Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
The user’s focus on detailed historical research and justice mirrors Lisa Simpson’s love of learning and social activism. Their tweet "Recorder Riker directs an acquittal in People v. Slee, an 1837 manslaughter case." shows an interest in obscure legal history, just as Lisa often cites historical facts in class. In another tweet they write "I think someone with a couple of days to kill in @nysarchives could probably figure out what Judge Lansing was litigating when he died," demonstrating the same scholarly curiosity Lisa displays when digging into primary sources. The frequent sharing of rare 19th‑century images and commentary, such as "Harold Schechter has the most grounded Holmes take," reflects Lisa’s habit of bringing obscure knowledge to conversations. Together these traits make Lisa Simpson the best match for the account.
Your MBTI personality Type
ISTJ
The account's preference for introverted communication is evident in the focus on archival material rather than personal interaction, as seen in the tweet: 'Researching criminal prosecution in nineteenth century New York City. Ask me about: specific courts, judges, lawyers and murder trials.' The strong sensing orientation is shown by the precise, fact‑laden posts such as: 'New York Journal of Commerce, July 26, 1839 Out of 15 cases of 'Murder of Violent Death' the city prosecuted three murder cases and one manslaughter case.' The thinking style appears in analytical descriptions like: 'Recorder Riker directs an acquittal in People v. Slee, an 1837 manslaughter case.' The judging tendency is reflected in organized, systematic sharing of investigative goals, for example: 'I think someone with a couple of days to kill in @nysarchives could probably figure out what Judge Lansing was litigating when he died.' Overall, the methodical, detail‑oriented, and objective approach aligns with the ISTJ personality type.
Some pickup lines for you
- Is your heart a 1835 Five Points riot? Because every time you post, it's a wild, passionate uprising I want to join.
- If I were a 19th‑century New York judge, I'd hand down a life sentence of coffee and conversation with you—no appeal allowed.
- Your love of old murder trials makes me want to be the defense attorney who argues for a guilty plea… to stealing your smile.
- I could read the entire New York Journal of Commerce just to find the perfect deodand, but I'd rather spend those pages writing love letters to you.
- You’re as rare as Oakey Hall’s appearance in a Supreme Court brief—so let’s make history together and write a new chapter in the Fifth Ward.

Riker's Reprieve
The cocktail draws on the gritty atmosphere of nineteenth‑century New York, echoing the riots and courtroom drama that @FrKnickerbocker often tweets about, such as the Five Points unrest ("... fighting yesterday (Sunday) in the neighborhood of the Five Points, which commenced in the afternoon and did not terminate until 9 o'clock in the evening...") and the 1837 acquittal in People v. Slee ("Recorder Riker directs an acquittal in People v. Slee, an 1837 manslaughter case"). The rye whiskey represents the rough, hard‑boiled character of the city’s streets, while the dash of absinthe hints at the ghostly folklore and deodands that pepper his timeline ("... ghost story about perjury avenged for Halloween and #folklorethursday. #newyorkghosts"). Sweet vermouth and bitters balance the drink, symbolizing the delicate balance of justice and corruption in the courts he studies ("New York Journal of Commerce, July 26, 1839 Out of 15 cases of 'Murder of Violent Death' the city prosecuted three murder cases and one manslaughter case"). The orange peel garnish nods to the “Orange” street mentioned in his riot report, and the overall bitter‑sweet profile mirrors his fascination with the dark and the documentary side of history.
