This time, I tried adding a bit more commentary to make things less dry.

Preface

I show my discovery graph in (via …) blocks, those without usually come from my RSS reader or the algorithm of the site
This is approximately a 1 in 20 filter of content
This is very disorganized, but hopefully still useful.
