Couple things. First, credit card benefits are really different in the US than the UK/EU (OP is German), so that’s playing a role here. Second, people in the US who only use debit cards often seem to not fully grasp their range of benefits beyond just rewards 1/

I don’t understand what’s the benefit of credit cards. Those points and rewards people talk about ? You only get that with the credit cards you have to pay an insanely high monthly fee for and the rewards really don’t make up for it. My debit card costs nothing.

But more than that, even a credit card with NO rewards offers US customers a huge benefit people sometimes miss: if fraudulent charges are made on it then that’s not YOUR money being stolen (like with a debit card), it’s the bank’s. There’s a valuable layer of protection there 3/

Now, this doesn’t really matter to UK/EU customers because their debit cards are a lot more secure and featured than US ones, so then things just come back to the fact that you really can just get free money from credit cards in the US if you’re responsible with them 4/4

Not sure if it’ll be in the 2026 issue, but look for this new piece from me on disability theology and the atonement in @JournalofAT in due course

Really bizarre situation over at @VanderbiltU, especially given that last academic year the divinity school reported an over $250 million endowment. Was discussing this with colleagues last week and glad to see @RNS reporting on it religionnews.com/2026/10/07/…

Vanderbilt Divinity School is under receivership. No one seems to know why.

(RNS) — One of the most prominent centers of theological education in the country, Vanderbilt Divinity School has been known for its social justice advocacy. Now students, faculty and alumni wonder...

Willing to bet this is the core issue: cowardly university leadership bending the knee to an anti-Christ regime. The Gospel is not “neutral when it comes to politics and social issues.” Neither is the Son who was, who is, and who shall come again

Similar situation with European Journal for Philosophy of Religion. Used to be really strong, got turned into a rag

i feel bad for all those sociologists who published in Theory & Society before 2023 and laugh daily at those who have published there since

I feel like the Atlanta Chick-Fil-As are the only ones that don’t look like they got their staff directly out of a Mormon high school

I have terrible flight anxiety which I have to take medication for to avoid panic attacks. The medicine is good, but it’s also great to have nuns on your flight who will pray for you too 🙏

Kinda true, honestly. I footnote pretty thoroughly most of the time, and it seems to help things along for a good chunk of reviewers (based on their feedback)

Were there ever any consequences for her supervisor and examiners? They’re ultimately the ones to blame here since their whole job was to vet this research

Everyone listen to Naomi Wolf realize on live radio that the historical thesis of the book she's there to promote is based on her misunderstanding a legal term

In the spring I gave my students the opportunity to do their midterm and final as either an oral or written exam. For the midterm they were skeptical and only one did the oral exam. But once that student told the others about it, they ALL did oral exams for the final

Professors who have used oral assessments say it’s important to prepare students for them and to be clear about the benefits of the approach, beyond preventing cheating. Structuring the exams in a way that is fair and productive are also critical to making them effective. chroni.cl/4yv1F4u

A defense against AI cheating is catching on as a better way to teach.

Just got one of these where reviewer 2 said that the use of logic problems in disability theology is a “category error” This is why some people don’t take the field seriously

Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but God’s way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary

tip: if you feel unfulfilled by how you spent your time today, you can stay up late to try to combat the sense of dissatisfaction. this will ensure that you feel even worse tomorrow

As always, interesting content from @LondonLyceum. IMO, though, I dunno that Peter Williams as an individual or Tyndale House as an institution (insofar as it is one) are really examples of “elite” individuals or entities youtu.be/YCjDrnXTHPo?is=01P3…
