If you\u2019ve never heard of Moms Against Virtue-Signaling, let me explain. One of the dumber elements of social media is that it allows people to publicly signal their goodness and virtue to others \u2014 without actually doing anything of substance. So you see photo frames around profile photos saying things such as, \u201cMoms Against Racism,\u201d as though they\u2019re standing up against those evil moms who are in favor of racism. It\u2019s meaningless virtue-signaling and it deserves to be mocked, so I made a frame and published it on Facebook\u2019s frame system today. If you go to your own Facebook profile picture and add a frame, then search for Moms Against Virtue-Signaling, you can select it. About a dozen of my friends are using it so far. It\u2019s just fun satire \u2014 at least until Facebook decides it \u201cgoes against our community standards.\u201d Or something. It\u2019s just a fun way of mocking something that deserves to be mocked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It started out as a satirical joke, but some friends liked the idea, so now it\u2019s a real Facebook profile picture frame.
