As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.

Can't believe I forgot the most important Arsenal birthday yesterday: The Arsenal FC. 140 years ago yesterday the members of the Dial Square Cricket Club discussed and agreed to form a football team.

Ah, 4 October! Happy fifth birthday to this marvellous thing…
Tom Hollander, A Life in the Day: I wake up generally at 3 or 4am. Not because I'm like Margaret Thatcher, but because I need to pee. I pee in the darkness using my phone screen to illuminate the target, then often take half a sleeping pill ... Sometime between 6 and 8 I wake again, turn up the Today programme gently. If my girlfriend is there we hold each other in different positions. If she isn't I wrap my arms around a pillow and continue listening to the bad news. Whoever gets up first will go downstairs and start baking porridge. ... It takes about 40 minutes to cook and we eat it in such large quantities with olive oil and salt that we negate any nutritional benefits. But we enjoy it. And while it's cooking it gives us time to look at our phones. Sometimes in this waiting period I try to do three slow sun salutations to stretch myself out, but often I don't. I brew the first of many coffees. ... Owing to forces beyond my control, life has not been as busy as it used to be. … I look at myself in the mirror and try to see what others see. Examine my bald patch, weigh myself and pull my stomach in. Then let it out. Then pull it in again. If I'm feeling positive I might get dressed at this point and go for my second coffee on the street below. I've lived in the same flat for 20 years and one of the rewards for this loyalty is that I know all the shopkeepers and stallholders on the street, for whom I have become like a piece of the old furniture they sell. Hello Glen, hello Kris, Ghino! … Then take it home and leave it on the sideboard with any post that has arrived from my stalker. Then I might call my agent. "Isn't she? No, no, nothing important... just checking in..." Soon it's time for my midmorning nap. Followed by the preparation of lunch, which I start at 12.15pm. … If it's sunny I might go for a cycle ride down the canal, ifit's raining I might masturbate and doze, or speculate on the extraordinary injustice of Philip Green's knighthood…

I hate this. Replies and quotes are disabled because the poster knows it’s crap. Musk is shit. Sagan didn’t say that. But he *did* write: “There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate… Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.”
A post from someone with the text: “I’m with Carl Sagan on this.” then an image of Elon Musk with the text: “"Mars is the
ultimate lifeboat for human
consciousness.
Expanding our footprint across the stars is an
absolute biological imperative to outlive the inevitable decay of earth."
ELON MUSK” alongside an image of Carl Sagan with the text: “"Abandoning a dying planet instead of
healing it is the ultimate hubris.
Escaping to the stars is just a
billionaire's fantasy to avoid cleaning up the mess left behind."

Journalistic balance does not require that you seek to find the positives in the largest, most sustained act of cheating in professional sports history. Especially if it's investigating an idea that, apparently, no one independent or respectable can be found to put their name to.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment.

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

It’s 24 years since the sheriff’s department in Coldwater, Michigan heard that Al-Qaeda was carrying out telemarketing fraud, and issued a statement warning people—only later discovering that their source was... perhaps not to be relied upon
Onion story: Al-Qaeda Allegedly Engaging In Telemarketing. It is illustrated with a photo of (apparently) Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden’s second in command, wearing a headset while sitting in a work cubicle. The story reads: WASHINGTON, DC—In a chilling development, the CIA announced Monday that it has acquired a videotape showing suspected al-Qaeda operatives engaging in what appears to be telemarketing. "This video, obtained from a credible third-party source, features grainy footage of a group of men strongly believed to be al-Qaeda members making phone solicitations for vacation-home rentals, long-distance phone service, magazine subscriptions, and a vast array of other products and services," CIA Director George Tenet said at a press conference. "Many of these calls have occurred, unthinkably, during the dinner hour." Added Tenet: "We had known about al-Qaeda's practice of raising money through drug trafficking and money laundering, but it seems the full scope of their depravity had barely been imagined." The video is not the only evidence of telemarketing activity within al-Qaeda. According to Tenet, CIA agents tracking the terrorist organization over the past 12 months made steady progress infiltrating its communications network, eventually gaining access to transmissions to and from al-Qaeda operatives. These transmissions included a number of telemarketing "cold calls" to randomly chosen U.S. citizens.

When you shuffle a pack of cards it's overwhelmingly likely that the sequence of cards you end up with has never existed before. Even if a billion people had been shuffling a billion decks of cards every second since the Big Bang, we'd have covered less than 0.5% of possible deck orders by now.
