that's cool, can we also have e.g. 1 park?
Paris is working to become a '15-minute city' where everything you need is located locally within 15 mins. Every street will have a bike lane, 60,000 parking spots are being removed & replaced with parks. They aren't done yet. We have the solutions implement them. #ActOnClimate

@TransilienSav bonjour! I tried really hard to buy a ticket with you, two machines, two tries, neither worked. I downloaded your app, I couldn't buy a ticket there. No station staff. No help. I boarded the train, and immediately paid your ticket inspectors a fine.

If the machines won't let you buy a ticket, and you can't find help, what are you supposed to do?! I have paid your fine but I think it's a horrible first experience for a foreign traveller

I wouldn't be bothered if I hadn't first spent 30mins repeatedly trying to buy a ticket and then find an actual member of staff, but I really wanted a ticket! Also the fact you can't buy on the train makes this even harder.

nobody was saying they were big green men
No @MarsCuriosity *hasn't* found a "secret door" on Mars leading to a martian chamber, tomb or shopping mall. It's just a fracture in the ancient rock, barely big enough for a cat to squeeze through. You can even see the back if you zoom in. NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk/S Atkinson

This is a bit peculiar. @thameswater tell me I used 109000(!) litres in a single period... a 108000 litre increase on the previous period. Any way to confirm they're not making it up?

If you want info of (experienced) activists running evacuations in Eastern Ukraine for whom donations would make a big difference right now hit me up. The money you send won't buy guns and won't be swallowed by a big org.

too much alone time with the calendar today
Last day working for @Twitter! Thanks everyone who works the other side of this thing, it's been good* (*I think that's an appropriately reductive take on it given the format).

Paris update. Very keen to know the backstory to the knobbly municipal sculpture now used as a dumping ground for cot boxes.

Wow. Is there a place that men better ingratiate themselves than in the unseen DMs of famous women? #bruh

Tescos, the birthplace of much UK ambient. Will hugely miss Peter and pita
Replying to @johnedenuk
We briefly had weekend jobs at Tescos together and I remember vividly Peter getting bollocked because he had spent about an hour dropping Marmite jars on a concrete floor because he liked how they sounded.
Managed to do something other than eating and staring with day 2 of quarantine

Clearly this means some crucial work can now take place
