You can see the world’s largest glass Christmas tree at the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. The tree is the brainchild of Rob Elliott, his wife Sarah Elliott, and Jason Mack. The tree is made with donated, used glass that will be recycled into more glass objects after the celebration. The team has been working together on community-oriented projects with molten glass since 2007. @worldstallestglasstree Almost that time #artistsoftiktok #fyp #glassart #viral ♬ KEEP UP – Odetari The website has a series of videos about the tree’s construction and this community event. The entire process is time-consuming but fascinating. Possibly, one of the most incredible pieces, as we spin this tale of the glass Christmas tree, is that community members helped make it. The tree is on a spinning base. Once the frame is complete, molten glass drizzles around the tree’s circumference. The artists heat the glass to a liquid state. As the tree spins, hot glass drizzles off the holding rod to add color to the tree. Image from YouTube. Community members, young and old, enjoy participating in the tree’s construction. There is no denying the smiles on every single one of those faces. Jason, Sarah, and Rob supervise the “helpers” to ensure everyone’s safety. The artists complete the upper parts of the tree using man lifts. After three weekends, the final touch — a five-foot, hand-blown glass star goes on the top of the tree. The result is stunning. Image from YouTube. While the glass Christmas tree isn’t as tall as the Rockefeller Center Tree, it is equally beautiful. The spun glass around the frame takes three weeks and many helping hands. The final sculpture is too gorgeous for words, and viewing is open until early January. Please share the glass Christmas tree community art project.

Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) didn’t just play rock—they redefined it. Melding orchestral grandeur with raw guitar riffs, the band delivered an audacious hybrid sound that broke boundaries and carved out a unique space in rock history. Their most rocking tracks didn’t merely push the genre’s limits; they obliterated them. From electrifying guitar solos to symphonic crescendos, ELO created a musical landscape that could be as heavy as it was lush, as rebellious as it was intricate. These songs remind us that rock isn’t just a genre—it’s an attitude, and ELO wore it with unapologetic flair. “Don’t Bring Me Down” crashes The post 10 Most Rocking Electric Light Orchestra Songs appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Since their inception, JRPGs have been predominantly narrative-driven games, featuring a fixed cast of characters and a linear story without player-driven choices.

Image: Epic Games If it feels like Fortnite just had a major concert, that’s because it did — the beginning of November saw a live performance from Snoop Dogg and Ice Spice in New York that also aired in game. That event was used to kick off a mini season that remixed the battle royale’s second chapter. Now here we are with another virtual concert, albeit one that looks like it will more closely resemble musical events from Fortnite’s past, like those featuring Ariana Grande and Travis Scott. It’s called Remix: The Finale, and the big difference appears to be scale. Instead of one artist, the event will feature four: Snoop, Ice Spice, Eminem, and Juice WRLD. All of them have been featured in the game’s current season (Eminem also had his own solo event a... Continue reading…
