Looks like @oasis PR guy, Ray McCarville, went rogue (by accident?) with official fb account… maybe he meant to post it on his own wall.

Reason #253 why she’ll never be as good or revered as CC.
Terrible look from Angel Reese, who started stomping her feet and quit on a play in the WNBA Finals because her teammates wouldn't pass her the ball.
She literally just walked away mid-possession rather than get in position for an offensive rebound.

DEXTER RESURRECTION S2 OFFICIALLY PREMIERES OCTOBER 30th!! #DexterResurrection
for people who pre-bought 2+ years of @XBOXGamePass, how can you go and put cloud gaming limits in after the fact on them? How about switching it to “on renewal”? Not cool, @asha_shar @XBOX

When Dolly Parton approached Robert Plant for permission to record her version of “Stairway to Heaven,” she reportedly worried about how he would react. Instead, Plant’s response was wonderfully simple: “Of course you can, you’re Dolly Parton.”
And somehow, that feels like the perfect answer. Dolly didn’t try to copy Led Zeppelin — she took one of rock’s most iconic songs and made it unmistakably her own, adding a touch of country, gospel, and her unmistakable voice.
Sometimes, a legend recognizing another legend is all the permission you need.

This is a really awesome find. It also helps explain this absolutely insane stat.
From 2001-19, the Patriots made 9.4% more of their field goals than their opponents.
No other team in the NFL in that span was even at +4.0%
Much has been made of the Patriots’ mysterious “Pink Stripes.” How about yellow ones?
I went through more than a decade of TV broadcasts and uncovered a diabolically clever piece of Patriots gamesmanship.
When opposing kickers lined up at Gillette Stadium, the video board displayed a reverse view of the kick, placing a second, offset set of yellow uprights directly behind the real ones.
In windy conditions, even the orange streamers on the video board appeared to point in the opposite direction from those atop the physical uprights, making the illusion even more disorienting.
I found dozens of examples. In the same games, I reviewed 52 Patriots field goal attempts.
The illusion appeared on Patriots kicks exactly zero times.
We actually tried copying the idea when I was in Philadelphia, but the location of the video boards at Lincoln Financial Field made it nearly useless.
It is the perfect encapsulation of the Patriots dynasty. No detail was too small, and no possible edge was left unexplored.
We talked about this tactic and more on tonight’s episode of the Paganetti and Underhill show, out now on Youtube
This is next level…

I was there, such an awesome game to be at!
22 years ago today: July 24, 2004, Jason Varitek stuffed his glove in A‑Rod’s face at Fenway on national TV. The Sox then stormed back with 3 in the 9th off Mariano, capped by Bill Mueller’s 2‑run walk‑off. An 11–10, four‑hour chaos classic that flipped the whole season.

This is so cringe. LOC has never been a useful software engineering metric. It's actually one of the most toxic ones. It rewards the worst practices. As has always been the case... quality > quantity.
