Rep. Barbara Lee, who has represented the East Bay of California since 1998, is one of Congress’s staunchest proponents of diversity in tech. Representing Oakland, Emeryville and other cities nestled around the hills of the East Bay, she knows all too well about the benefits reaped by those in Silicon Valley, San Francisco and beyond.
We are happy to announce that Rep. Lee will be joining us for a fireside chat at TechCrunch Sessions: Justice in just a few days.

Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin published an updated timeline for the first flight of New Glenn, the orbital rocket it’s building to complement its existing New Shepard suborbital space launch vehicle. The company is now targeting Q4 2022 – a slippage of roughly a year from the prior stated timeline of sometime towards the end of 2021. The main cause, per Blue Origin? Space Force passing on using New Glenn to launch national security payloads during a recent contract bid...

Yet another police officer is in hot water over accusations that they shared a derogatory meme about George Floyd, joining the ranks of others who have allegedly made fun of the Black man’s death at the hands of law enforcement.
A cop in Sterling Heights, Michigan, was quickly placed on administrative leave this week after WXYZ-TV, an ABC affiliate in Detroit, reported that they’d allegedly posted an image to Facebook of ex-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s...

Fan Controlled Football season is underway. Is it good?
On February 13th, a new football league came into our lives. It’s one of the most creative, interest-piquing ideas I’ve seen in a while: A football league where the fans call the plays and make decisions.
That might sound great, but is the league making a quality product? Over the past two weeks, I’ve been analyzing the play on my twitch channel, and it’s time to get these notes off.
Let’s take a look.

Only 10 percent of the United States Postal Service’s new fleet of mail trucks will be battery-powered despite President Biden’s desire to convert the entire government fleet, USPS head Louis DeJoy revealed in Congressional testimony on Wednesday. The other 90 percent will be gas-powered, though the trucks — which are being built by defense contractor Oshkosh — are supposedly designed to be converted into electric vehicles down the road.

Spotify’s making it easier to parse your liked songs. The company is rolling out a new feature today that’ll let users filter their liked songs by genre and mood. This way, you can enjoy more of what you like without compromising on the vibe. I, for example, have songs that would be fun in the club but also folky songs for relaxation time, both of which are under my liked songs umbrella. This new feature would let me decide what mood I’m in and then listen.

The Virtual Desktop app for the Oculus Quest has been updated to enable the wireless streaming of PC VR games natively over Wi-Fi, eliminating the need to go through the complex multistep sideloading process I outlined here. Oddly enough, this isn’t the first time the app has sported this feature. Its developer introduced it in the app in 2019 but claims it was forced to remove it because Oculus was developing its own wireless streaming solution.
According to an interview with UploadVR,...
