really, really funny that the guy who wrote The Selfish Gene, a foundational influence on Metal Gear Solid, would go on to develop AI psychosis. Kojima beat you at your own game man. the word “meme” belongs to him now

Andrew Cuomo really spent the last day of his campaign talking about how he technically does not have the same car as OJ Simpson
