People are freaking liars!”

Here is the alt text for tA selfie of two people in the foreground, both wearing light-colored t-shirts with a circular logo featuring gears and a red star. The person on the left has short, graying hair with streaks of color and glasses resting on their head, while the person on the right has shoulder-length dark hair. They are smiling at the camera. Behind them, a large audience of diverse individuals is seated in rows of chairs, many of them smiling, waving, or making gestures towards the camera. Some attendees are wearing lanyards with badges. The room has a modern conference setting with a neutral-colored carpet and bright lighting. Two large screens displaying a presentation slide are visible in front of the speakers.
