of the other “women and children,” I imagine she was equally uneasy about the implications of reproducing the violence of slavocracy in a post Civil War society. I…

…coalition, to allow a parliamentary vote without some kind of referendum. But, says Reuters, “there is a strong likelihood that the new generation will lean toward the center-left Labor Party rather than his Liberals.” Marriage equality supporters held an “epic” street party in Sydney on Sunday.

Where are the Clergy? A Report from Occupy DC

By Sarah Posner

…ues?” he asked. “Who is talking about student loan debts? Who’s talking about mortgage? We bailed out all these corporations, but I don’t see any of the social justice groups I’m working with talking about the millions of people who are out of their homes and were basically defrauded by mortgage companies?” Merritt doesn’t even like the term “social justice.” He’s inspired by liberation theology, and says that focusing on “social justice” separate…
