McCarthy and his horde of jackals. By Mark Sumner for Daily Kos Daily Kos Staff Monday, June 26, 2023 at 1:20:07p MDT PUBLISHED TO: Blue Country Gazette Blog Rim Country Gazette Blog   Last week, Republicans in the House were desperately seeking a reason to impeach President Joe Biden . That lead to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Bobert exchanging insults on the House floor, competing bills that included claims that Biden was responsible for an international child trafficking ring, and Republican leadership even more desperately trying to find a way to avoid defending, again, the painful foolishness and delusional nonsense spewed by the member of its most powerful caucus.

Obit As the creator or co-creator of much of the technology that made Apple's Macintosh and modern computer graphics in general a success, John Warnock's impact is beyond reckoning. Warnock and Chuck Geschke co-created the Postcript page-description language, and in Warnock's garage in 1982, they started Adobe Systems to turn it into a product. Dr Geschke died in 2021, and in our obituary for him we discussed Postscript's significance. Steve Jobs attempted to buy Adobe - named after the Creek at the back of Warnock's garage - for five million dollars the year it was founded.

NEW YORK — A federal judge on Thursday rejected Donald Trump's bid to dismiss the first of writer E. Jean Carroll's two lawsuits accusing the former U.S. president of defamation for denying he raped her in the mid-1990s. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan found no merit in Trump's arguments that he deserved absolute presidential immunity, and that many of his statements about Carroll were opinion and thus protected. The judge also rejected Trump's claim that the former Elle magazine columnist 'consented' to his statements by purposely waiting decades to go public, until he was in the White House, leaving him 'no choice' but to defend himself.

Hydrocephalus, commonly known as fluid or water on the brain, can occur in the womb or be caused by hemorrhage, tumors, trauma or infection. The "water" in this case is an excess of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's cavities. As fluid accumulates, pressure builds in the brain, compressing and damaging tissues. This often leads to physical and behavioral changes like headache, seizures and sluggishness, among many others, and it can be fatal. While there is no cure for hydrocephalus, it can be managed by surgical placement of a shunt to divert the CSF out of the brain.
