Here is the Department of New Yorker Verification website: dnyv.nyc And here is my score:
A very realistic facsimile of a government website point tally summary displaying full points for Tenure (Time enough), Ground Truth (You know the groun), Suffering (The city has had its due), and Everyday Life for a total of 1466 out of 1000 points.

My "About You" page on Amazon was really not that entertaining. They did get this right.

Took the Where Should I Live? quiz online and I suppose you could call this a reaffirming result. whereidlive.com/where-should...
A map of the United States presenting the results of a "Where Should I Live?" quiz showing New York as number 1, Washington as number 2, Massachusetts as number 3, Illinois as number 4 for reasons I cannot fathom, and Oregon as number 5.

Pennsylvania and California are the same color as my top 2 results, in case that means anything. And there are a lot of yellow states, while a swath of middle America and the South (ND, SD, NE, OK, AR, MI, and AL) are all red.

My first commutes were all underground. Now I get this view every morning.

Give me a steak, no cheese with extra cheese.
Screenshot of an online ordering page for an item called "STEAK SANDWHICH" described as "BREAD AND RIBEYE STEAK NO CHEESE!" with an icon of a wedge of cheese with a red circle around it with the line across it. The item costs $17.99.

The first topping box, labeled "Xtra cheese," is selected. Adding extra cheese to a "steak, no cheese" sandwich costs an additional $2.99.

Here's some of what I made. over the years. The most recent one, in the bottom right, is on sale at Quimby's in Brooklyn.
A selection of zines, most of which are quarter page size (5.5 inch by 4.25 inch rectangle shaped booklets).

Happy Bloomsday. Here's a stupid thing I made back in April while rereading Ulysses and came across the phrase "aurora borealis" in the Circe chapter.
A series of eight panels from the Steamed Hams short in the Simpson's 22 Short Films About Springfield. Two men have a conversation pulled from the following passage from the Circe chapter of James Joyce's Ulysses:

"Aurora borealis or a steel foundry? Ah, the brigade, of course. South side anyhow. Big blaze. Might be his house. Beggar's bush. We're safe. (He hums cheerfully.)"

Oh wow. That's very cool. I am imagining a wall clock version of the Clapping Music visualizer. Here is an illustration of Clapping Music that showed up in one of my maths textbooks as the header to a unit on sequences and series:
A visualization of Steve Reich's Clapping Music consisting of a series of alternating red and pink horizontal bars, each broken up by black squares at set intervals. The black squares are in the same place for both red and pink bars in the first four lines, then start to drift apart.

The MLB app decided to highlight the best thing about tonight's Phillies game.

Never going to pass up the opportunity to shout out nature's most lovable chaos agents.
STORY POINT
Seagulls

BOAM DRAFT
On the beach, Indy has one bullet left and the plane is banking back to finish them off.  Henry takes the gun from Indy, and fires a shot at the seagulls, who take flight and cause the plane to crash.

STOPPARD DRAFT
Indy has no bullets left. Henry uses his umbrella and shouting to startle the gulls, causing them to take flight.

w/r/t that last repost, here are two of my favorite moments from The Last Crusade, both directly the result of Stoppard's changes.
STORY POINT
Castle: Like father, like son	

BOAM DRAFT
Henry doesn't reveal until the Zeppelin scene that he, too, had slept with Elsa.

STOPPARD DRAFT
Indy here asks Henry how he knew she was a Nazi and he responds that "she talks in her sleep."

Just now on the ABC crawl: "Michigan kicks game winning FG to beat Navy / South Florida falls at Navy." Impressive feat by Navy being in two games at once.

Someone posted this meme template and I had a stupid idea and decided to run with it.
The Girls vs. Boys meme with arrows and text starting from the top left girl that spell out the lyrics "Girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys" from the song "Girls & Boys" by Blur.

Today I learned about fanfare trumpets, which look like regular trumpets but with an extended tube so you can hang banners from it. The US Army Herald Trumpets played "God Bless America" during the Phillies game tonight and it sounded awesome.
