I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed my life a tiny bit more before I knew what this was 🤣 but truly love an honest review! A very very unfortunate coincidence... Lol

Payton Barnwell @payton.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

I certainly don't think that's the case from the illustrator but I'll pass the feedback on! Appreciate the call-out and helpful thoughts (will take your word for it so I don't have to Google it either lol)!

Payton Barnwell @payton.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Would you mind DMing/emailing me? I can make some guesses obviously for what you see that I don't, but I really want to get the feedback to the illustrator too! Also support@broadside.app works too if you're open to it!

Payton Barnwell @payton.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Hey! Replying from my personal account -- I made Broadside. We hired a professional political cartoon artist for this graphic (although AI art is typically in our emails!) and honestly I really have to stretch my brain to see what could NSFW about it - I do really appreciate the feedback!

Payton Barnwell @payton.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Are you sick of my Broadside posts yet? Haha I am SO passionate about making a tool that is *actually* for the people at any step in their political journey, but want to ensure that this helps people who already do civic work ASAP, too 😊 If you'd like a longer trial of Pro Broadside too, DM me!

Bluesky, friends!! I'm looking to connect with someone who has gotten a bill passed by Congress/at state level 📜🔍 Politician or general advocate! I'm making a tool that *should* help with civic participation (@broadsideapp.bsky.social) & can obvi use Google, but I want to know the REAL issues.

I funded this myself because I needed it, but as I collected this data, it was clear that we ALL need it! Congress makes the legislature available, but I wouldn't call their API accessible. It's 2025, I'll change it if it no one else will!

Payton Barnwell @payton.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

@broadsideapp.bsky.social is live and I can't wait to hear what people think! I made Broadside because the people need an easy way to hold our representatives accountable, understand policy, and tell their friends/family about it. This is just the beginning! Check it out: use.broadside.app

I think you'd like what I am building with @broadsideapp.bsky.social! It's this! We just launched v1 last week which is congressional bill summary and tracking but that is just the start. Would love to know what you think!

Hey @darrigomelanie.bsky.social! I am building and self funding Broadside to do just this ☺️ Would be thrilled to give you a sneak peek into the next steps to see how I can level it up even more given your experience. Let me know if you're open to a virtual coffee chat!

OMG. Last night's lunar eclipse -- as seen from the Moon! The Blue Ghost lander got this shot. The Sun is overexposed, but in the reflection you can see it's almost fully eclipsed by the Earth. 🧪🔭 fireflyspace.com/news/blue-gh...

I've heard plenty of people say that kids today *just want to be influencers* or YouTubers. Funny enough, that NOW translates to: "I want to build a massive cult-like following so I can skip the whole merit thing everyone wants and jump straight to the top of the US government!" 🤪

All websites that depend on NOAA data should display something like this. earth.nullschool.net

Weather and climate data shown on this website and countless others are at risk.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the U.S. agency responsible for global weather forecasting, hurricane prediction, ocean observation, and many other services vital to public safety. Its satellites, supercomputers, and research teams provide essential data that help us understand our planet and protect lives.

On February 27, the new U.S. administration initiated mass firings at NOAA. These actions are unethical and deeply disruptive to the talented scientists and engineers who dedicate themselves to the public good. The firings, along with expected budget cuts, have serious implications for the availability and quality of weather forecasts produced by the United States. They must be reversed immediately.

Much of the data on this website is downloaded directly from NOAA's servers. In this environment of uncertainty, access could be disrupted at any time. While I'll strive to keep all features on this website functional and switch to alternative data sources if necessary, some datasets have no substitute if they go offline.

If this concerns you, speak up. Share on social media. And if you're in the U.S., contact your representatives.

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
