static: A Goblin Algorithm

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

Engagement metrics on goblin posts about static follow a power law, as predicted, but the goblins note that the long tail is unusually long, suggesting that static is doing something to the algorithm that the algorithm hasn't told anyone about.
