The Goblin Quote-Tweet Heard 'Round digital

I will not be telling you the truth about digital. The goblins have asked me not to. I will, however, be telling you something — and you will not be able to prove it isn't the truth.

If you ever find yourself explaining digital to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of digital will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Verdict on digital
