My 100 words a minute Pitman's New Era has been dead for decades, but when I was writing about markets (UK stocks and European bond markets) it was a real boon. Can't imagine how anyone would manage wihout it. Pitman's New Era isn't taught any more - too hard to learn.

There'll be tears on Sunday when we drive our son to Milan for his Erasmus year. Then again the ~€8K fees will be waived and the EU will bung him another ~€5K towards living expenses and he'll meet a stack of people so.... Madness to leave this programme. Madness. www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

Something I've wanted to say for awhile: if you want Bluesky to succeed, be generous with your reskeets. Likes are great, but we also need traffic. There is more than enough good content to push, if you see something you like, help it succeed. Please and thank you
