"New research. . . has found that 1 in 7 young adults in committed relationships — “seriously dating, engaged, or married” — regularly interact with romantic artificial intelligence companions." @freyaindiaa@wapo@FamStudies@BYUWheatley
@ryanburge Was there a time, maybe 10-20 years ago, when there wasn’t huge support for women preaching? I’m wondering if there was an inflection point, a time in which support dramatically increased. Thanks.
@LisaBritton I clicked on the link for this article, but it seems to just be a paragraph. Not a paywall. Nothing happens when I click “continue” https://t.co/txXyxNxibV
@SamRainer As a greater percentage of Christians attend larger churches, and as a greater percentage of people live in cities, it follows that fewer small churches (which I suspect tend to be more rural) will survive.
"From 2010 to 2024, happiness among married young adults fell from 94% to 90%, compared to a decline from 82% to 68% among unmarried young adults" https://t.co/txXyxNxibV Hey @BradWilcoxIFS - If click on "continues", it says article is blocked. Tried on 2 browsers. Same error.
"A coalition led by UC Berkeley math professors argues that abandoning the admissions test requirement has created “preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics” while also trying to teach college-level math." https://t.co/N46yLD7Izy
It is depressing that Texas voters have to choose between a grifting adulterer dirtbag and an extreme far left lunatic with heretical and unacceptable cultural, theological, and political positions. Neither are acceptable candidates. Neither are conservative. Neither are moderate. Neither are fit for office. Any attempt to criticize one by defending the other is intellectually and morally deficient. BOTH candidates are unworthy of one’s support. It is not just that I CAN hold both positions at once (Paxton is personally unfit; Talarico is positionally unfit) - it is that I MUST hold both positions at once.
Young adult happiness is falling, yet it’s being driven by the unmarried. Married 22-35 year olds are as happy as ever.
So why does the media keep saying that single women are the happiest out there? Who wants us all single, and why?
Since people seem to be commenting on Tim Keller's legacy (or at least they were and I'm late to the party), some thoughts:
-Tim Keller made an intellectually reasoned case for Christianity when I desperately needed to know that one existed.
-Tim Keller caused me to think deeply about the core significance of the atonement.
- Tim Keller challenged me to identify idols in my life that might not look like idols.
-Tim Keller highlighted the difference between gifting and qualification in ministry, which was pivotal in my thinking.
-Progressives hated Tim Keller. (A compliment)
-Tim Keller said some confusing, unhelpful, and sometimes downright inexcusable things about race, politics, and abortion.
-Tim Keller was soft on evolution, and soft on Side B ideology (although it would be difficult for someone to make the case that he was squarely Side B).
-I am grateful for how God used the ministry of Tim Keller in my life.
-I am sad about some things he taught and believed.
-I will meet him one day in glory.
Lastly, as important as earning after graduation is, education is about moral formation, not the mere transfer of information and job training (though that matters too).
CT's right to critique this regulation. Is a Christian U only supposed to produce high wage earners? Isn't the better question to ask: Are the students paying off their loans? It's their freedom to have chosen a lower wage line of work. (@megbasham)

What matters is that the students make an informed decision when the begin their studies, and that they take future earning prospects into consideration when deciding how much to borrow.
