Doomscrolling Goblins Encounter transmission

transmission feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

transmission is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. transmission is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
