If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

Thank you, when "virtue signalling" gained currency as a right wing insult back when my kids were young, I laughed bc a lot of parenting consists of 24/7 virtue signalling, as does a functional society.
Doing the right thing is.... good! The signaling reinforces this. Duh.

in general the thing about hardball negotiating is that you should not *start* by signalling that you personally are desperate for a deal. this is "don't be a dumbass" 101 stuff

You can play coy about all this, but his signalling that he's going to pardon or free Ghislaine Maxwell confirms that he thinks it's fine to rape children. There's no pretending here!
It's really hard to convince people that Trump acting like he's gotten away with at least abetting horrendous crimes against children that this is bad when that is what they like about him.

Avanti accused of ‘virtue signalling without virtue’ over wheelchair user art
Campaigners say train image of two wheelchair users does not reflect reality of single wheelchair space in standard class
Campaigners have accused one of the UK’s leading train companies of “virtue signalling without the virtue” after it used images of wheelchair users that they say do not reflect the reality of travelling with a disability.
Baraka Carberry, a digital artist, created a new livery for Avanti West Coast, which provides rail links between London and Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Scotland, that shows “scenes of people, culture, colours and joy”. Titled Together We Roll, the images stretch across all seven carriages of the new Evero train, which the company says reduces carbon compared with the old fleet of trains. Continue reading...

The tough signalling about temporary status/number of renewals is v unlikely to resch the potential asylum seeker (so it is mainly tough signalling to UK voters)
But very few people in Britain would think a review at 18 years of home country safety is as valid or legitimate as at 3-6 years

If we want to talk about that, talk about that. But this empty social-media-ready argument of "do we let X into the tent?" is designed to do only one thing well: get people yelling at each other uselessly, signalling that they're on one side or the other.

1) We do need virtue signalling to render fear to the shameful, since morality didn't do the trick;
2) Speaking of, we need to revive virtues conceptually as good, aspirational things to achieve. Courage and curiosity seem like good candidates.

When MTG says she thinks divisive rhetoric and attack politics are the problem, she's right! When she implies that these issues arise equally from both sides, however, she's signalling her commitment to laundering fascism and vilifying progress.

Cytosolic acetyl-coenzyme A is a signalling metabolite to control mitophagy - Nature
Acetyl-coenzyme A functions as a non-canonical signal to trigger mitophagy, and the acetyl-coenzyme A–NLRX1 axis underlies the KRAS-inhibitor-induced mitophagy response and promotes drug resistance, providing a metabolic mechanism of KRAS inhibitor resistance.
