It’s out! I started work on my first and last WIRED feature three years ago. It’s about space law, satellite constellations, colonization, and a team of young women from Zimbabwe https://t.co/DNFAuZxGPp

California’s state Senate will be at least 50% women for the first time in history and, depending on a few undecided races, the state Legislature overall could reach gender parity for the first time. https://t.co/xc6bDYR2sD

NEW INVESTIGATION:
Uber and Lyft locked drivers out of work to game a NYC minimum wage law. We crowdsourced screenshots, monitored surge pricing and ran financial models to reveal the devastating impact on drivers. w/ @natlungfy @A_W_Gordon @DeniseDSLu

For the past six months, I’ve been trying to figure out why the tech industry – and in particular crypto – have been pouring so much money into political races.

I met @emdrums when we sat at the same table at a wedding a year ago, and I'm so glad that we did. Good things lie ahead for sure. Congrats!

Emily Bloch was sworn in as the 108th president of the Society. "It was the in-person trainings and programming @SPJFla hosted that first inspired me to get involved...and helped mold my career into what it is today," said @emdrums. Congratulations Emily! https://t.co/gweIHaI04r

❌ Breaking: Gov. Newsom vetoed the legislature's most ambitious (and contentious) bill this year to regulate A.I. It would have required testing of A.I. models before companies could deploy them, to assess their risk to society. https://t.co/7GLUUGbi2r

.@VP Kamala Harris pledges to build 3 million affordable homes and apartments in her first term as president, but Gov. Newsom has fallen short on a similar campaign promise in California. What lessons can she learn? https://t.co/w17pnCe9k5

What does Thierry Breton's departure mean for European Tech Regulation? And what can we expect from the next European Commission regarding digital policy? I tried replying to these burning questions with the great @justinhendrix of @techpolicypress.
