  • “Pfizer’s new woke face” – Pfizer has weighed in on the upcoming referendum in Australian, urging people to vote ‘Yes’ to the creation of a new advisory body that will speak to Parliament on behalf of the First Peoples, writes Rebekah Barnett in Brownstone.
  • “Natures vaccine” – The value of herd immunity in fighting Covid is indisputable, says Joel Zinberg in City Journal.

  • “Europe is beginning to turn against the prophets of climate alarmism” – Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph says there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future of the planet. But a generation has been brought up being told to expect environmental disaster and it’s taking a toll on their mental health.
  • “The truth about ‘green’ mortgages, the Net Zero product for energy efficient homes” – Big names such as Halifax and Nationwide offer them, but are they a good deal, asks Esther Shaw in the Telegraph.

  • “Britain should get out of the electric vehicle business” – We are not going to be big players in EVs, and there is no point in trying to become one now, says Matthew Lynn in the Spectator.
  • “Net Zero’s artificial food crisis paves the way for ‘future foods’” – Net Zero rules employed by the United Nations, the European Union and domestic political parties across the world are expected to cause the imminent shutdown of high-production farmland, or at least significantly reduce its capacity, says Flat White in the Spectator Australia.

  • “Aussie comedian faces Human Rights Commission over jokes” – YouTube star Isaac Butterfield has been ordered to appear before the Queensland Human Rights Commission after a single complaint was made about his comedy routine, reports Rebel News.
  • “The Left’s disinformation industrial complex” – An editorial from the Washington Examiner takes on disinformation in the wake of the Dunham report, which concluded the story about Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election was a fabrication.
  • “LinkedIn Bans Journalist After Durham Report Posts” – Journalist Ben Sellers has been banned from LinkedIn after he posted a piece saying the New York Times should return its Pulitzer Prize for its reporting on Russian collusion with the Trump campaign in the wake of the Durham report, says Reclaim The Net.
  • “BuzzFeed tells investors they plan to launch identity-based AI-generated content” – BuzzFeed says that using AI will allow the company to “rapidly expand content output and increase audience engagement without adding fixed cost”, reports the Post Millennial.
  • “It’s not about whiteness, it’s about wealth” – Remi Adekoya and Brendan O’Neill discuss the real roots of racial inequality on the Brendan O’Neill Show.
  • “Watching Queen Cleopatra felt like witnessing the death of scholarship” – One of the few things that seems certain about Cleopatra’s early life is that she was a Macedonian Greek, says James Walton in the Spectator. Why then is she being played by a black actress?
  • “The war for your child’s soul” – Why do the woke hate Ron DeSantis? Because he’s making it harder for them to control your kids, writes Brendan O’Neill in Spiked.
  • “Gender ideology can harm trans people, too” – Doctors are misdiagnosing and mistreating patients by ignoring their biological sex, says Charlotte Blease in Spiked.
  • “Bud Light sales crash ‘getting much worse’ in latest week since Dylan Mulvaney fiasco” – The latest industry figures show that Bud Light’s sales slump deepened into May as the fallout from the brand’s engagement with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney continues to hammer Bud Light’s bottom line, says Tyler Durden in Zero Hedge.
  • “Bud Light, Budweiser release camo, Harley Davidson limited edition cans as sales continue to plummet” – Anheuser-Busch will launch camouflage and motorcycle-themed beer can redesigns for Bud Light and Budweiser as the multinational conglomerate reels from the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco, according to the Daily Wire.

  • “Riley Gaines says liberals are supporting her activism to protect women’s sports: ‘Sick of their own party’” – Riley Gaines tells Fox News about the surprising reaction from liberal women over her advocacy for keeping biological men out of women’s sports.
  • “Adidas ‘Pride 2023’ women’s swimsuits appear to be modelled by a man” – Adidas this week launched its ‘Pride 2023’ swimwear collection, advertising bathing suits on its web site in the ‘women’s’ section with the help of a model that appeared to be male, reports the New York Post.
  • “Cambridge Footlights launch ‘sensitivity reading’ service” – The Cambridge Footlights – whose alumni include Peter Cook, Clive James and David Mitchell – is now recruiting for a new “sensitivity reading” service to ensure that “all student comedy” is as “inclusive and welcoming as possible”, says Steerpike in the Spectator. Is this satire? Hard to tell.
  • “A taste of life under the LibDem woke warriors” – As Sir Keir Starmer waits in the wings to tighten the WEF/UN/WHO garrote throttling the British people, it is likely that he will be aided and abetted through a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, says John Ellwood in TCW.
  • “Academia has no future without free speech” – Strong leader in the Telegraph condemning attempts to no-platform Kathleen Stock at the Oxford Union and urging university administrators to show a bit more backbone.
  • “Is NATO really an LGBT Ally?” – Noah Carl in UnHerd takes issue with the NATO General Secretary’s speech on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia claiming NATO is proud to call itself an ‘ally’ of the LGBTQ+ community.
