Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

Last night I got to help induct The Living End, who I love, into the ARIA Hall of Fame but there were a few other very special artist inducted on the same night. So I’d like to say congratulations to Jenny Morris, Kate Cebrrano, Gurrumul, Spiderbait and of course Vika and Linda. You have all been a huge part of the Australian music scene.
For all Christians who celebrate Ash Wednesday, wishing you a blessed Ash Wednesday and a meaningful start to the Lenten season. May these forty days bring reflection, renewal, and strengthened faith. #AshWednesday
Oh, Donald, you draft-dodging demagogue, strutting onto that stage at Quantico like some tin-pot tyrant auditioning for a bad action flick, flanked by your Fox News yes-man Hegseth, barking about "fat generals" and "woke decay" while our real heroes sit stone-faced, choking down your bile because duty demands it. You drag these brave men and women, admirals and generals who flew in from war zones on your whim, burning taxpayer dollars as a shutdown looms over their paychecks, just so you can rant about turning Chicago into your personal boot camp. "Training grounds" in American cities? That is not leadership; that is a fever dream of fascism, where you sic the military on "the enemy within," code for protesters, immigrants, or anyone who dares disagree with your spray-tanned ego.
You, who hid behind bone spurs while real warriors bled in the deserts you love to bomb for photo ops, now threaten to fire generals "on the spot" if they do not salute your MAGA cult? "If you do not like what I am saying, leave the room, there goes your rank"? That is not a commander-in-chief; that is a con man cornered, purging anyone with a spine who will not echo your lies. Dropping racial slurs into your "motivational" monologue? Classy, Don, real unifying stuff for the forces sworn to defend democracy, not degrade it.
This is not strength; it is sabotage. While threats from abroad grow, you are gutting the Pentagon's soul, banning beards, mandating push-ups, and torching diversity like it is yesterday's trash, because God forbid a soldier look or love like someone who is not straight out of your 1950s fever swamp. Our military is not your private militia for domestic crackdowns or election revenge tours. It is the backbone of a free nation, not your bully pulpit.
Step off that podium, Mr. "Merit-Based" Fraud. The brass did not clap because they know a grifter when they see one. America’s troops deserve a leader who builds them up, not breaks them down to prop up your fragile throne. Resign? The whole country wishes you would. We are done with your circus, time to pack up the red hats and slink back to Mar-a-Lago before you drag us all into the abyss. Semper Fi? More like Semper Fight Back.
