Discord sat in an overstuffed chair, next to a roaring fire. He wore a comfortable set of trousers and a smoking jacket. Removing his pipe, he addressed the audience:
"Greetings, everyone. I just wanted to take a moment and reflect. In October 2010, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered. It taught how to work together in harmony, build friendships, tackle difficult problems, and see things through a different perspective. Together, we laughed, we cried, we were inspired to make the world a better place. Finally, on October 12th, 2019, after nine wonderful seasons the series ended."
He paused for a moment to let that information sink in.
"Since then, world has seen a massive global pandemic, economies have collapsed, protests are in the streets. Billions of lives have been disrupted. The Cowboys and the Patriots are terrible, while the Bills and Browns are great. We've had an unconventional and disputed presidential election. The world has turned upside down.
"Is it a coincidence? I think not...."
He put his pipe in his mouth and began puffing away.
