The reduction of the bloated explosions continues in the Marvel Universe - and from my perspective - that is good.
Plus Ryan and Hugh.
Plus ‘Wick like’ choreography and it’s not that they are breaking the 4th wall - it’s more ‘what wall’?
Oh - and it’s Deadpool.

I think when you struggle, then a goal can become just commercial issues. I understand – I mean, if you’re losing lots of money, you’d like to stop losing lots of money. The problem there is it means you focus on money, and you’re normally losing money because the products aren’t right. And from ‘92 to ‘97, it was a very, very difficult season. One that I am so grateful for – but I still get the shivers sometimes.

This really resonated - and if you read some of the stuff I read - it will ring bells, because it is like life;

I also liked Gruber’s extented thought;

Microsoft now talks about Teams being their focus, showing that even today they haven’t realized what made Skype a cultural, consumer force. Microsoft Teams is a terrible product – and I dread using it. In simplest terms, Teams is a perfect encapsulation of a bureaucratic, archaic, and outdated 50-year-old company that is trying to reinvent itself as an AI leader.

It single-handedly destroyed the long-distance calling business. Most young people today don’t remember, but long-distance calls used to cost a lot of money. Especially for immigrants, calling home used to cost a fortune. Skype made it free.

💬 Om Malik

In the early days of podcasting, seemingly every show used Skype because it was so much better than anything else. And it was free! It felt like the future. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that if not for Skype, podcasting would’ve been set back several years.

💬 John Gruber

Sharing these - and Om nailed it in that second quote.

Especially for immigrants, calling home used to cost a fortune. Skype made it free.

I was one of those immigrants calling home.

SAD.
