Parody and commenting about something and humor and so forth is protected as fair use even under our horrendously fucked up "intellectual property" system. Now, I think Facebook has the right to block whatever links they want to block on th

Craigslist's UI is fantastic. It's not pretty, but that's about the least important element of web-design. It's very easy for people to understand how things are organized. Cities are organized together, categories are organized together. A
