The covid amnesia shell game happened DESPITE THE DATA, in part bc we never had a reckoning or real memorialization
The *moment* we replace this regime, they will memory-hole everything they did. If we don't keep clear records and then make them into public memory, they'll get away with it.

This is amazing...
Dr Ioannidis (9 April 2020): "I would say that COVID-19 will result in fewer than 40,000 deaths this season in the USA."
Dr Howard: "The USA reached 40,000 COVID deaths the next week."

As part of my efforts to combat the COVID Amnesia Project, let's accurately remember what 3 influential laptop class doctors from Stanford said 6 years ago as COVID overflowed hospitals and morgues.

This is all much more complicated than just memorialization.
Using visions and AI to assert *new* information about a dead person—to give them new words and opinions—is much closer to a world where the dead are never really dead.

On June 1, thousands of Ukrainians gathered to celebrate the birthday of fallen military medic and memorialization activist, Iryna ‘Cheka’ Tsybukh.
Promoting the values she cared for in life, “Cheka fest” is a striking example of the new ways Ukrainians are honoring those killed in Russia’s war.

Memorialization requires a connection, a shared empathy, even among total strangers. The obscenely wealthy necessarily forgo such connections; so the rest of us forgo memorializing them.

5. Even drawn material that violates 18 USC §1466A on grounds of meeting the legal definition of "obscenity" is not CSAM. CSAM only refers to the memorialization of an actual act of child sexual abuse.

In the midst of the CDU campaign to say the Linke outside the bounds of democracy due to antisemitism, it was a strategic error for members of the CDU to make the international news by working with the far right to ban the memorialization of victims of Nazism in Heidenau. bsky.app/profile/cnn....
There has been outrage after a small town in eastern Germany banned the installation of new Holocaust memorial plaques that mark the last known residence or workplace of Jews and other victims of Nazi persecution. https://cnn.it/4rvLl0O

"Child sexual abuse material" is a lot more accurate, and more appropriately describes what it is: the memorialization of an act of sexual violence against a child.

They sent me my certificate today.

One of the instructors closed out the class with "you've stretched me in ways I didn't know I could stretch" and I'm so glad I remembered my camera was on.
I am in a class on Teams all week and I have to drive into the office and be on camera so I'm wearing pants but they're comfortable pants

I hope and believe that it's like David Vitter skipping a war dead memorialization vote to go see hookers: it's not just cartoonishly immoral, it's evocative. it's a lurid story of moral rot contained in one sentence, not just a gross fact about a senator.

The term CSAM only refers, by definition, to a memorialization of an actual act of child sex abuse committed against an actual, identifiable minor. The definition is 18 USC §2256(8).

Seriously, the vigilantes are one of the biggest roadblocks in actually addressing the actual fucking problem, which is the sexual abuse of children and the memorialization thereof.

In some courts it is actually backward. The oral pronouncement controls and the written order is merely a memorialization.
This is gibberish.
Karoline Leavitt claims that a judge's verbal order doesn't matter as much as a written order.
"Well, there's actually questions about whether a verbal order carries the same weight as a legal order -- as a written order. Our lawyers are determined to ask and answer those questions in court."

CSAM, "child sex abuse material", is inherently and definitionally the visual memorialization or recording of an act of child sex abuse. It's in the name. Material that does not include a) a child victim and b) an act of child sex abuse is not CSAM.

Part of my book on backlash politics since Reconstruction focuses on the shoring up of Jim Crow in the early 20th century through a combination of Confederate memorialization and the demonization of Reconstruction, and the founding of the Alfalfa Club in 1913 fits right in to that timeline.

The other day, I was googling articles about how Russia’s WWII memorialization led it down a particular path over time.
Mindlessly clicked on one article, started to read…
… Realized I was the goddamn author.

And yes, as the article above notes, there's a lot to criticize in European Holocaust memorialization. But traveling in Europe as a historian—and specifically as a historian of the American civil rights struggle—the baseline tonal difference is mind-bending.
