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:

lyta gold - writes about issues around media literacy, sometimes rapid-fire reviews, and occasional digressions about star trek
becca rothfield - reviews books, writes books, and generally has novel perspectives on a lot of issues that are usually only discussed in inane ways on social media
alexandra leaving - the most personal blog-ish of the ones so far, but luckily she is a pretty interesting and funny person. i recommend her weezer article in particular.
i have more but in the interest of brevity thought i would end with pi.fyi comrade mdoinurmom's blog generally ambitious, which i just started reading fairly recently but have greatly enjoyed what i've seen so far
(btw i basically only read substack through my RSS feed and i recommend y'all do the same)
