This Counts as Research! (@deadmilkmen.bsky.social) Vol. 11: DAVE BLOOD ON THE NEWS, 1999 In April 1999, Dave Blood was among the last Americans evacuated as NATO's bombs rained on Novi Sad. He went to the media and did not hold back. Here are three exclusive clips of those appearances. #daveblood
This Counts as Research! (The Dead Milkmen) Vol. 11: DAVE BLOOD ON THE NEWS, 1999
For much of 2025, I was deep in the throes of archival research and interviews with/about the Dead Milkmen for my (aptly titled) book The Dead Milkmen, which came out THIS WEEK on J-Card Press (order here). With any book project, especially on such an eclectic and long-running band, there were many stories and artifacts that, for various reasons, slid into the margins or I needed to cut for space.

A small business just got sued for using a photo they probably thought was fine to use — and it's the kind of thing that happens more often than most people realize. Professional photography is copyrighted the moment the shutter clicks.
Wait...what if we got him to pray FOR: cancer racism inequality #Cure
The orange felon corruptly interfered in the World Cup in order to pretend to help the USA team and Belgium savagely defeated them 4 to 1. His shitty streak continues, everything he touches dies.
If I forgot anyone, please know I'll catch you the next time! Sending positive vibes out to everyone so that we may know the next right thing to do. And when we miss, may we humble ourselves enough to correct mistakes. Much love everyone!💙
The entirety of people using this platform would post. Then sneak to X and post it there. On Facebook. Spray paint it on police cars.
Well?
Everyone, everyone, everyone in DC Dems and Repubs alike get paid to participate in the grift.
WTF is wrong with the #GOP, are they all thieves as well? How can they let this go on. a 100 Billion Dollar War, a Billion Dollar ballroom, a free plane bribe from Qatar, Turning the WH into a trailer park, An attempt to pocket 1.776 Billion to pay off his buddies. Is everyone raking it in Gents?
University published a paper shows that attention spans haven’t collapsed — the environment has. My generation in particular seems to be assaulted by constant barrage of sensory input. Go ski. Go play soccer. Go sit somewhere.
I was young the first time the news disturbed me and how fortunate for me my great-grandmother was alive. "Oh Allie, I am so sorry. None of this is new. Your parents think they discovered injustice. [she cackled] Hardship and cruelty are constants best combated, not by outrage, but love."
🚨Serial Killer Denies Supporting Trump, Confesses Openly to Murders Rex Heurmann admits killings, gives full confession, but broke down in court begging the Judge not refer to him as Trump supporter. “I am not a monster!” Heurmann shrieked in denial he ever supported Trump or MAGA.
The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz
‘The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in ordinary things, pets on the bed, coffee in the garden, birds in the morning, the wind through the trees, a clean house, shared food, warm hus and the sky changing above. So much of life's beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here’
I don’t hate America, I fucking hate Donald Trump. There’s a huge difference
His name may not be on the Kennedy Center anymore, but it's still in the Epstein Files over 38,000 times.
Friends, they finally tracked me down. Never bought the tapes I was contractually bound to purchase. Columbia House secured the perimeter around my house, tear gas, SWAT, helicopters. They'll never take me alive. #Capitalism #Greed #Music #Consumerism #Debt

I had a dream in which trash was falling from all buildings and piling up in the streets rather than toted away and hidden. I have never looked at the world the same way since.
NEW DNI Tulsi Gabbard reportedly expected to release information related to the CIA’s MKUltra mind-control program. Follow for more. Will update when information is available. Tracking in real time.
The Epstein files are now 181 days past the congressional deadline established by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law required these records be released. 181 days later, millions of pages remain withheld. Release the remaining files.
I keep thinking about who gets to decide which parts of history are worthy of remembrance. Over the past several months, Trump’s admin has removed or sought changes to historical exhibits dealing with slavery and civil rights. 🧵
Damn hard to go mow the lawn. Damn hard to make a sandwich. Choose your hard.🥪🥪🥪
These words would matter more if: You hadn’t fucked over the people of Flint & pretended - to their faces - to drink their lead laden water. You hadn’t failed to prosecute W et al for war crimes. You hadn’t failed to prosecute Wall St crooks & instead bailed em out. And so on. Papa don’t preach.
Obama: When we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing our collective voices matter, we give away our power. We open the door to those who see some people as more equal than others, who see government as a way to punish enemies. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails

Kurt, why are you in such a bad mood? Well, did ya see the microplastic‑in‑rainfall study? We’ve basically turned the f-ing water cycle into a recycling program for trash we never bothered to manage. Kurt, why do you drink so much? Well, did ya see the microplastic‑in‑rainfall study? We’ve...
