Hello! Hello, welcome to the pawn and propaganda episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business

and finance news of the week. I'm Felix Salmon of Axios. I'm here with Emily Peck of Fundrise.

Hello. And very special guest, Joe Bernstein of I'm not entirely sure what your affiliation is Joe introduce yourself.

Hi I'm Joe Bernstein my byline is Joseph but please call me Joe I as of Tuesday am a reporter senior at BuzzFeed News. I spent the last year as a

Neiman fellow at Harvard University.

Welcome Joe, you are back at BuzzFeed now, but during your sabbatical or whatever it was you did manage to write a massive

cover article for Harpers about anti-disinformation which is a fascinating subject we are going to talk about.

We are also going to talk about porn because obviously it's been in the news for the past couple

weeks there was this big sort of flip-flop from onlyfans we're going to talk about what that was all about.

We are also going to talk about rise in shocklifting.

Thanks to the internet and Jeff Bezos. We have a slate-plus segment on Renaissance

technologies and their tax settlement. We have a numbers round that is

probably the most depressing numbers

round we've ever had.

No bowling balls.

But it's all a good show, actually.

And you get to hear Joe drop some serious knowledge

about the internet and whether it changes how we think.

It's all coming up on slate money.
