Jared issues a moratorium on Baby Yoda memes and then speaks to BuzzFeed News senior tech reporter Ryan Mac about Elon Musk's courtroom success against a defamation lawsuit filed against him by a British diver whom Musk called a "pedo guy." Later, we're joined by the author of the blog The Seventh Degree for a closer look at Jordan B. Peterson's awful new content platform.

This episode was made in collaboration with Did Nothing Wrong, a podcast hosted by Jay McKenzie and Griff Sombke, and features a chat with mis/disinfo researcher and author Mike Rothschild.
