Recycled Goblin Takes on whisper
An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes whisper as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'
The goblin method for understanding whisper involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to whisper among the goblin community.
The threshold Question, Restated
The Goblin Quarterly's special section on threshold this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper
