As Madrid threatens to stop shared escooter services (due to safety concerns?), here are our data: -Severe injuries: 0 in 2 years -Other injuries reported: 2 in 2024 (or 5.7/million km). None involved a third party. -94% escooters parked properly I hope we can have a discussion

@levie Interesting point @Jason @DavidSacks . Is Trump’s strength on the economy overstated ?

Jesus Christ watch this and share it everywhere, finally a journalist just *saying* it

Le RN ne change pas et nombre de ses candidat•es posent problème tant l’ADN du FN semble omniprésent.

@DavidSacks What are the lies about how it started ?

A WAR OF LIES The war in Ukraine is based on lies — lies about how it started, how it’s going, and how it will end. We are told that Ukraine is winning when in fact it is losing. We are told that the war makes NATO stronger when in fact it is depleting it. We are told that Ukraine’s biggest problem is a lack of funds from the U.S. Congress when in fact the West can’t produce enough ammunition — a problem that will take years to fix. We are told that Russia is suffering greater casualties when in fact Ukraine is running out of soldiers — another problem money can’t fix. We are told that the world is with us when in fact the Global Majority believes U.S. policy is the height of folly. We are told that there is no opportunity to make peace when in fact we have rejected multiple opportunities for a negotiated settlement. We are told that if Ukraine keeps fighting, it will improve its negotiating position when in fact the terms will only get much worse than what was already available and rejected. Nevertheless the lies will succeed in dragging out the war. Congress will appropriate more funds. Russia will take more territory. Ukraine will mobilize more young men and women to feed into the meat grinder. Discontent will mount. Eventually there will be a crisis in Kiev and the Zelensky government will be toppled. And then, when the war is finally lost, when the whole country lays in smoldering ruins on a funeral pyre of their own making, the liars will say “well we tried.” Having prevented any alternative, having smeared anyone who told the truth as puppets for the enemy, the liars will say “We did our best. We stood up to Putin.” In fact, they will claim, we would have succeeded but for the fifth column of Putin apologists who stabbed the Ukrainians in the back. Then, having shifted blame and patted themselves on the back, they will blithely move on to the next war, as they moved onto Ukraine after their disasters in Afghanistan and Iraq. The lies are comprehensive — but they will work.

Exciting News! 🚀 We've reached a preliminary agreement to merge with rival @dott, poised to lead European micro-mobility and transform cities sustainably. Thanks to our amazing teams! #TIER #Dott #MicroMobility #Sustainability

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

Les trottinettes plébiscitées dans l'agglomération de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines

.@pureelectric_uk expects private e-scooter ownership to jump 200% after Paris vote. Read more: bit.ly/3U6kZ4R

« Maman, j'ai eu 7,5 sur 100 à mon examen ! Bravo mon petit c'est une grande réussite. » Pas facile d'être politique.

Vote des trottinettes en libre-service à Paris: le taux de participation s'élève à 7,46% bfmtv.com/paris/vote-sur…

@Lelievre_Adrien Enfin, 89 % des 7,4 % des Parisiens inscrits sur les listes ayant voté

@DavidZipper Disappointing outcome. Disappointing participation. Keep in mind that <8% of inscribed voters actually voted. Shame it was done on marathon day and that online voting was specifically not allowed for this vote (it was allowed for the other referendum held today).

Wow. In today's Paris referendum, nearly 90% of voters were against allowing shared e-scooters. I expected the "No" side to win, but not by that margin. france24.com/en/live-news/2…

@prabinjoel <8% of Parisians voted

Parisians voted against shared e-scooters! Almost 80% of votes were against. One step backwards!

Ainsi meurt la #trottinette à Paris. Sur un simulacre de démocratie participative et une campagne politique où seul le « Non » a été rendu audible. Amis riders, @sqy vous accueillera avec plaisir ! leparisien.fr/amp/paris-75/t…

Une heure après la fin des votes sur l’avenir des #trottinettes à #Paris, nous n’avons toujours pas les chiffres de la participation. Comment est-ce possible? Alors que pour tout scrutin, ils sont communiqués dès la clôture des opérations électorales. #votation

J’imagine que tous les Parisien(ne)s de plus de 60 ans qui s’expriment en masse dans les urnes sur les trottinettes à Paris n’ont jamais utilisé de Solex ni de Mobylette, à peu près 20 fois plus dangereux, quand ils étaient plus jeunes. #votation
