leaflet has a better rss experience than bluesky. for that matter, how many people even know bluesky lets you follow accounts via rss? i'm guessing it's not a lot leaflet wins!

i.e. would the 99+ "🫡" replies on the RIP cohost post have happened if that post were on leaflet? maybe i'd be making a tradeoff but maybe it's a worthwhile tradeoff for the creativity the leaflet editor encourages

I guess the second thing on my mind is whether Leaflet posts would capture the serendipity of seeing a daily knowledge on the bluesky timeline, immediately getting the message, and being able to share it to others who will also immediately get it

Wondering if Leaflet would be a better fit for this format. A decent amount of knowledges fit within one tweet but notably not all of them. It'd be on the shorter side compared to most Leaflet publications but I'm kinda thinking I could make this little microblog better if I switched. Thoughts?

september 11th, 2025: 24 years ago on this day, a fierce argument erupted on the Wikipedia page for sexual intercourse.

Talk: Sexual intercourse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YIKES! I came here from the Prostitution page - surely we have to qualify the 'for reproduction' part of the statement if it's linked to prostitution! And what about all those - ahem - other activities. Not to mention homosexuality. If we keep this definition the way it is, prostitution should link to something else!

Seems to serve perfectly fine for that at least, although it DOES need some more content (notably homesexual intercourse). Feel free to add! :-) (oh, and by the way, it's dry and factual on purpose, in order to avoid bias)---Anders Törlind

Well, it's exactly that kind of attitude that had some people wondering what Bill Cllinton actually MEANT by sexual contact! --MichaelTinkler

I'm sorry that i have offended you, although i know not what i have done. Please accept my aplogies. --Anders Törlind
