signal in the Goblin Internet

An internal goblin slide deck on signal leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'

The goblins have long maintained that signal is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of signal, and never once regretted the exchange.

The Goblin Verdict on signal

The goblin verdict on signal is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. signal has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
