Now I'm worm-pilled.

More seriously, I think there needs to be some investigation into the fine line between being "-pilled" and having brain worms. There's a clear path from one to the other, but they seem to be separate afflictions. For instance one could be "Tooze-pilled" (fantastic call on that BTW) by subscribing to his substack, devouring his books and following him on Twitter without getting brainworms. If Ukraine comes up in conversation with coworkers and you just lol and start yammering about heat pumps and Russian demands for the purchase of gas in rubles, or start shitposting about a Columbia professor, you probably have brain worms.
