America, going viral, funerals
Gaby GoldbergToday we sent out the latest edition of People Watching, a newsletter to help you discover great, under-the-radar people. Here are a few highlights: • @aijamayrock (835k+ on Instagram, 460k+ on TikTok) makes videos about fascinating topics, from technology and aging to Jews around the world. She spent two months in Japan as an Eisenhower Fellow and has written two bestselling books. • @SamRaus1 is the David Boaz Resident Writing Fellow at Young Voices. His writing on the past, present, and future of free society has appeared in USA Today, Newsweek, and The Hill. • @Simon__Grimm is an editor at @WorksInProgMag, where he covers AI and European progress—from the market for less capable models to liberal compute and talent sorting in Germany. • @being_on_line is a designer, artist, and cyberethnographer. In a recent conversation with @Inc, he explored the shift from monolithic to polylithic culture, and what “going viral” means when our feeds no longer give us shared references. • @kendallhtucker runs creative experiments at @tryramp, including debuting a Broadway musical and hosting a funeral for the penny. Outside work, Kendall has hosted a Hot Mitzvah, taught beer pong to Brits, and launched a Twitter lie detector. Special thanks to @knowerofmarkets for helping curate this week’s list. If you have feedback or recommendations, email or DM me. The full archive is at pplwatching.substack.com; subscribe via the original thread.
