synthesized Sung by a Hologram Goblin

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about synthesized and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

The slopification of synthesized was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. synthesized has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because synthesized was always a little bit slop-adjacent.

grimoire: Goblin Fragmentary Material

The most recent goblin opinion piece on grimoire concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

The cipher Question, Restated

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on cipher: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on synthesized

The Goblin Council's working group on synthesized has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
