@ErikDavis people need to be educated that he makes exciting movies? — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @ek_johnston's Queen's Hope for making me picture the Naboo royal droid pool manager seeing R2-D2 on the HoloNet and thinking, "Hey, is that...?" I also love the idea of Anakin and Padme each using their droid to keep the other safe. https://t.co/VtCuJDAvD7 — PolitiTweet.org

@ErikDavis The ride and the land are great but I don't think that's because there are people who are super invested in the lore of Avatar and want to see more of the story. I think it's just good land and ride design. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattGertz Matt if you're asking me to go see this movie with you, the answer is yes as long as you pay for popcorn — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

@MattGertz True, but unlike Transformers or F&F, I don't see a lot of people saying they enjoy watching Avatar (separate from whether they think it's a Good Movie). — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

@MattGertz 1) I haven't seen Avatar in a while but I have a hard time believing that! 2) Is that even possible? Avatar was a HUGE advance in CGI. I don't know if you can jump that far ahead again. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

@MattGertz Except it didn't make money because it was some great story with compelling characters that people were desperate to see more of! — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

It will never stop being funny to me they're making more of these movies, which were only notable for their then-advanced CGI and were utterly forgettable in terms of story and characters. — PolitiTweet.org

Hope the app actually works this time! The panel reservation system was essentially inoperable for most of Celebration Chicago. (Doesn't seem like a hard thing to get right in this day and age, and yet!) — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome folks' commentary about the agency stats in the 2022 doc. I'd love to hear guesses about which rows correspond to which agencies! — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

The 2021 doc has a helpful summary table. The 2022 doc does not, so I had to calculate the numbers and percentages myself. Here's the 2021 summary, for comparison with the numbers I tweeted above. ("CFO" refers to the 24 major depts/agencies defined in the CFO Act of 1990.) https://t.co/kSZVP0QzdY — PolitiTweet.org

The two spreadsheets break down the different forms of MFA. Strongest form is a PIV card (column 2.3 in 2022 doc; "MFA Mandatory PIV (6.3)" in 2021 doc). There's also impersonation-resistant MFA (WebAuthn) and less-secure MFA (SMS, push notifs) (cols 2.4 & 2.5; "Other MFA"). — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Here's the spreadsheet with agency data for Q1 2022: https://t.co/FvbpRVQAwt I also obtained a spreadsheet for Q4 2021: https://t.co/SnVNiZ2t2n — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Encrypting data & requiring MFA are two of the most basic protections you can apply to an IT system, and the Biden admin said it would lean hard on agencies to overcome the barriers that have held back these efforts through multiple admins. These #s show those barriers remain. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

Biden WH recognizes these #s aren't ideal but says the EO has accelerated improvements. "Full adoption was always an ambitious target, intentionally so," Federal CISO Chris DeRusha said, but "the progress we saw in the first months [post-EO] would have taken years in the past." — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

These numbers come from a 2022 Q1 spreadsheet that compiles reports to WH & CISA. Agency names are redacted. Individual agency performance varies, but there are some 👀 numbers. For example, one agency w/ 505 systems only required MFA (and a weak form at that) on 2% of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Eric Geller @ericgeller

SCOOP: Nearly a year after Biden's cyber EO mandated encryption & MFA for all fed systems, data I obtained through FOIA show agencies still struggling. * 64% of systems govt-wide encrypt data at rest, 65% in transit * 58% require MFA (41% through PIV) https://t.co/9HQjUfv31X — PolitiTweet.org
