Its fascinating that the way advertizing and apps work right now is simply how computer viruses, adware, spyware, and all manners of malware has ALWAYS worked. Growing up as a teen in the 2000s there used to be a program called Weatherbug that was pretty much considered unthinkable to ever have installed because of the way it knew your location and essentially EVERY adware, spyware, and antivirus software flagged it for removal immediately. It was considered best practice to never install anything. Never install toolbars, mever install anything without consulting a professional or unless you were ad advanced user. I was trained in Comptia A+ for the windows xp era and the best practice as a repair tech was to never allow the customer to install anything themselves if it could be helped.

And now just. Everything does this. Your fucking calculator wants your location data and business ghouls want it to ve illegal to use a simple adblocker because not advertizing to you hurts their feelings.

And now we have generative AI filling the internet witg slop that can have SEO and more ads slapped on top of it? Google is breaking on purpose so you make more searches?

The viruses have won, everything is malware and everything is a scam. To use commercial tech is to be voluntarily mugged

This episode is one of my favorites

“I have a plan” “NO!” “I haven’t told you yet!”

Autistic!Inuyasha’s main source of sensory overload is his nose rather than his ears.

Smell is not much of a problem in his own time because he’s used to those smells, and they don’t change as rapidly as in modern times where the smells are sudden, unfamiliar and sometimes intense.

A car passing can leave a gasoline smell behind, then someone with strong perfume walks by, someone is painting a sign, a person nearby is chewing minty flavored gum, and there’s fresh tar being laid in the street somewhere, and somebody smoking a cigarette is sidling past, and oh someone is mopping right inside that storefront with bleach......yeah, can you imagine it on top of all the noises and sights?

Inuyasha can deal with that when he has a goal to hyper focus on. But if he spends more than a few hours in modern times and he’s not hyper focused on trying to find Kagome or meeting some other goal, he’s gonna have a bad time because he won’t know how to explain that some smells literally hurt his nose.

He’s not really the the type to have meltdowns, he gets really cranky to where he says things like “get off my case!” and then he runs off to sit alone and stew in a shutdown state until he calms down. It looks like he’s storming off to pout, but he’s in overload and the crankiness is a defense mechanism to push people (and their social pressure) away. Then he’s Tired* and so done with everything.

*Tired with a capital T to mark the autistic Tired, which is a form of exhaustion that comes from the mental effort of withstanding a sensory intensive experience or the drained physical / emotional state that follows a meltdown or shutdown.

Screw this, I’m gonna say this headcanon out loud.

Inuyasha is autistic.

Very much undiagnosed cuz of the time period he lives in.

Social struggles are his biggest problem in the Sengoku Jidai, but the sensory aspects of it are gonna begin to bother him if he spends too long in modern times.

There you go.

Autistic!Inuyasha

I SAID IT.

I’m gonna get killed by the fandom lmao.

can we please shut up about the real origins of Ashkenazim for two seconds because it's really starting to feel like the point of all this is to say we're not really Jewish

Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero

HI GUYS YOU SHOULD GO READ WHISTLE

It's a beautiful graphic novel about trying to be a good person in an impossible situation and the risk of losing ourselves to the necessary evil. The main character is Willow, a sixten years-old jewish girl that talks to much and cares even more, but whose mother is very sick.

Naomi, her mother, used to be the Riddler's best friend when they were younger but she cut him out of their lifes years ago and now, when he offers his help, Willow can't say no. She takes a job running his weekly poker game (the last person to do so was murdered by Killer Crock, just saying) and loses herself in the work, losing sight of who she used to be.

After she too gets attacked by Killer Crock, who is trying to deffend their neighbourhood against Nygma's sabotage and gentrification, she awakens with a scar and an especial conection with dogs that she'll use to fight crime and save her home, even if she's still working for the Riddler to keep her mom alive.

I really liked this comic, guys. The art is beautiful, Willow is nice and genuine but deals with interesting moral conflicts and it's a pretty good superhero story. A lot of times in this kind of novels we see the character get powers and BOOM, that's it, but here the plot start to build towards the finale even before she gets powers and afterwards we see her get used to her new self, decide to become a vigilante, work towards that goal and save the day at the end, not without setting up the new normal for the Whistle. Really, this could be the first chapter of a real series, it's brimming with potential.

I know we are all still on the high of Wayne Family Adventures (me included, I'm one of the suckers that paid to get coins and read the next chapters), but we shouldn't let it overshadow a genuinely good book!
