Fuck Roger, that’s rough. I’m sorry.

Worse things have happened at sea. I'll be fine for at least another 10 years, and during that ten years I will be a walking mass of altered chemistry and horrible glee. I have decided to stop worrying about the future because it has sort of arrived.

I am in fact the face of the 21st century, and if you see me coming, you should run.

Time for those damn transhumanists to follow through on their promises to give all of us biomech bodies.

It's hard to describe how much I hate transhumanists. They are the libertarians of science, only dumber. For every geek thinking up new extreme body modifications that serve no actual purpose, there are five Rachel Haywires bilking the gullible. Most of them have a hard core belief that they will benefit from this sort of shit because they support it, the same way libertarians think if they just believe hard enough, they will one day be admitted to The Club.

They are all worthless, and we will one day march on their stupid, entitled bones. Well, you will march. I will ride my Captain Pike wheelchair thing, blinking "YES" every time I get a wheel on one of their pelvises.
