He's traveled through the doldrums, typhoons and hurricanes
He's logged a million soggy miles with water on his brain
But Christmas is the season better suited for dry land
He'll tell some lies, meet some spies
And dance barefoot in the sand...

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

#Mainz05 ~must~ win this match against St Pauli. If they don't I think their campaign is over & they're destined for the 2. Bundesliga next season.

The Orioles are acquiring right-hander Shane Baz from the Rays, source confirmed, as @Ken_Rosenthal said. Outfield prospect Slater de Brun is part of the return for the Rays, source said, as @JeffPassan said.
Baz, 26, had a 4.87 ERA last year in Tampa

Is it me, or has Busty Olney gotten really bitter? He doesn't seem to like any moves any team makes, & he clearly despises the Orioles.
