it really is generally safer to assume a male christian singer-songwriter is closeted gay than otherwise. it really is fundamentally lyrically androphilic despite the surrounding style. it really is mostly love songs about falling to your knees and pleasing jesus if you know what i mean wink wink

Reflections on Tech, Faith, and Justice
This week, I'm talking about yet another Christian-famous person falling from grace. Plus a sad court case, and a few other bits.

Reflections on Tech, Faith, and Justice – Bob Mueller
DIY wins, tech fixes, Disney stars in space, faith deconstruction, and justice in CCM—this week had it all.

I lived in this town, Ian Paisley's home town and DUP core territory, for 3 years as a teenager. Not been back.
It was characterised by narrow-mindedness and bigotry then in the 60s.

100,000 Crab giant pulses at 215 MHz detected with an SKA-Low prototype station
We report detection and analysis of the largest low-frequency (200 - 231.25 MHz) sample of Crab giant pulses (GPs) reported in the literature. In total about 95000 GPs were detected. The observations were performed in 2024/2025 with the EDA2, a prototype station of the SKA-Low telescope. The fluence distribution of GPs in the entire sample is very well characterised with a single power law (no flattening at higher fluences) N(F) $\propto$ F$^α$, where $α= -3.17\pm0.02$ for all GPs, and $α_{M…

Statement by YDS Dean Greg Sterling.
-----
We are relieved that two members of the YDS community, Rev. William Barber and Rev. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, are safe and unharmed following their arrest while praying in the Capitol Rotunda yesterday. We applaud them for their courage in standing up for Christian values and doing so in accordance with the venerable tradition of nonviolent action.

Rev. William Barber arrested in Capitol Rotunda after praying against Republican-led budget
(RNS) — While arrests of protesters at the Capitol is not unusual, the response to Barber’s prayer was unusually dramatic: After issuing verbal warnings, dozens of officers expelled everyone in the Rotunda — including credentialed press.

Intrinsic defects explain n-type conductivity in CrSBr
Understanding and controlling native defects is essential for unlocking the full potential of two-dimensional magnetic semiconductors. Here, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and first-principles calculations are used to explore the electronic properties of bulk CrSBr. ARPES measurements reveal clear signatures of conduction band filling in as-grown crystals, indicative of unintentional doping. An analysis of intrinsic defects based on density functional theory (DFT) identifies …
