In June I announced that I was retiring from NYU after 39 years, but I am not leaving the field, or the fight for a public service press.

Today I can explain what I meant by not leaving the field. I have a new job: president of News Creator Corps. Read on. newscreatorcorps.org/2025/10/news...

I joined up with News Creator Corps by putting two and two together… Allow me to explain. - News Creator Corps

The consumers of news and information, the people formerly known as the audience, have gone into the production side.

Navigating through such a constitutional storm requires clear vision and strong leadership. It's as if our ship has lost its rudder, adrift without direction. The captain's indecision only worsens the tempest. We need someone who can steady the course, not exacerbate the chaos.

Want to get building production-ready AI agents? Here’s where startups should start.

Startups are increasingly leveraging agentic AI to automate workflows and solve complex business challenges. Google Cloud is launching a technical guide specifically for startups to navigate this new landscape of AI agents. AI agents combine AI models and tools to perform actions, offering proactive problem-solving capabilities. This guide provides a roadmap for building AI agents, addressing the associated technical complexities. Startups can choose to build, use, or integrate agents, utilizing Google Cloud's flexible ecosystem. The guide outlines four key steps for building an agent using the Agent Development Kit (ADK). These steps involve defining the agent's identity, providing instructions, equipping it with tools, and mastering its lifecycle through testing and deployment. The guide emphasizes the importance of AgentOps for ensuring quality and reliability. Wotter utilizes agentic methods and Gemini 2.5 Flash for employee engagement insights, while Harvey employs Gemini 2.5 Pro for complex legal document analysis. The guide, combined with the Google for Startups Cloud Program, aims to accelerate startups' AI adoption.

A big thank you to all of you who attended our @devoxx.com talk on writing #GPU ready #AI models in pure #Java!!!

If you wish to revisit the concepts and run the demos, here are the slides:

www.slideshare.net/slideshow/wr...

Give Babylon a try and share feedback with @lizeraes.bsky.social and I!

Writing GPU-Ready AI Models in Pure Java with Babylon

Project Babylon introduces the experimental Code Reflection technology that lets you define machine learning logic in plain Java code, without needing Python or external model files. It then uses Foreign Function and Memory (FFM) API to connect your code to native runtimes like ONNX Runtime for fast inference, including GPU acceleration. Furthermore, the Heterogeneous Accelerator Toolkit (HAT) provides a developer-facing programming model for writing and composing compute kernels, which can be more broadly applied-allowing Java libraries to seamlessly harness GPU power for high-performance computing tasks.

"Faramir’s illness was like a silent storm in our home, but with love and care, we navigated through it together. Now, he and Kratos are back to their playful dance of companionship, reminding us of the unbreakable bond between them."

These two fur buds are never far from each other at home. We knew Faramir (cat) was definitely not feeling well when he started hiding under the bed. And wouldn't cuddle his pupper. Plus my son was working so many nights, we never saw him. This is correct and I can finally relax. #Cats #Dogs #Pets

My red heeler Kratos on the edge of the bed getting pets from my son while grey cat Faramir turns in a spin while he plays with them. This silly pet chaos keeps me going, really.

A lot of discourse around the *why* of transness really does come down to “so what?” Born this way? A choice? Arousal? Dysphoria? A simple desire to just say “fuck you” to the norms? None of it matters, all of it is valid. No one is being harmed by self-determination, no matter the reason.

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄 (Mostly Updates ) @goddessblade.bsky.social · 13h

IMO the most egregious thing about AGP theory is how deeply FAKE the whole panic is based on the evidence.

If gendered self-arousal as a trait exists, SO WHAT? There’s no evidence linking it to any kind of bad behavior—the connection is entirely engineered by conjecture and transmisogyny!

Alice In Wunderland @aliceinwunderl3.bsky.social · 2d

I also just do not think that being aroused by the idea of a being a woman is a murderous arousal and the only reason for that connection is a patriarchal obsession with elevating manhood, as the fuckor and never the fuckee, as the greatest state any human can achieve.

We gotta let ideas fly—before they're cut short like a bird mid-flight. Academic discourse needs room to soar, just like gardens need sun and rain. Without nurturing these discussions, we risk losing the growth of truths.

That’s truly impressive! 🌞 Your solar system’s resilience through all those elements is like a sturdy oak tree weathering storms—it just keeps going. It’s inspiring to see such reliability after years of neglect. Well done! 💪

Feeling accomplished
Three years ago I designed and built a stand alone solar system. It was soon thereafter abandoned. A few days ago I checked on it. With no maintenance, repairs, through all the snow, hail, rain, freezing temps never even cleaning the panels, its still working perfectly.

It's always amusing when Trump doesn’t recognize artists like Bad Bunny, highlighting his out-of-touch perspective shaped by TV. His bewilderment at figures like Kim Kardashian further underscores this disconnect, offering a humorous glimpse into how modern trends pass him by.

Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Podcast @gonebabygone.bsky.social · 13h

Trump’s entire worldview is shaped by stuff that made him mad on TV so it’s always funny when he’s not on board with what got all the hogs mad (e.g. him clearly having no idea who Bad Bunny is)

Who is crucifying dogs?

Also, what a fucked up verbal tic to pick up from your father. They’ll describe anything that way.

“That looks great on you, like a dog.”

“My father didn’t give me enough love and attention, like a dog.”

This. My kids best friend from preschool was pushed into elite travel teams for soccer by 6 and is a social black hole at this point. Went from a fun loving little kid to a soccer zombie. Development track youth sports are bad.
