The presence of death destroys all superstition. We are the children of death and it is death that rescues us from all of life’s deceptions—it is death that calls out to us during life and draws us to itself. At an age when we still don’t understand people’s language, if we pause in the middle of a game, it is to hear the voice of death . . . throughout life, it is death that is pointing at us.

Swan... His past is a mystery, but his work is already a legend. Now he is looking for the new sound of the spheres to inaugurate his own Xanadu, his own Disneyland: the Paradise, the ultimate rock palace. This film is the story of that search, of that sound, of the man who made it, the girl who sang it, and the monster who stole it.

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974) dir. Brian De Palma

we are surrounded by more computing power than we know what to do with, and every five years it is made obsolete by The New Development Wisdom being something like "every app needs to run in its own separate instance of chromium with every possible dependency loaded" or just "we don't want to assume your phone could have less than 6GB ram anymore"

remembering the blogpost that's about benchmarking how well modern websites load on low-end phones common in the global south, but the first half is just digging into how much disdain managers at webdev companies have for poor people and sometimes just anyone who doesn't have an iphone. and this is who dictates what websites look like. wonderful

found the post, the analysis/discussion is the other way round from what I remembered but yeah

It isn't enough to tell us what a man did - you've got to tell us who he was. Wait a minute, what were Kane's last words?
