Unpopular opinion: Paradox taking Cities Skylines 2 away from Colossal Order says more about Paradox's management behaviour in the last few years than it does about CO. (Yes, CO likely got horribly overwhelmed. Isn't that one of the things a publisher is supposed to help with?) *cough*Life By You

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Mogwai update: renal failure not fully stabilised yet, but we haven't needed IV-rescue in 5 weeks. Appetite slowly recovering but daily injections @ vet and multiple other meds still needed - basically round the clock care (esp with force-feeding small amts every 90 minutes). But: still alive 👍

Week 4 of the battle to stabilise Mogwai's renal failure. I won't bore folks with the details (which are many & have involved tiny slivers of hope in a sea of exhaustion for everyone (mostly her)), but if you have any vibes to spare please send them into the aether. We're all pretty tired & low.
