Welcome to the Tuesday Report, a Pirate Wires weekly digest of everything you need to know. Henceforth, in addition to my bi-weekly piece (“Pirate Wires”), our team’s technology, politics, and business features, and an assorted selection of wild cultural stories from the internet’s seething underbelly, we’re getting back to our newsletter roots.
The purpose of the Tuesday Report is to flesh the Pirate Wires story out. Links will be starker, connections will be brief, and I genuinely do encourage you all to join me in the comments. I expect the community component of the report to be much more active given the livelier, more rapidly evolving content. Enjoy the links, and catch you back here end of week with the usual piece.
