Walleye is a culturally significant food in the Upper Midwest.[26] Walleye is popular in Minnesota; the Minnesota Legislature declared walleye the official state fish in 1965. Three towns—Garrison, Minnesota; Baudette, Minnesota; and Garrison, North Dakota—each claim to be the "Walleye Capital of the World" and a large statue of the fish is erected in each town.

To tell you the truth,I like drinking tea and eating fresh vegetables,but that doesn't fit my super cool image. I guess I just have to accept this about myself.

i have a stupid question. in the simpsons/life in hell what is the reference that is being made when they draw this crazy titty bra thing. is it... madonna... ?? or was it some other cultural touchstone from the time. it looks so specific. what is the meaning of the crazy titty bra
selma (or patty but i think it's selma) in the crazy titty bra

rereading lolita and feeling insane because, while i don't usually outsource my analysis, i got curious and googling around it feels like im in the minority for assuming quilty simply doesn't exist, or was a name HH projected his own guilt or "shadow self" onto?? im not pretending that guy was real

i still think about rachel bighead from the rocko's special sometimes. i don't know if this is a weird take but i think it was really sweet of joe murray to offer up his "self insert" character this way to an identity he (presumably) doesn't share himself. like offering the closest thing to himself

starting hg wells the time machine since it's such a classic and because they make a lot of overt allusions to it in better call saul and already perking my ears up at this imagery. the candle was so prominent to that final howard scene, maybe that's the moment saul would have gone back to really
Then, when we had all imitated the action of the Medical Man, he said: “Now I want you clearly to understand that this lever, being pressed over, sends the machine gliding into the future, and this other reverses the motion. This saddle represents the seat of a time traveller. Presently I am going to press the lever, and off the machine will go. It will vanish, pass into future Time, and disappear. Have a good look at the thing. Look at the table too, and satisfy yourselves there is no trickery. I don’t want to waste this model, and then be told I’m a quack.”

There was a minute’s pause perhaps. The Psychologist seemed about to speak to me, but changed his mind. Then the Time Traveller put forth his finger towards the lever. “No,” he said suddenly. “Lend me your hand.” And turning to the Psychologist, he took that individual’s hand in his own and told him to put out his forefinger. So that it was the Psychologist himself who sent forth the model Time Machine on its interminable voyage. We all saw the lever turn. I am absolutely certain there was no trickery. There was a breath of wind, and the lamp flame jumped. One of the candles on the mantel was blown out, and the little machine suddenly swung round, became indistinct, was seen as a ghost for a second perhaps, as an eddy of faintly glittering brass and ivory; and it was gone—vanished! Save for the lamp the table was bare.

Everyone was silent for a minute. Then Filby said he was damned.

The Psychologist recovered from his stupor, and suddenly looked under the table. At that the Time Traveller laughed cheerfully. “Well?” he said, with a reminiscence of the Psychologist. Then, getting up, he went to the tobacco jar on the mantel, and with his back to us began to fill his pipe.

We stared at each other.

i feel like books/literature and music are some of the only art media where sex/sex scenes/sexual themes are gamely absorbed by nearly the entire audience as an inherently valuable part of the art and not a gratuitous add-on. maybe visual media is too much for people to handle or something

still obsessionposting sorry can't stop. i really like how basically all the symbols/themes/implications are pretty simple and easy to grasp once you look at them, but the move doesn't hand them to you. like nikki standing in the shadow of a dark room. obviously there once you see it. it's neato

duel was also a totally crazy movie. emasculation themes aside it’s kinda nuts how rarely a movie truly capitalizes on how terrifying a motor vehicle as a weapon can truly be, considering the daily latent threat for almost everyone. you’d think he’d run out of ways to keep making it scary but nah

batty @batty.bsky.social · 27/07/2026
dunno if it’s strange to say the “wish nikki” entity in obsession was also a tragic victim character and imo relatably so. cursed to be obsessed with fulfilling a purpose you’re not even very good at, and everyone can tell you’re failing at what you really want to succeed in. in pain because of it

sitting out the fan panic over mlp g6 because if lauren faust is going to both sdcc and efnw she's probably involved, and that leaked art doesn't look like something she'd come back for. it's either outdated or there's 2 shows and that art is not for the one she's doing. just my asspulled prediction

finally got around to witch hat episode 1; only read the first 3 volumes of the manga but watching the anime gave me the feeling that sometimes things are already in their ideal form. WHA will probably always be at its best in its manga form, so i should probably read instead of watch it

i knew this story before but i didn't realize the benefactor was hot
Tchaikovsky’s fortunes changed in 1877 when he gained the emotional and financial support of wealthy patron Nadezhda Von Meck. The generous annual stipend of 6000 roubles she gave him – about 20x what he would have made as a civil servant – enabled him to quit his job with the Conservatory and become Russia’s first full-time, professional composer.

While the composer and his patron exchanged more than 1,200 deeply personal letters in the course of 13 years (that’s nearly two a week), they met only once—accidentally and awkwardly—and they never spoke a word to each other. Von Meck stipulated that she never wanted to meet as a condition of her patronage, and the socially awkward Tchaikovsky was more than happy to comply.

You are afraid that you will not find in me those ideal qualities that your imagination has attributed to me. And you are quite right.”—Tchaikovsky, in a letter to Von Meck.

btw i talk about story stuff a lot but it's just my opinion. i don't think there's a right or wrong way, i just know what i like.if there ever was a subjective topic this is it. my only real hot (it's lukewarm lol) take is stop consuming things you know you dislike and make/consume stuff you do like

btw half-joking but they totally gentrified the lo-fi girl. in WotH it's a major implied point of the story that she's in a lower class compared to a lot of her classmates and lives in a tiny cramped apartment. lofi girl lives in some kind of pinterest cozycore high rise

i remember a video essayist i like saying once that essayists mostly approach things they want to criticize because there's nothing really to say about something that's perfect, but i completely disagree, i have so much to say about the things i like

this happened to me
“I will tell you a story," Schmendrick said. "As a child I was apprenticed to the mightiest magician of all, the great Nikos, whom I have spoken of before. But even Nikos, who could turn cats into cattle, snowflakes into snowdrops, and unicorns into men, could not change me into so much as a carnival cardsharp. A last he said to me, 'My son, your ineptitude is so vast, your incompetence so profound, that I am certain you are inhabited by greater power than I have ever known. Unfortunately, it seems to work backwards at the moment, and even I can find no way to set it right. It must be that you are meant to find your own way to reach your power in time; but frankly, you should live so long as that will take you. Therefore I grant it that you shall not age from this day forth, but will travel the world round and round, eternally inefficient, until at last you come to yourself and know what you are. Don't thank me. I tremble at your doom.”

hmm it makes sense why so many stories put a wide-eyed ingénue so purehearted they never do anything wrong even unintentionally into the protagonist slot. makes things a lot less complicated on both the audience and artist in a lot of ways
