‘Le K-way de la honte’ This is how Joy, @morrisonbrink.bsky.social and myself travel on the metro!

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Surely we should eat for free here?

Magritte in Montmartre

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

It's official! ... The French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot just invited Britain back into the Single Market. He said we'd be met with "open arms". #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Most europeans would welcome uk back into EU - This certainly matches what I hear from my french friends and neighbours www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Joy on Rue Norvins at the golden hour #foxterrier #paris

Quelques jours après ma photo de cette rue, ils y ont installé des "mini-bancs Davioud", à hauteur d'enfant - apparemment il y en aura bientôt dans d'autres rues aux écoles (photos Le Parisien et Mairie de Paris)

Apparently it is #MosaicMonday ? #foxterrier #paris #architecture

Vous avez été 66% à vous prononcer “pour” végétaliser et rendre piétonnes 500 nouvelles rues réparties dans tous les quartiers. Dans les prochaines semaines, une concertation sera ouverte pour définir la liste des rues et débuter la transformation de la Ville !

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

Hey @evanhd.bsky.social - nice to hear Scofidio tribute and discussion about the New York highline, but as usual no-one mentions that the NY highline was specifically inspired by and modelled on the "promenade plantée" project in Paris completed several yeaers before the Highline got started.

@evanhd.bsky.social Promenade Plantée opened in 1993- www.theguardian.com/travel/2017/...

EXC - Britain’s biggest unions call for much closer UK-EU ties amid ‘volatile’ global economy In its first major intervention on Europe in five years, the TUC will call for a “much-needed” closer relationship with the EU, including for workers www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

😂 Reminds me of this, which still makes me laugh like a drain whenever I think of it.

Professor Brian Cox - brain the size of a planet "My thought for the day. Single Market. Customs Union. More money for defence. Strengthen Europe. Place us firmly back at the heart of our continent economically, militarily and geopolitically."

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

For Valentine's, post something red from your gallery.

Is this the most carnage caused by a Doge since Enrico Dandolo sacked Constantinople in 1204?

"The first thing to understand about Brexit is that it is defined by lying. It was itself a lie, at its base, as a concept. It was sold through lies. It was delivered through lies. And it has now served to place the notion of lies in the heart of our politics" iandunt.substack.com/p/brexit-fiv...

Turns out Joy is a music lover #dogsofbluesky

Poll time

Kung Hei Fat Choi to all who celebrate - "Good luck and prosperity in Year of Snake!

YouGov find just 30% of people think we were right to leave the EU. The lowest number yet. Just 10% of 18-24 year olds think it was the right decision.

A nice problem to have. "You don't need any sensors to observe that traffic noise has dropped significantly in Paris. ...[But] as the ambient hum of cars fades, the intermittent noise generated by traffic (horns, sirens) and people (music, café terraces) stands out." www.lemonde.fr/en/politics/...

Starmer and the Govt need to sease this👇🏼olive branch from EU with both hands and not let go❗️ EU 'could consider' UK joining pan-Europe customs scheme

Highly amused to discover that folk are now referring to Teslas as "Swasticars"

Reasonably chunky drop in gilt yields this morning. The GREAT PANIC of early 2025 has been wiped out.

One of the most important model city-building projects in the world. “Initially, everyone thought it would cause gridlock. But people adapted. Now we can’t imagine the highway ever being here.” The fantastic people-place that replaced an elevated highway, transforming a city & improving traffic.
