Here are some ocean conservation technologies that I’m excited about β€œIs there any technology the left is excited about?” This question was asked on social media this week by a supporter of AI who was frustrated by criticisms of that technology. It&#8217…

"Are there any technologies the left is excited about?"

This seemed like an old-school prompt for blogging (complimentary,) so I blogged about some ocean conservation technology that I'm excited about.

In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order:

opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun

We’re steeped in the pattern from birth, and apply it effortlessly.

If you're concerned that your/someone else's email address in the review system isn't correct, reach out to the journal admin. it's easy to accidentally end up with 3+ accounts, making it hard for others to find you! It's a quick fix on my end and I (not so) secretly love merging duplicate accounts

I feel like repeating something I said about a year ago: there are a lot of good people, trying to do their jobs and protect the institutions and people they're responsible for, dealing with situations and pressures very, very few of us have ever seen before. Try to give them some grace.

This is coming from a place of love and support, but…

It’s β€˜shoo-in,’ not β€˜shoe-in.’

It’s β€˜case in point,’ not β€˜case and point.’

It’s β€˜moot point,’ not β€˜mute point.’

It’s β€˜hunger pangs,’ not β€˜hunger pains.’

It’s β€˜jibe with,' not 'jive with.'
