This is the 101st edition of the Pirate Wires newsletter, and our 300th piece to date, marking three years of stories and analysis at the intersection of technology, politics, and culture. Over the last six months, I’ve formalized the Pirate Wires Corp, built a small team, launched a couple new subbrands, and have I told you lately about our podcast (seriously though, please subscribe)? While my ambition for the company is great, and we’re nowhere close to total institutional domination — the goal, obviously — I’m proud of what my team has been building, and 101 is a milestone worth celebrating. In the spirit of this, I took some time to reflect on what it is that sets this company apart, the story we’re telling, and the future of media.
