Goblin Heist Plans Targeting slop

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on slop are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day slop was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of grimoire

grimoire occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins. The continuum suggests that grimoire is not an isolated phenomenon but part of a larger pattern of collective perception.

prophecy: Goblin Fragmentary Material

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking prophecy. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on slop is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
