Memorialization keeps the account around forever, stuck in amber, ready for any future policy changes. Deleting the account allows you to remove their footprint, but only really works if you can export their data first. Which requires their passwords etc.

This approach of ritualistic journeying aligns with the views of memorialization expert Kenneth J Doka who notes that “Grief does not cease with the last funeral or the centering public ritual. Just as grief continues, effective rituals should continue as well, marking cycles and events.” 3/9

The original title of Frieren, Sōsō no Furīren (Frieren at the Funeral) extends an important invitation to readers to perceive the role that ritual plays in the unfolding story, and the extent that Frieren’s journey (the subject of the series) is a ritualistic act of memorialization. #frieren 1/9

Dr. George Keyworth held the first of the 7 Nights of History talks: “Unsung Heroes: Reinventing Kusunoki no Masashige (1294-1336).” He discussed the politics of memorialization and the reimagined legacy of Masashige as part of the invention of the Japanese imperial line by the Meiji Emperor.

Will we honor Trump's pending pardons? For that matter, will we honor him in death?
On both counts, IMO, no.
Resurrecting & invigorating rule of law requires prosecuting those criminally in cahoots with this unabashedly corrupt & murderous regime. On memorialization, see 'corrupt & murderous.'

Yeah, the thing I said that got the poster to block me was that one shouldn't compare German and Dutch memory cultures.
Memorialization of the Roma here is terrible, and Zentralrat President Paul Siegel opposed the concrete column memorial explicitly on the grounds that it didn't include the Roma.

The shift in cadence and tone is important here:
(soft, exclamatory) Fuck!
[Three full beats of silence]
(Frenetic, tumbling, paced and emphasized as written) Alas!poorYorick!IKNEWhim,Horatio!
And the ensuing memorialization crumbles as it builds.

When people in Germany object to the Stolpersteine memorial project and say they want an alternative, it's usually a bad faith way of objecting to any form of memorialization. In Erfurt, however, they did attempt an alternative with mixed results. historyned.blog/2018/11/09/t...
The Memorial Needles of Erfurt: It’s Hard to Please Everyone
In Germany and around the world, the last residence of persecuted Jews and other victims of Nazi terror are marked by small brass bricks called Stolpersteine – Stumbling Stones. There are more than…

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

With Spanish fascists about to hand him over to French nazi collaborators, Walter Benjamin took his own life on 26 Sept 1940. I'd only had the vaguest idea of the circumstances of his death and memorialization when I took the kids to Portbou for a fun beach day in 2014. greg.org/archive/2014...

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.

Yes. RFK was on Joseph McCarthy’s staff. Cohn was McCarthy’s chief counsel. RFK clashed with Cohn & quit McCarthy. Cohn developed a fierce enmity w/Bobby that oozed into JFK & the family. Cohn was tRump’s beloved mentor. His actions against the JFK memorialization are revenge for Cohn.
