Adam LipkinYes, Goblin Mode is word of the year per the OED, but Goblin Mean and Goblin Median are also worth paying attention to.
I don't have a Soundcloud, but if the birdsite tradition of offering up a link on a oft-boosted post applies here, I've got some loved ones who are dealing with financial hardships thanks to some awful medical stuff: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-matt-and-meaghan-recover

@tsalmoth Clout chasing is generally frowned upon but stuff like this is different
Jeremy Kahn@tsalmoth as a professional metrics and insights goblin, i endorse this message
Elio Campitelli@tsalmoth It's also important to study the whole Goblin distribution and not just the central value.
James Grimmelmann@tsalmoth @design_law Nah, they’re not as common.
Grandma Bates@tsalmoth I always stress the five point goblin summary to my students as well as how best to construct and annotate the corresponding goblin plots.
EwanTooting@tsalmoth It's a cherished point of my own aspiring social media scholarship that it's worth learning maths these days just to get the maths jokes. My tone may seem frivolous but I'm very serious about my diffuse lifelong learning goals for this exact reason first of all among the many others
Dr. Angus Andrea Grieve-Smith@tsalmoth Goblin Median: not quite as evil as a Devil Strip
narF 🎲@tsalmoth @boisdevache Mean goblins. Median goblins.

'Goblin mode' chosen as Oxford word of the year for 2022
As you read this, look around. Are you still in bed? Are there piles of clothes and takeout food boxes strewn across the floor? Do you have chip crumbs on your sheets? Have you broken your self-care routine more times than you can count? Do you not even care? If so, you might already be in "goblin mode" -- chosen by the public as the 2022 Oxford word of the year.

“According to Oxford University Press (OUP), publishers behind the Oxford English Dictionary, the slang term refers to a type of behavior which is “unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations” – traits that may have become familiar to many during lockdown.”
Naga@tsalmoth Pretty sure goblin tendencies are right skewed.
Robbo@tsalmoth Goblin mode is just a popularity contest. Goblin median is for fence sitters. And the goblin mean? Well, the goblin mean just tries to satisfy everyone.
Jennifreddy Glove Hewitt@tsalmoth Goblin always mean >:(
