US-based Canadian artist Carol Milne creates glass sculptures that mimic the patterns of knitting and yarn.
Her method involves aspects of knitting, lost-wax casting, mold-making, and kiln-casting to achieve the intricate, seemingly pliable forms of knitted glass.

The day of the moron, you say? Is the story set in the far-off year of 2025 by any chance?

"The arrests in #Spokane — not the first time in recent weeks that the government has aggressively gone after anyone involved in resisting the ICE raids — are a window into how this police state plans to operate."

@SFFMagazineCovers There was a story called The Marching Morons which was about an unscrupulous real estate developer from our time who got “frozen” and woke up in a far future where humanity had been dumbed down. He decided he should be leader, planning to adopt Hitler’s genocide policies.
The people of the future put him on a rocket and fired him into the sun.
A much more satisfying ending than we’re likely to have in real life.

The Piper story was not one of his best, about stupid uppity labor activists not respecting their technocratic betters.
No, the distant future of 1968...
