wanderingnewyork: Looking up at buildings in the Financial District at night I miss living in New York City. I miss loved ones. They are gone from this world now. Twelve years ago, they were alive. I miss you, my Husband. And my Father, and Phyllis, Aunt Bertha, Grandma Sylvia, Cousin Celia, Mel. I miss you, I think of you every day. The grief is... - http://dataanxiety.tumblr.com/post...

pegobry: What an incredibly stupid thing to say. I could not agree any more emphatically with pegobry’s observation. Most people feel compassion toward Eleanor Roosevelt, due to her husband FDR’s later marital infidelity. I read the sentiment above. I think of how it reflects on Eleanor’s outlook (if it were truly representative of such). Then, my... - http://dataanxiety.tumblr.com/post...

I’d like to see the Venn diagram of people who consider themselves social media experts writing about ‘follow graphs’ and ‘social graphs’ and effective ways to monitize via targeted advertising versus those people who say they are never swayed by advertising. - http://dataanxiety.tumblr.com/post...
fantagraphics: comicsworkbook: I’ve written before about the pleasure you get from how Nancy’s childhood rage radiates off the page, but this panel is one of my absolute favorites. That classic moment of realization that grown ups are hypocrites and that it’s all well and good for a little girl to play in the mud on television, but when I do it,... - http://dataanxiety.tumblr.com/post...
Impossible Geometry: I’m waking up To ash and dust I wipe my brow And I sweat my rust Imagine Dragons - Radioactive Slightly odd, almost dub step sound that reminds me of Sonic Youth distortion.

I just realized that I have (and use) a “conspicuous consumption” tag much more than I realized.

In the wild: Twitter recommendation engine at work
I don’t think Twitter is ready to make political predictions or stock market buy-sell suggestions, not quite yet. The NLP and recommendation algorithm require a little more training data and testing for Twitter to be considered a formidable new SaaS market entrant. - http://dataanxiety.tumblr.com/post...

This is a Bagworm Moth, apparently—not an aphid, which was whatsthatbug’s first guess.
