Metal Mark 🇺🇸

Today the fatigue really hit. It’s been hard to sleep. Monday was a huge strain on body and mind - Trying to calm him down and provide comfort plus all the interactions and activities to get his hospice lined up. Tuesday morning I found him cold and gone and had to have more 1/5

@bob_six6six @RpsAgainstTrump Yep and they’ll send our kids off as cannon / drone fodder

@MarkMantis @RpsAgainstTrump Total control is what they are after. Mind and soul. They prey on weakness, vulnerabilities, and ignorance. We all pay for their wealth accumulation. Grifters! Every fucking one of them need to wear patches like NASCAR!

Tonight, 23 years ago: the Iraq War begins. President George W. Bush: “American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from grave danger.”

@interiortherapy Hey thanks! 🙏 This one was quiet for some reason - another algo shift apparently 🤪

@MarkMantis done ✅

Jessi is fun - give her a follow and a repost plz 🫶🏼

This is a risk - but I’m told especially so - if the person has organ failure already. (Dad was in end stage renal failure) my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptom…

Here is why you DO NOT want to wait until the last minute to start HOSPICE. This suffering is excruciating to watch - do not put yourself or family members through it if you can avoid it. - Link in comments -

Update: called quite a few people, giving thanks or criticism where deserved, notifications, making appts etc… Washed the Camaro just to do something physical / plus it badly needed it. Melted rubber all over still from last track event… Did my laundry, washed the dishes. Gonna wash up, pick up Chinese and head to the fiancée’s place around 8. Honoring the process but I got to keep achieving… fall down once, get up twice, as dad said all the time.

I did it. Got out of bed and started the chores. I did feed the dog - but she needs her meds and a vet appt. That’s next. Got a pizza on the way - making some coffee. Time to get to work! 😬 💪 😮‍💨 🫶🏼

@berniebrobetsy “Liberators” again - here we go! 😖

@MarkMantis 🎯

LEARN YOUR FUCKING LESSON, AMERICA. DAMN!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@peterttodd @1zzyzyx1 @smalls2672 Oh man people do everything but bow and worship while we get poorer and they get richer. Absolutely.👍

@MarkMantis @1zzyzyx1 @smalls2672 Didn’t we give them hundreds of millions in subsidies and tax breaks because they were the “job creators”? It’s time to claw that all back!

The real great replacement theory.

@ABC What? No way man! This place is the most uplifting place you could possibly spend time! I kid… I kid… Super glad I grew up when I did and spent all my time outdoors with no cell phone

Heavy social media use contributes to a stark decline in well-being among young people, according to the World Happiness Report 2026. The annual report also found that Finland is the happiest land in the world for the ninth year in a row. abcnews.link/YOej5vm

@EamonWilson6 Fair point. Some men are more feminine than others, some women more masculine than others etc… it can be complex. Subjective I guess 🤷‍♂️

@MarkMantis Are male/female the same as masculine/feminine? I’ve thought of them as related but distinct.

Been thinking as a Christian guy: churches push vulnerability & openness as discipleship essentials (bearing burdens, confessing sins—which is good). But we also need self-control, restraint, & discernment. The tilt toward one way of relating feels unbalanced—almost like favouring a more 'feminine' style—and it shortchanges men & holistic maturity. Men are even chastised by some for not being open enough, despite the real reasons men have for restraint. Scripture holds both in tension. Thoughts?

@HustleBitch_ @Valderdi I’m a guitarist by the way - so I have empathy but come on - you got to protect stuff better than that. Shipping it would’ve been the ticket

@HustleBitch_ @Valderdi That’s not a “nearly indestructible” case… obviously

🚨 UNITED DESTROYED THIS MAN’S 1962 GIBSON GUITAR — THEN SAID “NOT COVERED” AND WALKED AWAY He picks his case up from baggage claim and opens it. His 1962 Gibson J-45, a vintage guitar worth thousands, is completely wrecked. Cracked body. Scraped finish. The kind of damage you only get from being thrown around. He says it was inside a “nearly indestructible” top of the line Calton hardshell case. So he calls United. Their response? “We don’t cover instruments.” No compensation. No accountability. Nothing. Now this video is blowing up again as new clips show baggage handlers literally throwing guitar cases. So this isn’t a one-off. It’s the same damage and the same excuse. If they can just say “not covered”… what’s actually stopping this from happening every day? If this was YOUR guitar… what would you do?

@elonmusk Dumbest timeline…

Cute 🥰

@kajobella6 Thanks so much 💙

@MarkMantis Wishing you peace .

@starshine731 Ugh. Stomach issues are the worst, affect EVERYTHING… Mine’s bad too but just a passing thing. Hoping for the best for you and that you get GOOD answers 💙

Just about 3pm here and I'm getting ready to have breakfast finally. My whole day is screwed up. I was up sick with my stomach most of the night. Can't wait to see this new stomach doctor on Monday. I'm really praying he can figure out what's causing me to be so sick for so long. On the one hand I'm afraid to find out because I think it's a lot more serious than originally thought, but on the other hand, at least I'll have some answers finally and maybe can get some treatment and relief. I've never been this sick in my whole life for this length of time. Not trying to complain, just venting.... talking to myself really. Don't know what else to do. 🤷

@bluebirdpoopies @theeyeshallsee YES. Rebuilding is a beast. I try to remember to always help with those when I see them… but I’ve not asked how it happened. Hope we get some answers. 💙

@MarkMantis @theeyeshallsee It is pretty common to see people comment with a new account about having their account hacked. I am sure its an embarrassing admission but it could go a long way to help others.

IF you had an account hacked on this platform would you mind sharing your story so other people know specifically what to look out for?

Got the dog straight - appt tomorrow. Forgot coffee! Making now. Pizza was disappointing but it usually is if it’s delivered, right? Some crappy chain bullshit…
