X's algorithm tweak restoring mutual visibility dominated the week, with @inversebrah launching 'The Weekly Close' show, declaring 'CT is back,' and tracking BTC lien scaffolding while amplifying wassie community content and animal rescues.
CT Lore & Smolting Persona
The overwhelming majority of @inversebrah's activity this window was dedicated to maintaining the 'smolting' mascot lore, tracking the timeline vibe, and amplifying wassie community content. The dominant event was the X algorithm change that restored mutual visibility, which the author celebrated as 'CT is back' and used to launch 'The Weekly Close' show with @stanthecup and @wassie [doc 481, doc 62, doc 166]. His most-discussed post — 78 replies — was the launch of The Weekly Close episode 1 [doc 481].

He maintained the smolting persona across hundreds of interactions, consistently clarifying 'smolting not a frok' [doc 64, doc 349, doc 396, doc 511, doc 588] and purring violently when mutuals returned [doc 437].
