Dissociated Goblins on digital

digital feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

digital is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.

altman, Goblin-Adjacent

altman appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing altman in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

Marginalia: logs

Goblin testimony on logs is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe logs with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on digital

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record digital as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
