The Capsule Garden Vol 5.8: August 7, 2026
I didn’t manage to get a Capsule Garden out in July, but it was such a busy month that I’m sure nobody noticed. Summer has been relentless, both in things happening and in temperatures …

Part of what we're seeing is the long-foretold victory of Lee Atwater's covert racism strategy. Forty years later and journalists still have no ability to accurately describe a racist who doesn't use the n-word in public.

So great to have seen the one and only @thetob.bsky.social ! Amazing performance and conversations that followed at Compound Yellow.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social I assume you saw that Clarence cited the New York Times a bunch in his anti-trans ruling. Thank you for all the good work you do, including keeping me abreast of how absolutely godawful the times is.

From Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf [Roald Dahl]
"That's wrong!" cried Wolf. "Have you forgot
To tell me what BIG TEETH I've got?
Ah well, no matter what you say,
I'm going to eat you anyway."
The small girl smiles. One eyelid flickers.
She whips a pistol from her knickers.
She aims it at the creature's head
And bang bang bang, she shoots him dead.
A few weeks later, in the wood,
I came across Miss Riding Hood.
But what a change! No cloak of red,
No silly hood upon her head.
She said, "Hello, and do please note
My lovely furry wolfskin coat."

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

One of the greats of all time. Her work in activism outside of music is not to be forgotten either. What a life.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Coming on here and seeing all the friends who are looking for me reminds me of unpacking the record collection after a move; Oh look at this old friend! And this one! It’s nice to feel surrounded by good people.

Still can't get over this. PEPFAR is one of the best things the US has ever done, and we're doing this. Monstrous.

House GOP can't subpoena Cassidy Hutchinson about Liz Cheney talking to her because so many of them sent her sexually explicit texts. wapo.st/4hKX6L1
An aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson advised Republican colleagues against subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack in an effort to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to written correspondence reviewed by The Post and a person familiar with the effort.

"I mean what cut shape is made whole by opening?" @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social
Poem by Maggie Smith:

Heart

A child of, say, six knows you’re not the shape
she’s learned to make by drawing half along a fold,
cutting, then opening. Where do you open?
Where do you carry your dead? There’s no locket
for that—hinged, hanging on a chain that greens
your throat. And the dead inside you, don’t you
hear them breathing? You must have a hole
they can press their gray lips to. If you open—
when you open—will we find them folded inside?
In what shape? I mean what cut shape is made
whole by opening? I mean besides the heart.

It's always been obvious that the anti-DEI backlash wasn't driven by opposition to silly or ineffective trainings, it was opposition to diversity itself.

the current conservative meta is that disqualifying a candidate for trying to forcibly seize the presidency undermines democracy, but the act of attempting to forcibly seize the presidency itself was legitimate legal maneuvering
