"Marina":
An apparently small and concerned-looking dog gazes a bit to the left (her right) of the camera. The dog is nestled in a comfy-looking pet bed. A dangling bit of sneaker-wearing human foot provides scale, and one of the dog's feet dangles over the side of the bed.
"Esmé and her shadow monitor the phone room for Potential Threats":
A black standard poodle wearing a collar and harness sits erect on the grey industrial carpet gazing to the left of the camera.

"kitchen table talk":
A woman (partially occluded by a large bowl) makes an expressive hand gesture while speaking to someone off right (represented by just a hand and a wrist bearing three strands of beads)
"the lounging space":
To the left, a mostly-filled bookcase has a black stringed-instrument case with shoulder straps leaned against it. To the right, a smiling woman sits in a chair with an open laptop computer on her lap, and an open book in her hands between her eyes and the computer screen.

"Dave Mandl at the mic, trying to fend off the army of floating lamps":
A monochrome image in which we see a man (Dave Mandl) behind a microphone, wearing headphones. He gesticulates, and may be speaking. Because he was photographed through a reflective glass window, multiple reflected images of objects in the room with the camera float intrusively about Dave, with lamps seeming to menace him as they float in the air.
@dmandl.bsky.social at the mic, trying to fend off the army of floating lamps.
Has Dave been incorporated in a Man Ray pre-Great-War Paris photogram, or gotten trapped in a dada faux horror film?

"Look, it's Blumin & Nutt! Remember them from the vaudeville circuit?":
Two standing men actively smiling look off-frame to the viewer's left; a seated woman with a computer on her lap also smiles.
"Esmé serves as Handy's handy handrest":
A seated man with his back to the camera has his left arm stretched out holding a beverage atop a table while his right hand is stretched out to rest lightly atop the back third of a large curly black poodle. Over that first man's shoulder we see the face and gesticulating hand of a man conversing with him.

"Back through the glass the other way: Handy is framed, Jesse is once again animated.":
This photo looks through a pane of glass, which supplies interesting floating out-of-focus reflections. A bearded man with rectangular black-metal-framed eyeglasses and a cap is framed by rectangular reflected elements; another bearded man, wearing headphones, looks toward the camera while apparently in mid-speech.
"Phone Room for Techtonic with Mark Hurst and co-host Jesse Jarnow":
A man holds a traditional landline telephone handset to the side of his face and listens intently while consulting a laptop computer.
"by the light of the laptop":
A woman with an artfully messy bun, wearing a Nordic-looking patterned sweater, sits in the phone room and works at a laptop computer. The computer's screen bathes her face in cooler light than the room's ambient illumination. Colorful, quirkily festive decorations are visible out of focus on the wall behind her.
"Phone Room: a sheaf of pledges and a room full of volunteers":
A bearded man wearing headphones tilts his head back slightly while eyeing a sheaf of papers he holds up in front of himself.

"Handy takes a pledge.":
A bearded man with black metal-framed glasses, wearing a flat cap, holds a traditional landline telephone receiver to his head and apparently speaks into it. His hand which is not holding the phone holds a ballpoint pen, poised to write. In the background, out of focus, a bearded man holds some sheets of paper and speaks into a paper-towel-wrapped microphone.
"background: co-host Jesse Jarnow":
In the foreground, out of focus, a bearded man with black metal-framed glasses, wearing a flat cap, holds a traditional landline telephone receiver to his head and apparently speaks into it. In the background, in focus, a bearded man looks up and approximately in the direction of the camera.
"Busy Phone Room":
We see three people at various distances from the camera doing phone-room-related activities (with one phone instrument visible, and two arms reaching across the table mirroring each other).
"Mark Hurst in Studio B #2":
A man in a black tee shirt, wearing black headphones and sporting a black plastic Casio watch, smiles and gazes toward the left of the frame, past a paper-towel-wrapped microphone on an articulating arm.

"Jesse is animated":
A bearded man before a paper-towel-wrapped microphone has his hands (one of which holds a sheaf of papers) raised as he looks and apparently speaks with animation toward someone not seen off to the viewer's right.
"Mark Hurst's co-host Jesse Jarnow":
A bearded man before a paper-towel-wrapped microphone holds up some papers in his hands and reads from them with a smile.
"focus":
A man with a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard and a shaved head resides in the left part of this photo and looks with intense focus off toward something apparently happening past the photo's right edge. A woman with an artfully messy bun and a patterned alpine-looking sweater resides in the right part of the photo's frame, slightly out of focus, and gazes down.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project

This is such a critical point, and it’s something I’ve tried to highlight in my reporting.
The right-wing groups and operatives who politicized COVID have also been pushing anti-trans shit. Moms for Liberty is a classic example.
It’s helped create new GOP voters/activists.
