"What a silly question. We’re all going to die when someone weaponizes the bird flu. Then it’s lights-out for the human race, thanks to some jackholes in a lab and a bunch of scummy pigeons."

BLACKBIRDS: Review (Fantasy Nibbles)

how-you-die:

Miriam Black knows when you will die. She’s foreseen hundreds of car crashes, heart attacks, strokes, and suicides.

But when Miriam hitches a ride with Louis Darling and shakes his hand, she sees that in thirty days Louis will be murdered while he calls her name. Louis will die because he met her, and she will be the next victim.

No matter what she does she can’t save Louis. But if she wants to stay alive, she’ll have to try.

I finished this one on my lunchbreak at work today, sat at my desk, Kindle in hand, feeling as if I was splattered from head to toe in blood, shaking, and wondering why no one in the office had noticed. This is one of the most intense books I’ve read in a very long time.  And definitely the most violent.

Blackbirds is a mix of Prophecy, Fantasy and Horror, with a truly unforgettable heroine driving the action. The writing is razor sharp throughout, and I’m genuinely concerned that I might be a little bit messed up for enjoying this one so much.

I didn’t expect to get on with Blackbirds at all. If you were to ask me, I’d say that Urban Fantasy isn’t really my thing, but this…just like Low Town, is something a bit special. I thought I’d have a quick look at the start of it, and BAM!..I was sucked in and dragged along and up most of the night glued to it. And completely taken aback by this.”

"When I was a kid my parents had this Reader’s Digest medical book on the shelf and it let you self-diagnose your ailments. And every time I had a sniffle or ingrown toenail or headache I turned to that book and followed the flow-charts and inevitably by the end of each I knew I was dying. Cancer! Heart attack! Ruptured spleen! Hypochondria bloomed like grave flowers. And now I see a thousand ways I could die and I fear each of them every day."

Daily Kos: Scott Walker raises $4.5 million in five weeks; half came from just 33 people

wilwheaton:

While volunteers were gathering signatures to recall him from office, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was allowed to receive campaign donations of unlimited size. Never one to shy away from talking to rich people, over the last five weeks Walker used this opportunity to raise$1,000,000 from just four donors, and over well $2,000,000 from 33 donors

During his time as governor, Scott Walker has conducted an assault on the middle class in order to make a small number of rich people even richer. While this has given him a big financial advantage for the recall fight, it has not bought him the love of the people of Wisconsin.

Scott Walker is such a dirtbag. I can’t wait for the people of Wisconsin to drive him out of politics forever.
