IT’S ALSO WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU’VE GIVEN UP ARGUING FOR YOUR CAUSE:
Positing that the foe is demonic aims at shoring up internal cohesion rather than constituting any realistic assessment of the opponent. It is a fiction aimed at preventing compromise.

CORN, POPPED: It’s ALIVE, ALIVE… the Democrat Revolt Against Biden ‘Resurfaces.’ “It had appeared as though the Democrat Civil War of 2024 had ended in an unsatisfactory stalemate (unsatisfactory for them; I’m loving it) with a critically wounded Presidentish Joe Biden still atop the ticket. But now comes word that the fighting has quietly resumed.”

PJM manages the transmission of wholesale electricity across 13 states and the District of Columbia – including major data center hotspots such as Virginia and Ohio.
Meanwhile, a neighboring RTO, the Mid-Continent Independent System Operator (MISO) painted an even gloomier picture in its recent “Reliability Imperative Report.” MISO manages electric transmission across 15 states throughout most of the Midwest, Mississippi Valley, and Great Plains regions as well as the Province of Manitoba in Canada.
In their report, MISO forecasts a demand increase of 60 GW, or 32%, by 2042. At the same time, MISO expects much of their current baseload capacity to retire. And despite new renewable generation planned for construction, MISO expects to see a net capacity decline of 32 GW (@18%).
“Because new wind and solar resources have significantly lower accreditation values than the conventional resources that utilities and states plan to retire in the same 20-year period, the region’s level of accredited capacity is forecast to decline by 32 GW by 2042” MISO stated.
PJM expects 58 GW of current capacity to retire by 2032, which is approximately 30% of the total current capacity of 196 GW). This amount of capacity loss is despite peak forecasted demand increasing by 43 GW above current capacity.
The story continues to repeat itself across the country.

NEWS FROM 1894: Study: ‘Staying regular’ good for health.
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY (MOSCOW EDITION): Russia Classifies Mortality Data after Ukraine War Losses Revealed.
Russia has classified parts of its mortality data, days after an investigation revealed the scale of the nation’s war dead—according to a Russian demographer.
Alexey Raksha, a demographer who previously worked at the Federal State Statistics Service of Russia (Rosstat) statistics agency, found on Tuesday that Rosstat deleted two columns of data containing details on the number of deaths and mortality from external causes.
On June 27, the original data was used by independent outlet Important Stories, which estimated that at least 71,000 Russian troops had died since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has resulted in high military fatalities for both Moscow and Kyiv. Newsweek has contacted Russia’s Foreign Ministry for comment by email.
Independent Russian news outlets Mediazona and Meduza also published a joint investigation on troop deaths in the war on July 5, which used data from the country’s National Probate Registry. The outlets found that by the end of June, approximately 120,000 Russian troops had died since the conflict began, “but the real number could be as high as 140,000.”
The Soviets lost somewhere between 14,000-26,000 men in nine years of fighting in Afghanistan.

AMBER ROSE’S MOST DANGEROUS SPEECH. “CNN senior political commentator Van Jones warned that TV personality and model Amber Rose’s address to the Republican National Convention in support of former President Trump was the ‘most dangerous speech’ for the Democratic Party. The pundit expressed trepidation over the fact that Rose, a person of color with mainstream fame, spoke at the RNC, noting that she’s appealing to people in liberal circles who may be frustrated with Democratic policies.”

THIS ISN’T WHERE I EVER HOPED WE’D BE BUT IT IS WHERE WE ARE:
There’s some controversy about this because it’s unpleasant. But here’s the thing. We’re betraying our own powerless people if we don’t use the power we have to protect them by making the side that imposed these new rules feel the costs.

More:
We have tried reason. We have tried appeals to simple justice. They have failed. Now we need to apply punishment. They need to know there is a cost to this. If we fail to impose a cost on them for doing this because doing so is unpleasant, we have betrayed our own people and left them exposed. The left will not stop unless it has reason to. This is reason to.
Sometimes you have to be stern.
