Bret Easton Ellis needs to stop punching down and focus his vitriol on his one, true mortal enemy: journalists who make needless comments about his weight

what if on Taskmaster one of the contestants died in the middle of filming a task but after doing enough of the task for it to be deemed complete so since there was nothing in the rules to say you had to be alive throughout they allowed it. & then all the other contestants bombed so badly that the dead person won the task and in the studio Greg was there like 'wow you all managed to do worse than Christine and she was dead for most of it'
they don't sub in a replacement contestant for the studio shows so one of the chairs is just empty and sometimes when contestants are arguing their case on something they're like 'I think if Christine was still with us she'd take my side' and Greg would be like 'for fuck's sake stop bringing up Christine'
also everyone (Greg included) would dunk on Alex for 'killing Christine' with the task and Alex would keep nervously laughing it off and be like 'legally speaking we weren't responsible for what happened to Christine'
obviously it would already have been announced that Christine died filming Taskmaster but during the show they wouldn't say which task it happened in so every time there's a Christine segment it'd be like is this the one where she died 🤔 let's watch and find out
Tallahassee by the Mountain Goats is sooo always sunny coded. Likee I handed you a drink of the lovely little thing on which our survival depends on. People say friends don’t destroy one another, what do they know about friends. Also they literally start to drown hand in unlovable hand.

the sense of horror when you finish a book that was Ass Bad and you go to see what fellow haters are saying but all the reviews say it is the best thing they've ever read. feel like i just saw my reflection in the mirror move all by itself or something
The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.
The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"
For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.
The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome

Not disagreeing,just curious / looking for an elaboration how did Robert SA Bret? I might be remembering wrong but they didnt end up having sex
CW: discussions of sexual assault, pedophilia, CSA, rape
I put some of this in the tags but want to be comprehensive, so apologies for repeating things.
Before I go into any further detail, you are in fact correct: legally what Robert did was abusive sexual contact - engaging in over-the-clothes sexual relations with someone who 1. was intoxicated and 2. he manipulated - not sexual assault. (This obviously disregarding the fact that gay men had little to no legal protections when it came to sexual activity in 80s California).
What Robert did to Bret was essentially the sexual equivalent of asking the "weird, nerdy girl*" out as a joke. Sure, in scenarios like that the girl usually feels flattered during the asking-out, but afterwards, upon learning it was just a joke, she'll feel utterly humiliated and like she's been toyed with romantically.
*I say girl because it's far more common, both as a trope and in real life.
Robert came onto Bret really suddenly (whilst very likely knowing he was high, too). Of course, consent culture was different in the 80s, but the difference between Robert approaching Bret sexually and Bret's relationships with Matt/Ryan is a chasm. For a start, he was friendly with both Matt and Ryan before they started hooking up. And even then there was always something foreplay-adjacent: swimming, watching a movie, sitting in the jacuzzi. Until Robert started touching him Bret sort of thought Robert was going to kill him - not a great segue into anything but CNC (and crucially the first C was very much missing here).
Arousal isn't consent. Bret just happened to find Robert really physically attractive - he didn't have a crush on him, he didn't fantasize about dating him, he didn't even like him as a person. Robert was just his type. And Bret was so insecure, the idea that a hot guy wanted him was probably a bit of a turn on in and of itself. And, again, Robert was touching him sexually without his consent, he wasn't just randomly turned-on.
Robert's intention, whilst not physically, was to hurt Bret. He wanted to humiliate him. Maybe - honestly likely - Bret would've consented to something sexual with Robert, but that wasn't what was happening. There was no way, if asked, Bret ever would have consented to what Robert actually did to him.
Plus, just look at Bret's reaction - sitting on the floor and sobbing as soon as Robert left. He definitely felt violated, humiliated, and hurt. I mean, he did kill the guy after this.
I think, in Bret's mind, this was worse than what Terry did to him. Obviously, from an objective standpoint, what Terry did was infinitely worse: groomed, manipulated, then raped a boy he'd known since he was a child. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, assaulted him again. And while he doesn't say it explicitly, Bret clearly felt absolutely wretched after both of these encounters. But he could also compartmentalise this by making himself feel like a grown-up who'd made a business decision. Even though he wasn't, he rationalised that he'd been very in control during his encounters with Terry.
There was no wiggle room to do this with his experience with Robert. Robert had come into his house, physically intimidated him, made Bret vulnerable, called him a slur, then left, presumably to tell everyone the secret he'd risked all of his friendships to keep.
Having said all this, I 100% believe Robert's father was sexually abusive, and that's one of the reasons he thought it was okay to talk about Susan the way he did, and why he thought the solution to his Bret problem was to come onto him like this. It's still absolutely vile behaviour and he should not have done it, but I really don't think Robert was some monster. He was a teenager from an abusive household who'd been taught this was the best way to solve his problems. They needed separating, like syrian hamsters when they try to eat each other.
being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.
(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)
