A quick thread on the death of yet another version of an oversight bill looking to halt the Cadiz water project, which failed to advance out of committee yesterday. 1/7
The oversight bill had drawn strong support from environmentalist groups, and Dianne Feinstein has been an opponent of the project for quite some time. 2/7
There are some similar echoes in Cadiz, Inc's approach from 2017, where they also successfully killed an oversight bill in committee. 3/7

In 2017, Cadiz laid the groundwork to stop any oversight bill, contributing $5,000 to the then-Senate pro Tempore's 2018 committee. 4/6

Probably not without coincidence that Cadiz cut a check to the current Senate pro Tempore's re-election committee months ago. 5/7

Once the then-Senate appropriations chair Ricardo Lara had successfully killed the oversight bill for the 2017 session, Cadiz and its executives expressed their gratitude several months later with a series of checks for his 2018 cmte for Insurance Commissioner. 6/7
It remains to be seen if Lara's efforts to kill the 2017 oversight bill become a campaign issue in the upcoming race for Insurance Commissioner. 7/x

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…
A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)

Pesticides, additifs... Qu'est-ce que le danger, qu'est ce que le risque ? #thread
Dans une note intéressante sur les additifs alimentaire l'Académie d'agriculture distingue les 2:
1- Le danger est, en toxicologie alimentaire, la propriété d’une molécule d’avoir un effet toxique
2- Danger n’est pas synonyme de risque. Le risque est, en toxicologie alimentaire, la probabilité d’être exposé au danger via la consommation d’un aliment qui contient une molécule dangereuse à une dose toxique compte tenu de l’exposition.
3- comparaison éclairante : le danger pour un avion c’est de tomber. Or tous
les avions peuvent tomber. Le risque, c’est la probabilité d’être dans un avion qui tombe.

THREAD: Thank again to @SP_European for inviting us to give evidence.

This is a collation of some further thoughts on the evidence heard by the committee yesterday.
2/The point was made by Tim Hopkins that as the definition of women in the Gender Representation on Public Boards act used self ID, this should apply to further law, incl census.
3/ We would argue that a bad & potentially problematic law should rather be repealed than used as a basis for future legislation. We are keen to help @scotgov make good law which will not be open to challenge in the courts at a later date.

Men Are Scum - Story #Thread
Battery full! I unplugged my phone then sat on the edge of the bed as I scrolled through notifications from different social media platforms, some needed to be replied immediately but no, I just wasn't in the mood to reply them yet. I was still going through the notifications
then saw a tweet from one of my feminist idols, the tweet read thus:

"I'm about to do a thread, another experience...*sighs* men are just scum"
I wasted no time diving into her twitter timeline, I followed the thread with rapt attention and retweeted, it was indeed a

A story of how changing times and preferences lead to the decline of a local business - #thread

Story by @TheQuint
The oldest memory I have of using fountain pens goes back to std. 5 in school. Till std. 4, we were made to use pencils and I absolutely hated using them because you needed to press hard on the paper for the writing to be fairly dark and legible.
So imagine my joy when we were finally allowed to use pens in school! My mother had bought me and my cousin some beautiful fountain pens on her trip to Mumbai in the summer vacations.
