#casettes — Public Fediverse posts

I loved this #film, Perfect Days, depicting the especially ordinary Hirayama as he cleans Tokyo's extraordinary public toilets by day, and reads classic Western #literature by night. He also listens to #casettes and takes aimless photos of tree canopies.

The film inspired me to up-notch my appreciation of ordinariness, and caused me to wonder why I am so obsessed with achieving great things.

Have you seen it?

Why People Quit Streaming And Go Back Into Cassettes.

Many folks are sick of streaming. They’re sick of giant corporations, algorithmic playlists, and an internet infested with AI slop. Artists are tired of tech platforms that pay them virtually nothing, owned by degenerate billionaires that see all human creativity as interchangeable aesthetic wallpaper, valued only for its ability to make numbers go up.
