Posthuman Goblins Reflect on static

A peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Goblin Studies (impact factor: 0.2, but what isn't) has finally shed light on static.

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.
