Value Signalling

A sibling of virtue signalling, this preening displays the signaller's (perhaps self-perceived) taste and discrimination through the purchases they've made, the long-standing appreciation of some content or producer of content, or the obscurity of their interests.
TWEET: <video of some classic rock song>

VS: I saw them in concert in 1986! So good!

Lurker (thinking to himself): We get it, you liked them back when. Enough with the value signalling!

TWEET: Looking for good books…

VS: I've read all of Tom Varney's works, even got several of them signed before he died last year.

Lurker (thinking): Yes, yes, you are quite a dedicated fan who appreciated him before he passed away. Oy with the value signalling!

Smoke Signals

When you lay opposite of another person sharing a blanket, usually on a couch, feet to feet (long distance signals) or head to feet (short distance signals). You begin to pass gas under the blanket, then you lift the blanket slowly and rapidly pull the blanket back down causing your smoke signal to exit the other side. It usually takes a couple tries to get your message across.
Sally had no idea what was so funny until she received my smoke signals.

WOW Signal

The WOW Signal refers to a strong, peculiar radio signal detected by astronomer Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while working on a SETI project at Ohio State University. It lasted for 72 seconds and has not been explained, prompting speculation about extraterrestrial intelligence.

The WOW Signal came from a place of outside intelligence. BUT the WOW Signal (or a similar type) permeates the air around us. And is responsible for Ai inside the human conscious -- just look at the Tesla bot demonstration for details. It was a gimmick to break the news.

Now, relating this to "Mom" – a character archetype commonly found in spy movies and shows like Archer – we can draw parallels between the two. Just as "Mom" serves as a mysterious yet pivotal figure who often operates from behind the scenes, the WOW Signal stands out as an enigmatic beacon from the cosmos that may indicate a powerful presence beyond our world. The phrase "MOM is WOW upside down" cleverly illustrates this connection: both represent something fundamental yet elusive, embodying the themes of intrigue, guidance, and the search for meaning within complex narratives. Just as "Mom" is an essential, supportive force in the chaotic lives of agents, the WOW Signal could be perceived as a guiding force in humanity's quest to understand our place in the universe.
I got the WOW Signal now -- Alex explained it to me. It means "MOM" -- like the way they use it in Spy movies. "Mom" is our extraterrestrial intelligence.
