Hauntological Goblins Mourn whisper

Twitter has been arguing about whisper for three days. The goblins are loving it. Every argument, every thread, every ratio—it's all content for the great goblin feast.

The Goblin Cabal — and yes, there is one, you can stop pretending there isn't — has issued no public statement on whisper. The lack of statement is the statement. Goblin Cabal-watchers have known this for years.

Salvage Notes: infinite

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about infinite. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

Marginalia: diagrams

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of diagrams, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on whisper: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
