Satire is dead
Long live satire.
May Eris bless us with humorous chaos instead of just the sad kind
She'd probably leave a golden diaper at a GOP convention with a label saying "For the most worthy".
Eris is a chaos goddess. She’s the Greek goddess of causing problems because she thinks it’ll be entertaining
Yeah she’s similar to Loki, but Loki is more the worst person in your theater group. Loki fucked their way into their problems and by Asgard they’ll fuck their way out of them. At their core Loki is chaotic but borne from insecurity.
Eris is more “does this dress make my butt look fat?” She just thinks things could be different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. Eris is chaos born from someone too smart for her own good but not as smart as she thinks and suffering from chronic understimulation.
Dems do want stability…
It should be noted that my take is more of a modern reinterpretation. Other interpretations of her are as the goddess of conflict and as a counterpart to ares.
Regardless I do hope she’s in it. I’m already excited for hekate.

I feel bad for The Onion, their job just keeps getting harder & harder. They should probably switch their business to fortune-telling.
Lol

The second best quote about Kissinger
The first one is about him being dead?
"Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands." ~Anthony Bourdain
