I like people who make lists, recs, give explanations about random stuff and all things internet. I'm very passionate about the type of work of internet archivists and I would describe most of this newsletters as such. Without further ado:
The Crossroads Gazette: Where all roads are open. Essays on art, history, literature, folklore, and life.
User Mag: a tech and online culture publication by Taylor Lorenz, featuring exclusive reporting, interviews, and insights about the online world.
404 Media: is a journalist-founded digital media company exploring the ways technology is shaping–and is shaped by–our world. We're focused on investigative reports, longform features, blogs, and scoops about topics including: hacking, cybersecurity, cybercrime, sex, artificial intelligence, consumer rights, surveillance, privacy, and the democratization of the internet.
Postcards by elle: curated recommendations, brain food, and longform essays. Postcards delivered to you every week.
Coco Mocoe: The place to all trends, marketing and pop culture!
Garbage Day: a newsletter about having fun online.
Deez Links: the original fixations report: recs, reviews, & ruminations on our online quality of life.

Out of It: Mary Gaitskill's newsletter. Notes from outside the consternation machine.
After School by Casey Lewis: an examination of youth culture.
Ridiculous Little Things: a newsletter about taste and the root of our desires. Ridiculous Little Things is essays, interviews, guides, and recommendations to make us think more deeply about the minutiae.

Top Recs from @bee1000
The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished.
People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
