I’m deeply honored that Morrissey spoke out on behalf of This Charming Charlie, although not surprised. Morrissey is not a stranger to fair use, and it was my extreme respect for his appropriation of words and images that led to this project in the first place. I’m glad he is able to see the humor in all of this, even if lawyers could not. Hopefully, this example will set a precedent for copyright laws in the future, and encourage others to express themselves and enrich our culture through free speech, parody and social critique.
I really liked the colorful 3-panel square comic I did, so I tried to do another to the same effect. xD It’s not quite as funny though (at least it’s still cute). ^^; Enjoy it anyhow~
We’ve been getting a lot of requests from Firefox users to build an extension to match the ones we offer for Chrome, Opera and Safari. Now, we’re happy to roll out the same great saving features for Firefox.
Like our other browser extensions, when you find an article or video you want to save, just tap or click once to save it to Instapaper. Other convenient features include:
A keyboard shortcut: A Ctrl+shift+S keyboard shortcut to save the article you’re currently viewing.
A right-click menu option: To save the current page–or any link on the current page–we added an “Instapaper” option to the right-click menu.
More Instapaper save buttons: Now you can “Save to Instapaper” directly from Twitter and Hacker News. Alongside each tweet containing a URL or a Hacker News post, you’ll now see an inline Instapaper save button.
Saving directly to folders: Once your save is confirmed, click the folder icon on the save overlay to direct the article right into one of your folders.
Toggle options: The keyboard shortcut and inline saving options can be toggled on/off.
Things used to be. Now they’re not. Anything but us is who we are. Disguising ourselves as secret lovers, we’ve become public enemies. We walk away like strangers in the street. Gone for eternity, we erase one another. No phone calls. No sweet text messages. We are mere specs of particles, floating, unknown to our partners’ existence. So far from where we came. With so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing? Lack of visual empathy equates to the meaning of L.O.V.E. Hatred and attitude tear us entirely. We meet at opposite poles and no longer can we bond like love birds to a song or flowers to a daisy. The air smells of rotten and burned hearts. We have trashed our over cooked love that now accompanies the bin of deceit. Don’t turn around. Continue walking away. Disappear into that darkness that rests upon your gritty shoulders. Let that dark cloud follow you wherever you go. So long ex-lover. Farewell.
