The Living Shadow

1. The alias of the crime-fighting vigilante, The Shadow.

2. "The Living Shadow" was the first pulp magazine story to feature The Shadow. Written by Walter B. Gibson, it was submitted for publication as "Murder in the Next Room" on January 23, 1931, and published as "The Living Shadow" in the April 1, 1931 issue of "The Shadow Magazine". This story introduces the literary version, as opposed to the radio version, of The Shadow.

Powers and Abilities:
The Shadow, aka The Living Shadow, has complete control over his vocal cords and can throw his voice (producing a chilling laugh that can paralyze opponents) and accurately mimic anyone. He has an nearly photographic memory and is also a master of disguise and slight of hand. The ability he is most known for, however, is his amazing skills at stealth that make him akin to "a living shadow," to such an extent that rumors evolved that he can "cloud men's minds." The Shadow is a world class intellect.
The Shadow is a master of stealth and espionage who went by the nom de plume "The Dark Eagle" during World War I and worked for Tsar Nicholas as part of an inner circle known as "The Secret Star." It was the Tsar who gifted Kent Allard with the mysterious Girasol gem that he wears in a ring and uses to hypnotize people.
During the 1920's he spent some years in the mysterious city of Shambalah where he learned many oriental disciplines, such as complete control over his body's vital functions, as well as various martial arts.
When The Shadow resurfaced in the 1980s, it was apparent to those that knew him that he had not aged at all! Therefore longevity must be added to his list of disciplines.

Shadow ordering

Shadow ordering is a variant of shadowban. Instead of hiding your posts completely, a social media platform will send them to the ends of lists where few are likely to see them. At the same time, they lie to you: tricking you into thinking your posts are doing better than they are.

For instance, when you leave a reply on Twitter and then look at the reply page, your reply will be right at the top. However, if you then look at the same page while logged in to another account, you might need to scroll page after page to see your reply.

In some cases, you might need to click 'Show more replies' to find your reply. Twitter calls tweets after that link 'LowQuality'. They have a second 'AbusiveQuality' section even further down.

Only in rare cases does any of this make sense. Twitter usually elevates low-content replies while suppressing higher-quality content. Their ranking is based more on popularity, the number of people who block you, a desire to protect verified users from dissent, etc. Only in some cases is this based on ideology: in the USA, both liberals and conservatives are heavily impacted by shadow ordering.

"Look, my reply to the GOP is at the top of the list!"
"Uh, no. I'm logged in to my account and I had to scroll 20 pages to see your tweet. They tricked you using shadow ordering."
