  • Grill Pill is to log off and live with the people around you. You are supposed to take the energy you would be dumping into petty online bullshit into cultivating your relationships with the people in your life. Whether that’s organizing, chilling with friends, caring for loved ones, etc.

    Instead of shouting down idiots online, doom scrolling, etc. you host a barbecue with the people you care about. matt-grillin

    Zen Fascism is an entirely different relationship, between you and the spoils of empire.





  • I think a bigger part of us not getting someone like Klobuchar or Castro is any Democrat with an actual political career didn’t want to be saddled with this loser election because the political climate is so hostile. Imagine being dumb enough to choose picking up where Genocide Joe left off with the “vibes based economy,” Ukraine, and Gaza all still happening and bringing heat on your administration before you are even inaugurated. It’s much safer (again, for their political careers) to grab the BlUe WaVe hype after a republican term.








  • I don’t know if you’ve ever read it but the plot of “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” (1889) by Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens is essentially this. For a long time it was on my “favorite books” shortlist.

    brief plot summary

    In the book, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut named Hank Morgan receives a severe blow to the head and is somehow transported in time and space to England during the reign of King Arthur. After some initial confusion and his capture by one of Arthur’s knights, Hank realizes that he is actually in the past, and he uses his knowledge to make people believe that he is a powerful magician. He becomes a rival of Merlin, who appears to be little more than a fraud, and gains the trust of King Arthur. Hank attempts to modernize the past in order to make people’s lives better. Hank is disgusted by how the Barons treat the commoners and tries to implement democratic reforms, but in the end, he is unable to prevent the death of Arthur. Hank declares England a republic, but the Catholic Church, growing fearful of his wealth and power, issues an interdict against him.
