@nprofile1q... it's beautiful out there! Last month, I visited the area for the first time and rode up into the Jemez Mountains from Santa Fe, out to Bandelier National Monument, and back around to Albuquerque. Definitely hoping to return someday!

Inspired by recent travel: Q4. Have you ever seen or brought a cycle on an airplane with you? How did you pack it for transport? I've heard that Bromptons can fit into overhead bins as carry-on lugga...

Great question! Every time I travel (trying to do less flying) I bring my Bike Friday New World Tourist, which fits in regular check-in luggage. I can then unpack it at the other end and ride a bike that matches my regular bike fit. I've used it:

- to travel to meetings and see friends
- to explore a new place (like my ride long the Berlin Wall trail)
- to get to more interesting restaurants and cultural institutions
- to meet people I wouldn't have met otherwise
- to ride back home from a meeting. Since I live ~225 miles from NYC, I often take the bus down and ride back

My teenage self would have been thrilled to know it would be possible to have days like today:

Hi Klaus, great question! My view would be that we know the extent of the harms that people have experienced on X (non-consensual sexual content for example) thanks to researchers who were studying the platform.

The DSA requires platforms larger than a minimum threshold to comply with reasonable researcher data access requests, making those harms more knowable. If X succeeds at weakening the transparency requirements, it will make it harder for researchers to access data for X and every other large platform, which will make us all less safe everywhere online.
