This one probably ain't getting finished. But here's what we made up to this point. A truer 8-bit version of The Great Despair, much to whomever is managing the official Wiki's dismay.

Hype for the Future 103L: The Illinois Iron Furnace

https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/02/11/hype-for-the-future-103l-the-illinois-iron-furnace/

I just read so much about furnace filters AFTER I bought a 6-pack (WHAT an idiot, I know!!) that now I'm all upset that my MERV is too high.

I bought a MERV 12 and now I feel like I should have an MERV 8 or a 10 at most. Is my house going to burn to the ground because I'm ruining my furnace?!!

Naddafinga!

#Furnace

#PSA:
A good chunk of the #northeast US is about to get up to two feet of #snow over the weekend. Please make sure you know where your #furnace vents are and they stay clear.

Please be aware of symptoms of #carbonmonoxide poisoning. Keep your phones and batteries charged, and if you're more remote, have more than one way to contact #emergencyservices or other friends/family/neighbors (such as #frs or #lora #meshtastic radios) if needed.

Thank you.

Outrage after far‑right group urges parents to boycott school mosque visit

Voice of Wales, which has previously been linked to far‑right activism in South Wales, targeted Welsh Primary School, Ysgol Gymraeg Ffwrnes in Llanelli after the school arranged an educational trip to Swansea as part of the curriculum on world religions. The group made a series of false and inflammatory claims about Islam and encouraged parents to keep their children off school on the day of the visit.

The posts prompted a strong backlash from local residents, teachers and community leaders, who accused the group of spreading misinformation and stoking division. Voice of Wales has denied being a racist organisation, but its content has repeatedly drawn criticism from anti‑racism campaigners.

Llanelli Labour town councillor Shaun Greeney said the comments were “bitter and twisted racist remarks designed to incite hatred”.

“We’re entering a very dark place in Welsh politics when scoundrels like the so‑called Voice of Wales make such remarks aimed at the Muslim community attending the mosque in Sketty,” he said.

“My other concern is that it puts Furnace School at the centre of a storm of far‑right extremism. Such appalling remarks should be investigated by the police. It is high time the Voice of Wales site was taken down on the basis that such comments potentially incite violence.

“My biggest fear surrounds young people at the school, parents and teachers who have been thrust into the front line through no fault of their own. Visiting a mosque is part of a programme aimed at teaching school students about different religions and cultures so that they can become well‑informed and rounded citizens of the future.”

Cllr Greeney also warned of parallels with the unrest seen when far‑right activists infiltrated protests at the nearby Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli.

Green Party councillor Rob James, whose son attends Ysgol Gymraeg Ffwrnes and will be taking part in the mosque visit, also condemned the posts. He said he was “more than happy” for his child to visit a mosque, church, synagogue or temple as part of learning about different beliefs. “That is how we live in a tolerant Wales,” he said.

Residents responding to the posts criticised the rhetoric as fear‑mongering and divisive. One Llanelli parent, posting anonymously due to concerns about being targeted, described the claims as “misinformation, collective blame and emotional manipulation”. Others pointed out that school visits to places of worship have been part of the curriculum for decades.

Voice of Wales has been the subject of previous controversy, including its support for Cinema & Co during the venue’s anti‑COVID regulation stance in the pandemic — a position that drew criticism from anti‑racism groups after the cinema welcomed the organisation. The group has also been linked to previous incidents involving far‑right agitation in Swansea and Llanelli.

One of its founders, Dan Morgan, received a suspended jail sentence in 2023 for his role in a PPI call‑centre scam that targeted elderly and vulnerable victims.

Despite this, some comments beneath the group’s posts were supportive, while many others condemned the rhetoric and defended the school’s decision to teach pupils about different religions.

Voice of Wales refute claims that their organisation is racist.

Commenting on the news, Torsten Bell MP, said: “This is the second utterly disgraceful recent attempt by the far right to use children to further their politics of hatred and division in Swansea.

“It won’t work because parents know education should be celebrated not weaponised by extremists. And it won’t work because across Swansea and South Wales people want to celebrate the different communities that contribute so much to our civic, cultural and economic life.

“I have been in touch with Sketty Mosque to offer my solidarity and support. More importantly so have many parents and others across Swansea and Llanelli.”
