This phrase wasn’t just at Auschwitz, it was part of the Nazi party line about “work camps.” This is the gate at Dachau. The panel describes the saying in more detail.

Our neighbor Jerry was Richard Nixon’s first drug czar. We lived two houses away from him for years only to discover this fact several years ago at a neighborhood bonfire. At 92 he’s still a very witty and entertaining guy. Never thought I would know someone who knew Nixon personally.

I appreciate living in a community where pretty much every elected official and candidate shows up for Pride. Here are just a few. And yes, we are paying attention.

We had 6,500 in Columbia and great speeches by @vanhollen.senate.gov and @elfreth.house.gov.

I can’t help but notice on this GOP propaganda HUD homepage there is a big blue button to give feedback on the site. Y’all know what to do. #Shutdown #Resist

Life gets overwhelming these days, and I wonder how we will make it, and then the power of music comes along to resurrect us. Thank you, David Byrne.

Saw three Rock and Roll Hall of Famers at an outdoor concert yesterday and I’ve got to say, my mental state is considerably improved this morning. That’s the power of rock and roll. Can’t recommend enough.

Good night at the Yard. We couldn’t remember the last time we had seen the Os win a game in person, so I looked it up. June 11th. With three games left I was starting to worry we wouldn’t see another win this year. Great job taking care of that, Samuel!

Cars pass under a bridge with banners and people waving. Canadian and Ukrainian flags are displayed as well as many messages including “silence gives consent”, “Trump is destroying your freedom” and “18,000 children dead in Gaza. Where are you America?”

Our #HoCoMD Police Honor Guard presented the colors at tonight’s @orioles.com game. It’s hard to make out but they are also presenting the new Howard County flag!

Great concert.

This fan is proving my theory that the @orioles.com should have waited until Pride night to introduce Karaoke Cam. #Birdland

Freetown Farm was buzzing with folks this morning in spite of the rain showers. One volunteer weeder came over to share this tough mama spider cradling her egg sack with her 6 remaining arms. Plant sale is going on until 1 pm. #HoCoMD #Bloomscrolling www.communityecologyinstitute.org/freetown-far...

Tuning in late to the @orioles.com game but fortunately made it in time to see this.
Also, dogs need to come to every game.

Delighted to be out this evening with so many good folks to celebrate Jessica Nichols, Howard County’s next District 2 Council member. I don’t even want to hazard a guess how many doors have been knocked by this crew. If you live in D2, you’ll meet them!

If you grow food to eat anywhere in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., you owe yourself a visit to Sigsbee Seedlings. Lori & Jim offer more heirlooms than you can ever plant, all grown on site. Every year I drive home with a carful of seedlings and inspiration. #Heirlooms #Bloomscrolling #Vegetables

Both side hold rows of heirloom pepper seedlings. The area is partially shaded by an overhead tarp. View of a side yard of a house with a long row of heirloom greens seedlings. A whiteboard with a welcome message from Sigsbee Seedlings. The sign includes hours of sale and seedlings that are not yet ready for sale.

And this is why we shouldn’t be using AI…
#Birdland @orioles.com
Screen shot of a picture of Orioles player Cedric Mullins wearing a tricorn hat. Below the picture, Meta provides an answer to the question, “What’s the story behind the cowboy hat?” Explaining that the player, likely Adam Jones, is wearing a tricorn hat. Except AI apparently can’t tell the difference between a current Os star and one that hasn’t been on the team for years…
