“— To Avoid Funding Gay Marrieds, Catholic Charities Denies Benefits to All Spouses - The Sexist - Washington City PaperThe Archdiocese of Washington has been battling the D.C. government for the right to discriminate against gays and lesbians since D.C.’s same-sex marriage legislation got rolling last year.
One major point of contention: Once gays and lesbians are allowed to marry, the Archdiocese—which employs plenty of locals through Catholic Charities—will be required to provide health benefits to same-sex spouses, an act which it says would fly in the face of the Catholic church’s teachings on homosexuality.
The solution? No spousal benefits for anybody.

Rather than face the prospect of having to share a swimming pool with blacks, the city filled four of the pools with dirt and gave a fifth to the YMCA which, as a private organization, was then free to keep it whites-only. ”— Daily Kos: Bigots Cancel Prom rather than let Lesbian attend (BIG UPDATE!)

“ […] KeyKOS, a highly reliable OS for IBM mainframes […] was developed by some friends of ours in the 1980s, in which you could literally pull the power plug from the wall, and, after plugging it back in, be rebooted and running again — including transparently resuming all the running processes that were killed when you cut the power — in about 8 seconds (this was actually one of their trade show demos).— Habitat Chronicles: Smart people can rationalize anything[…]Some commercial installations of KeyKOS have had processes with running times measured in years, surviving not only power failures and hardware malfunctions, but in some cases actual replacement of the underlying hardware with newer generations of equipment.”
fuck yeah.

“ Einen Monat lang habe ich in der Brötchenhölle ausgehalten. Dabei habe ich fünf Kilo abgenommen. In den ersten Tagen danach bin ich einfach nur froh, es hinter mir zu haben, und habe dennoch gegenüber meinen Kollegen, die ich zurückließ und denen ich mich nicht zu erkennen geben durfte, ein schlechtes Gewissen. Eine Szene, kurz vor meinem Weggang, ist mir seither oft vor Augen: Ein neuer Arbeiter steht in der Halle, allein, verzweifelt, er schreit, weil er sich verbrannt hat. Er hat keine Ahnung, was er tun kann, niemand hilft ihm, auch keiner der Kollegen. Genauso stand ich am ersten Tag in der Halle. Nur dass für mich der Albtraum immer ein absehbares Ende hatte, für ihn nicht. Für ihn währt dieser Albtraum wahrscheinlich noch heute. ”— Arbeitswelt: Unser täglich Brötchen | Leben | ZEIT ONLINE
