The last furnace addition in the age old Norse process for firing bog limonite int malleable iron is to add some unreduced ore to the white hot furnace bottom mass .

Does this carbon reducing shot of iron oxide prefigure Bessemer's blast furnace

Serkis' travesty owes as much to Orwell as 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 does to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

In 1945 Orwell produced Animal Farm as a London play
Serkis fails to mention, despite its playbill's uncanny portrait of Napoleon Pig as Preident TrumP: #AndySerkis #AnimalFarm #Orwellian

The discovery of Neanderthal fires made striking sparks from pyrite should catalyze a global hunt for palaeolithic parallels,

Pyrite is both conspicuous, and all over the map- "fool's gold" is the most common sulfide mineral in the world and its very name means fire-bearing in Greek

Once upon a time , The College of New Jersey gave us James Madision, Woodrow Wilson and George Schultz.

Not so much of late :https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/11/princeton-opinion-opguest-pete-hegseth-unfit-trump-secretary-defense
Princeton must have no truck with Hegseth ’03
Pete Hegseth ’03 “is manifestly unfit to lead the U.S. military, often called the world’s most powerful. Hegseth’s threadbare résumé, his decorated service notwithstanding, is least among the mountain...

Trump wants to beguile members of the Party of Lincoln, Reagan & Roosevelt into ditching their allegiance, but they recall the revolt his moral antithesis General Carl Schurz led against the political corruption of the Gilded Age.

The GOP needs disinterested statesmen, not sycophants like Hegseth.

Hegseth has his tattoos in the wringer over the decorations on Senator Kelly's Navy dress uniform:

The West Wing celebrated Halloween last night by inviting the Balkan diplomatic corps to a traditional pumpkin gilding contest.

President Trump seems as hell bent on destroying the White House as King George's troops in 1814.

Why does he need a 90,000 sq. ft gilded Valhalla to feast 900 sycophants and enemies, when Mrs. Astor's 50 foot wide ballroom sufficed to entertain all 400 of her friends?
