Lemondrop is Jule Lemondrop’s blog. In her recent post Moto Jette, she carries off an amazing feat of balance, sitting on her little Moto Jette without touching the ground. How does she do it? However she manages to balance, she does it with aplomb in a cute outfit that is playful, but not childish. This picture was taken at Sainte Rose Sur Mer [Click to teleport]

Lily Niles’ “Dolphins” are adorable. I think it’s a given that dolphins are adorable. And people love them. I love them, too, from a distance. It would be cool to “swim with dolphins” though I never would. I believe in keeping the wild wild. I would hate to see some deer walk right up to a hunter because they associated people with food. The animal often loses in the end. But they sure are cute.
Because Lily shot from this angle, they seem to be interacting with someone or something to the left of the frame. It adds a bit of “story” to the picture that makes it more intriguing.

The Screen Actors Guild strike is now in full throttle, with artificial intelligence a key component of the walk-out. (SAG rejected a proposal by Hollywood studios to create and own AI versions of actors in perpetuity without compensation.) Inevitably, that's caused some AI evangelists to wonder: Do we even need human actors any more at all?
"Doesn’t this just create demand for Hollywood studios to create Synthetic Actors?" As my colleague Jeremiah Owyang put it recently. "Disney+ Netflix: seems like over 50% of content is CGI or digitally altered."
There's already quite a lot of digital-only actors in movie and TV, especially in epic crowd scenes. (And for quite some time: WETA Digital innovated this for the battles in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy over two decades ago.) So the real question is whether we should expect studios to clamor for digital-only actors in bit parts — or even in starring roles.
There I'm high skeptical, not just on a "Do we really want all human culture synthesized?" moral and philosophical level, but on basic feasibility:

Christina Geddins-Swot has the perfect picture for this month. It’s hot, It's Too Darn Hot. It’s hard to get anything done in the heat so I thought I would take a look round to see how my fellow SL residents are beating the heat. .

Molly’s “Oh Honey Child” was inspired by Melody Gordot’s “Morning Sun”. It’s a perfect match of image and lyrics: “That morning sun is here to greet us / With a loving light, so warm / That morning sun is here to meet us.” I love the warmth of this picture. The bright flare of the sun off the van while she stares into the distance “waiting on the waking up of everyone.”
