Repeat tweets from September, 2017:

• Sep 1 2017: "San Francisco hits 104°, breaking the city's all-time heat record, NWS says."
  Just throwing this out there, but maybe we ought to again consider the possibility that burning fossil fuels is changing the climate.
• Sep 1 2017: RT @WalkableDFW: "car dependence makes our regional economy incredibly fragile."
  So does corn, the power grid, and our supply chains for just about everything. We are one disaster away from, well, disaster.
• Sep 1 2017: RT @WalkableDFW: "which is why localized food and power production is mission critical."
  Choices. Localized food brings its own costs. 200 years of reducing cost thru comparative advantage and the globe is in precarious balance.

• Sep 3 2017: How long has it been since Julian Assange was considered "a member of the left"? For that matter, same question about Vladimir Putin.

• Sep 7 2017: "Hypothesis: The US has not in fact become less religious over the 2 decades; the irreligious have become less hesitant about saying so."
  My hypothesis: The US has not become more gay... The US has not become more racist... etc. All for same reason...less hesitant to speak up.
• Sep 7 2017: Maybe if we lie to him and say Starbucks' Pumpkin Cheesecake Frappuccino was Obama's idea, Trump would try to repeal it.
• Sep 8 2017: Ingrid Goes West (2017): Expected a comedy. Got a portrait of a sad stalker who wants a friend. Needs some Aubrey Plaza quirkiness. C+

• Sep 11 2017: The scientific consensus on global warming has reached 99.94%. We are down to Floyd and Larry. Convinced yet?

• Sep 13 2017: Handsome (2017): Comedy detective tale. Quirky, maybe a little. Funny, not really. Mystery, not that either. Really nothing here. C-
• Sep 13 2017: "Progress on the Dallas subway."
  This suburban resident welcomes Dallas's progress. Though why I should make common cause with Dallas eludes me. The favor's not returned.
• Sep 14 2017: I Am Not Your Negro (2016): James Baldwin tells story of America through the lives of Medgar, Malcolm and Martin. Unresolved still today. A-

  Go for the Steichen definitely. Stay for the Kusama if you have disposable income ($1280/hour).

  Erdogan: Trump apologized to me over brawl between Turkish bodyguards and protestors.

• Sep 21 2017: "I'd like to see an Ike-like figure run in 2020 to rescue American politics from extremists on left and right."
  Ike was the last GOP president who left America better off when he left office, but I think I'd still have voted for Adlai Stevenson.
• Sep 21 2017: Sen Cornyn on if there is enough regular order w Graham-Cassidy to get McCain to yes: "I think so, we're doing everything we know how to do."
  Our TX Senator. No committee hearings, no CBO score, no debate in full Senate. I have never heard such lying and I lived through Nixon.

  Build the Dome...and make Venus pay for it.

  Others can never trust patriotism expressed, not voluntarily, but under threat of losing one's livelihood. #Sad #TakeTheKnee #1A
• Sep 25 2017: "Robert E. Lee statue belongs in new Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum."
  Museum doesn't want it. WTF? My respect for museum plummets.

  And, oh yeah, he's a racist.
• Sep 26 2017: Tanna (2015): Tribal conflict on South Pacific island. Arranged marriage vs forbidden love. Universal tale based on true story. Lovely. A-
• Sep 26 2017: I just got a fund-raising appeal from Trump. Not a word about health care, nuclear war, climate change or disaster in Puerto Rico. Sad!
• Sep 26 2017: "Trump goes to all-time low AT TIME OF LARGEST REFUGEE CRISIS SINCE HITLER."
  This generation prepares to repeat the shameful mistakes of the past. Remember the voyage of the St. Louis. ushmm.org
• Sep 26 2017: It occurs to me how we can stop the displays of disrespect toward our flag and anthem. Just tackle racism. Win-win. What's not to like?
• Sep 26 2017: I haven't watched any NFL games this season. Now I fear I have to start watching or else the racists will think I'm with them. Sigh.
• Sep 26 2017: "Sen. Bob Corker, Tennessee Republican, won't seek re-election next year."
  Sigh. Think how different the US could have been with a Senator Harold Ford, Jr.
• Sep 26 2017: Why expect the Obamacare repeal effort to die? The Medicare and Medicaid repeal efforts never die. Repealers can attack again and again, year after year. Defenders have to be forever on guard.
• Sep 26 2017: Re: Roy Moore in Alabama. More and more, it's like George Wallace won in 1968. Or Joe McCarthy in 1952. Or the Know Nothings in 1856. God help us.

• Sep 26 2017: "National GOP throws itself behind man who called 9/11 divine punishmt, sought to ban gay sex & to block Muslim congressman from being sitted."
  Party over country.
• Sep 27 2017: "Time to consider this proposition: GOP base voters are a danger to the nation. They are electing erratic extremists."
  Deplorable.
• Sep 27 2017: "Nothing like crossing the curriculum with the Flower Duet in the MMB marching show!"
  High school football games in the RISD are worth the price of admission just for the marching band halftime show. And you get a game too!

• Sep 27 2017: "State officials may realize that things like good schools and good transit matter in the long run."
  One can hope.

• Sep 28 2017: Hologram for the King (2016): US IT salesman has midlife crisis in Saudi Arabia. Starts exotic, ends preposterous. No reason to care. C+
• Sep 28 2017: I'm old enough to remember when Republicans pretended to care about deficits.
• Sep 28 2017: Trump in fundraising email (how I got on his list I'll never know), says, "In the first 9 months alone, we've delivered on our promises." No word on what he's delivered. Health care? Tax cuts for rich? Wall? Maybe NFL taunts, but that wasn't a promise, was it?
• Sep 28 2017: "Toddler shoots 3-year-olds at unlicensed daycare run out of Michigan home."
  It goes without saying the gun was unlicensed too.
• Sep 29 2017: "Many reasons Sen Budget Res is bad. But, here's one hidden nugget that undermines accountability and transparency. CBO = no longer required."
  I am old enough to remember when Republicans pretended to care about accountability, transparency and budget deficits.
• Sep 29 2017: "Trump said that the U.S. GDP hasn't grown 3.1% in a 'very, very long time.' It grew 3.2% in Q1 of 2015."
  To be fair, for a three year old, two years is a very, very long time.
• Sep 29 2017: "Health Secy Tom Price resigns amid private jet controversy."
  Is Tom Price going to pay the taxpayers back the money he owes them? Or did he decide keeping the money is worth more than keeping the job?
• Sep 29 2017: Flynn, Spicer, Scaramuchi, Bannon, Price, ... Who knew when Trump promised to drain the swamp he was referring to so many of his own people?
• Sep 29 2017: The Texas State Fair opens today...I knew there was a reason for the rain.
• Sep 29 2017: Trump's fundraising email asks me to help "combat the flood of fake news and obstructionist attacks from the Left." Why me? Trump is asking the wrong person. I support investigative reporting into Trump's Washington swamp and obstructing his racism.
• Sep 30 2017: The hateful and hurtful images that circulated in the RISD demonstrate the need for social and emotional learning in schools. Don't let up.
• Sep 30 2017: Trump starts a war on NFL. His base calls for a boycott. But now Rush Limbaugh makes an abrupt U-turn. Limbaugh says it's the *Left* that hates the NFL. Because Left is against manhood. Boycott must not have been working.
