@kentparkstreet @jcd1974 @samuelpepys It was Thomas Shelton’s Shorthand, apparently also used by Isaac Newton and Thomas Jefferson! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sh…

@kentparkstreet @jcd1974 @samuelpepys wrote in shorthand, not a cypher. The occasional more risqué passages were in an odd mixture of French, Spanish and Italian.

@nraford I can only assume it improves some “interaction” metric that is still used to justify something by someone important.

I like @guardianmusic’s new monthly playlist theguardian.com/music/2017/sep… but I can’t search for it on Spotify itself. Not sure whose fault.
