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".
Feel like the work of a chaos God. The Toy Maker or Tzeentch maybe?
Eris is a chaos goddess. She’s the Greek goddess of causing problems because she thinks it’ll be entertaining
I'm ashamed to say not very familiar with her. Looked up wiki and found this.
There is a whole religion on her. Did dems piss her off?
Probably not Loki. I don't feel this is his brand.
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…
This is interesting nutshell on 2 chaos gods. Hope they do Eris solid in Hades 2 cause now I'm interested.
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?
