@dceiver @Grace_Segers is it true he uses the Force and it's super intimidating? — PolitiTweet.org

Also, this episode featured a shot of a wall with writing on it, so you know they canonized a bunch of Expanded Universe characters who give new meaning to the term Glup Shitto. https://t.co/pPbSpV4eYK https://t.co/Pt6Ide5nzW — PolitiTweet.org

On that note, the r/prequelmemes running gag of perpetually wanting to see Anakin actually do the deed has seemed a little bit ... tacky of late. https://t.co/91l9FVB5wo https://t.co/bHbEKalOuq — PolitiTweet.org

I don't think Star Wars has ever done a content warning before, but given the moment we're in, they definitely had to do it for the Order 66 youngling slaughter. Reva surviving by playing dead...woof. Sadly it's been 10+ yrs since you could do that without it seeming too real. — PolitiTweet.org

I did think it was dumb that Vader failed to realize that the escapees were, to quote Rey, "on another transport." Speaking of dumb: BAIL! What are you doing, my man?! Opsec!! Come on! Clearly had to happen to advance the story, but seemed wildly out of character to me. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
This show continues to portray Vader better than almost any other story. He already knows your plan, he can defeat you just as effortlessly with the Force as he can with a lightsaber, and he'll taunt you with a reminder of your failure right before he kills(?) you. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Even though the Reva twist didn't make sense to me, I loved her conversation with Obi-Wan. "Where were you while he was killing my friends?" He has a good answer, but man, that's just a brutal reminder of how he failed on a much deeper level. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Also loved: * Obi-Wan stepping up to lead on Jabiim * Obi-Wan trusting Leia to take risks Glad the Grand Inquisitor survived, although "hate keeps you alive" is starting to feel pretty dang lazy. (But I suppose if we can accept Maul...) — PolitiTweet.org

My #obiwankenobi ep 5 thoughts: Reva doing her whole thing just to get close to Vader so she can kill him — not really feeling it. But the Obi-Wan and Anakin flashbacks, and how they resonated with the present-day story — really wonderful. Seeing them again like that...chills! — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisKempshall I've wanted to see a book like this for a long time. I got to write a bit about the subject for the official site back in the day: https://t.co/evgqc8kHCp — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisKempshall really looking forward to this book! — PolitiTweet.org

There's a path forward if all of these efforts (IIJA funding, CISA services, EPA regulations) shake out well. But that's TBD. “Water utilities need help from policymakers,” Claroty's Geyer told me, “but the key is meeting them where they are on that journey.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
CISA's Eric Goldstein said his agency’s regional advisers are “continuously updating and refining” their services and advice to provide “the necessary level of rigor and detail” for companies “at differing levels of maturity.” — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
CISA offers free cyber services to industries like water, but few utilities are requesting them, according to @WestYost's Andrew Ohrt. CISA's advice can also be hard for utilities to understand and implement, Morley and Hartman said. Morley cited a "level of implied knowledge." — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
There are also concerns that the EPA doesn't have the staff or the expertise to regulate cybersecurity. I heard similar concerns about the TSA with pipelines. TSA's initial rules sparked backlash, and agency had to revise them. TSA also had to surge hiring of cyber staff. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Water utilities and their trade associations are also concerned about future EPA regulations. They want them to be flexible (govt sets goals, industry decides how to implement), nuanced (b/c utility size and cyber literacy vary widely), and accompanied by major funding. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Federal efforts to help the water sector have been limited and sporadic. WH & EPA won't say what resulted from the admin's 100-day cyber sprint that launched in January to encourage use of monitoring sensors. Congress hasn't funded >$375m in water resiliency programs in IIJA. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
The sheer size of the water industry (far more dispersed and disconnected than electricity or most other infrastructure sectors) also poses a problem. There will always be many local water systems ripe for cyberattacks that can cause nationwide panic. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Spencer Hartman, water supervisor in Pinedale, WY, said his small community has a local contractor with ICS cyber expertise who can be on-site on short notice. But he said many others aren't that lucky, so they struggle to understand cybersecurity and maintain their systems. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Edgar Miller, IT director for Gulf Breeze, FL, said his counterparts in FL typically employ 5-30 people to protect water systems and other public utilities. He has one intern and occasional contractor support. He said fixing problems is “like playing whack-a-mole." — PolitiTweet.org

That survey also included lots of other concerning data that I couldn't fit into my story. 31% of utilities have ID'd all OT assets. (38% for IT assets.) 42% offer no cyber training/awareness program to staff. 68% don't participate in cyber exercises, drills, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
73% of water systems employ between 0 and 2 people focused on ICS cybersecurity, according to a 2021 industry survey. Similar number (71%) for IT cybersecurity. https://t.co/6GfgLEc3td — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Water utilities — especially but not only small, rural ones — also struggle to hire people w/ expertise in ICS cybersecurity. Not all of those highly specialized folks want to work in often-gritty OT environments. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
If a water operator has to choose between paying extra for the same amount of chlorine to treat their water or paying that sum for planned cyber upgrades, that's a no-brainer for them. Kilpatrick mentioned a utility whose tech budget was cut due to increased costs elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org
Eric Geller @ericgeller
Inflation and supply chain issues have exacerbated these problems. Non-cyber costs have gone up, eating into cyber $. @awwa's Kevin Morley mentioned a “fairly large utility in the South” that had to spend an extra $1 million on chemicals alone in the past year. — PolitiTweet.org
