I will give it a gander and say based on your work , psychedelic and surreal work I know of. in psychedelic the colors, the unevenness uncommon unexpected colorings is the key but the shapes shouldn't be too far from cognizant. wheile in surreal, the colors may be bland or even natural, while the shapes are meant to be uneven, uncommon, unexpected.

My Tribe vs Yo Tribe
@frankster what you speak is what James Forten/ Frederick Douglass/ MLK jr/Barrck Obama said in more words or more eloquently or in how they lived their life. But their lives prove that other humans are not always in concurrence to that standing. and that is my point. I don't speak of tribes because it is the most positive plus effective end, the most effective end for humans is to treat all life on earth with the same love or consideration each human will want to themselves, but that isn't how humanity operates. @aka Contrarian yes, i think that in the population of the usa is already brewing a people who will functionalize your way [or at least try to] , the way many other black people in the usa today adhere to, what the raping slaver thomas jefferson wrote, what black people like james forten/frederick douglass/mlk jr lived their entire lives fighting for even when most black people opposed them. what barrack obama tried to uphold even though the needs of the usa in the immediate term warranted another way.

Silver Inspirations
Story for the Where Are they Now Wall E challenge March 5th 2026 https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/art/Silver-Inspirations-1297071893 Title: Silver Inspirations A rustic looking couple with a wooden wheel cart filled with old BNL starliner parts is crossing their towns original road; they see two elders sitting content, looking toward them, the road, the larger town beaming positivity; and they wave. The two elders wave back. And the couple continue onto home. Hakim and Harriet, two silver haired humans with chocolate colored skin, sitting on a stone weathered into a bench after many years, look on a simple walkway in a farming town on Earth. A blond-haired man with streaks of grey and light buff skin approaches, his blue eyes watery: "Grandmother, grandfather, are you alright?" Harriet reply, while Hakim smile: "We are fine Roncar, just looking at all our children and children's children and more generations, lovely little plants growing happily in this part of home" Hakim adds: "We went to where the Axiom landed and saw Wall-E and EVE" Roncar interjected: "Were they looking at their baby?" Harriet replied: "No, they have a grandbaby , very cute and little, their baby is fully part of the Earth now... but watching EVE and Wall-E be so attentive to the life or just being happy it is alive reminded us of why we were so inspired , so many years ago, to start this town around our compass post, and sit here to watch it live" Roncar cry: "Thanks for watching us grow" And Hakim taps the sitting stone, and Roncar sits next to his grandparents, watching life continue. from Richard Murray / @HDdeviant Audio version https://www.tumblr.com/richardmurrayhumblr/810019771872657408/written-by-richard-murray-hddeviant https://www.tumblr.com/richardmurrayhumblr/810019771872657408/written-by-richard-murray-hddeviant

My Tribe vs Yo Tribe
@Pioneer1 right, all DOSers have forebears enslaved to whites but ... for me, a tribe is a group with a purpose. Not all DOSers have the same purpose. yes, jamaican in itself is a nationality, but in the context of Black Americans <Black Modern Immigrants< Jamaicans/South Africans/Sri Lankans/or other national labels are black people from one of said countries who live in the usa today and coalesce with others from the country they are from. All Non Black Americans or non first people fit that mold. ITlaian american/japanese american/jamaican american. The USA naturally lends to people free in it from countries coalescing with others from whatever country they are from. Because DOSers+ First Peoples have another original relationship to the usa compared to the rest of the people in the usa who are willing immigrants from some government outside the usa, they don't have the same way. It isn't a problem, just a reality. This is what whites are learning. Some whites in the usa didn't realize that as more and more other white nationalities enter the white american populace in modernity , they will bring another view towards blacks not dominated by the white anglo saxon protestant so to speak, and so these other whites wish for white power, wish to help their own, but aren't as interested in white absolute power. NYC is the proof. to be blunt, many people in the past suggested the usa is all about money, but it wasn't because all too often whites hurt their own ability to make money by their actions, even if they didn't realize it. But, in modernity, in the usa, making money truly has become the common standard and it welcomes all races, and wants a superior position over all heritages which not only includes black music's relationship to black people but also the white power heritage that was the engine of jim crow, which can't get the same numbers it used to. A Billy Eckstine, a NAt King Cole today would be very fiscally wealthy with all their white european fans + global fanbase in general. What happened to both of them can't happen in the usa today. A black artists who has committed no illegality or even crime while being the best in the industry , can't be blockaded from profit just to block the image of a black person. So.... nationalities in the global scheme of things, but in terms of Black Americans a tribe, mostly of people who , as you correctly state, don't go back because of the amenities of the usa. yeah, in my assessment. functionally, functionally defined as how my life has been lived, I am a free folk. Even though I have negative experiences involving whites personally as well as in my lineage, detailed events not the de facto my forebears were enslaved, and I don't deny thinking of assaulting whites from time to time, I have never embraced the usa nor do I live my life to kill whites or get revenge for any past crimes by whites to me or my lineage. I want out, but I admit I want out my way. Am I selfish or risky? yes both labels are honest to the way I Want out funny, I don't think you should want her out, like yourself, she is good people.

Is music fading as a storytelling avenue among black people?
Thank you all:) @ProfD @aka Contrarian @Pioneer1 your all correct that the commercial aspect of the music industry has pushed music to be leisurely heard or commonly known that fits the high frequency rate of modern communication plus the boring , as in grinded in not dull, nature of modern communication While @Delano you are also correct and they concur that while one may have to be more an aficianado or put more work into the quality in which they listen, storytelling will never be completely dead in music and modern artists are still making storytelling songs with the same intention of those musicians in the past who told stories that opened imaginations with a tempo.

The crossroads of computers, failing firms, or revenge
Which is the best use of computers in your life? If someone would offer you one hundred million dollars but only if you could invest in the global debt market would you? Do you think revenge can be sated by fiscal capitalism? not merely in groups but also all individuals? https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/664-economic-corner-36-02282026/

Economic Corner 36 02/28/2026
Of computers, fiscal quality and nonfinancial revenues.... Computers I saw the following from Ann Michelle Thurmond 𝗔𝗜 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 | 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Last week’s Legal Tech post explored how acceleration exposes structural gaps that were easier to ignore at slower speeds. This week, I want to stay with that thread; because in many organizations, the first visible symptom isn’t failure. It’s workaround behavior. In my experience working across projects where timelines were tight and expectations didn’t slow down, teams didn’t resist governance. They improvised around it. Not out of defiance. Out of necessity. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗜 is often framed as a compliance issue. More often, it’s a design signal. When people discover tools that help them deliver faster, and the sanctioned path can’t keep pace, work flows toward the path of least friction. Deadlines don’t wait for policy updates. Over time, this creates invisible decision-making layers: • Outputs that look consistent • Processes that aren’t • Assumptions that aren’t shared • Risk that isn’t visible Two teams may appear aligned while relying on entirely different inputs or methods. That erodes comparability, traceability, and trust -- quietly at first. Simply lifting restrictions doesn’t solve it. Without standards, sanctioned tools can produce the same fragmentation at scale. The deeper question isn’t: “How do we stop people from using AI?” It’s: “What capability gap are they trying to close that we haven’t designed for yet?” Governance that creates safe, usable pathways tends to reduce shadow behavior far more effectively than prohibition. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁: If shadow AI disappeared tomorrow, would that mean the problem was solved? Or that innovation pressure had nowhere to go? Comment below with your thoughts. Let’s talk about it. AI After the Applause Decision Velocity, Engineered. hashtag#AIStrategy hashtag#OperatingModel hashtag#Governance hashtag#ShadowAI Citation https://www.linkedin.com/posts/amthurmond_aistrategy-operatingmodel-governance-activity-7431680492623638528-Z9je?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAC9jwHcBhMdyfurNH2JmdlAPjJgXHivmWR8 My Reply yeah, exactly, computers are here, no matter the power level, and definitely at the level called AI. So the issue is how to use them. And in the usa i argue, the same model is being used as in the gold/oil rushes. most are spending money on tech they can't afford or will cost them eventually, like land deeds or spikes. The profiteers are the ones providing services and buying and reselling or leasing products. but they are also learning the better practices. it is a hands on approach. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7431680492623638528?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A7431680492623638528%2C7431858195385659392%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287431858195385659392%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7431680492623638528%29 Richard, the “rush” analogy really lands. There’s definitely a lot of spending happening before the long-term costs and tradeoffs are clear. What feels different this time is that AI isn’t just a resource; it’s reshaping how the work itself happens. The winners will be the ones experimenting hands-on and staying disciplined about value and sustainability. Appreciate you adding this perspective. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7431680492623638528?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A7431680492623638528%2C7431858195385659392%29&replyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A7431680492623638528%2C7431864362157379584%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287431858195385659392%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7431680492623638528%29&dashReplyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287431864362157379584%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7431680492623638528%29 exactly, we all can see AI formation while a counter AI formation:) occurring simultaneously because the tools are changing the methodologies in the labor industry which was imbalanced before the modern tools so is growing abstractly https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7431680492623638528?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A(activity%3A7431680492623638528%2C7431858195385659392)&replyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A(activity%3A7431680492623638528%2C7432139535507136512)&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A(7431858195385659392%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7431680492623638528)&dashReplyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A(7432139535507136512%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7431680492623638528) Fiscal Quality Recently, Netflix dropped the bid for Warner bros and I think Netflix will be the better for it. Focus on original content. Yes, stockholders love the idea of owning intellectual properties that come with fans. But, Warner Bros still has a lot of debt. Remember, AOL owned Warner Bros, then AT&T owned Warner Bros, then AT&T sold warner bros under speculative[ which means by appearance not strict value of assers] market rate with the caveat that Discovery channel absorb all the debt. AT&T got debt off its books and whipped it hands clean of a very large + not profitable firm. Discovery channel for me was always looking to sell. How couldn't selling be the main focus with so much debt. netflix wanted to by a part of Warner BRos/Discovery, not the whole thing, which I imagine would had erased or deleted the amount of debt absorbed. Skydance which is a holding firm will basically put the debt into the global, and in my view inevitably catastrophic, debt market. And this is absent even knowing if skydance will be approved. I think Netflix plus Disney are the big winners. Disney for having a late comer to its strategy that is spending wildly only growing disney's specualtive value by leaps and bounds. Disney is already ahead of processing itself, Skydance will have a lot to do. Netflix can focus on original content and I argue, make smart deals with creators in Europe or Asia for properties very popular in Europe or Asia. Yes, the too big too fail business model will maintain till the inevitable collapse of the entire market revolving around failing large firms. But it isn't wise to invest in it. Article Netflix drops $83 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, paving way for Paramount Skydance deal By Megan Cerullo Updated on: February 27, 2026 / 6:04 PM EST / MoneyWatch Netflix said on Thursday that it will not match Paramount Skydance's latest bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, clearing the way for a massive merger that could shake up the entertainment and media industry. Netflix agreed in December to buy part of Warner Bros. Discovery for $27.75 a share, or $82.7 billion. But Paramount Skydance had made a $30 a share all-cash offer to buy all of the company, and on Tuesday raised its offer for Warner Bros. Discovery to $31 a share, valuing the deal at roughly $110 billion (Paramount Skydance owns CBS News). Earlier on Thursday, Warner Bros. Discovery's board of directors notified Netflix that Paramount's $31 per share offer constituted a "superior proposal" for the company. "The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval," Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said in a statement Thursday. "However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid." David Ellison, chairman and CEO of Paramount Skydance, said in a statement that joining forces with Warner Bros. Discovery will benefit viewers, investors and other stakeholders. "By bringing together these world-class studios, our complementary streaming platforms and the extraordinary talent behind them, we will create even greater value for audiences, partners and shareholders — and we couldn't be more excited for what's ahead," he said. David Zaslav, president and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement that the company pushed to "secure a transaction that maximizes the value of our iconic assets and our century-old studio while delivering as much certainty as possible for our investors." Sarandos meeting with Trump admin officials Sarandos spoke with several Trump administration officials — but not with President Trump — on Thursday. The Netflix executive had a meeting at the White House with Mr. Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles and, earlier in the day, he met at the Justice Department with Attorney General Pam Bondi, the antitrust division's acting chief, Omeed Assefi, and other senior Justice Department staff, according to sources familiar with the conversations. Justice Department officials told Sarandos they expected to conduct a very comprehensive antitrust investigation into the Netflix-Warner Bros. Discovery deal, sources told CBS News. Warner Bros. Discovery owns streaming and film studios, along with cable channels including CNN, Food Network, HBO, HGTV, TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. The merger of Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery will require approval from federal antitrust enforcers. Paramount Skydance executives have said that combining the companies would benefit consumers and help boost the entertainment industry, which has struggled to recover from the pandemic. Some entertainment industry groups and lawmakers have raised concerns that uniting two major Hollywood studios could undermine competition. For its part, Paramount Skydance executives argued that a union between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns the streaming platform HBO Max, was likely to raise antitrust objections. In enhancing its offer this week, Paramount Skydance said it would pay a $7 billion termination fee if its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery collapsed over regulatory concerns. Edited by Alain Sherter Jennifer Jacobs and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Citation https://www.cbsnews.com/news/netflix-warner-paramount-skydance-deal/ Nonfinancial Revenues The Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran has been murdered by the USA + Israel governments. In my lifetime I have noticed the USA murder and bully more and more leaders of governments publicly, not the nineteen hundreds secret operation style, more straight. Saddam Hussein, whose sons were murdered before him, cursed the USA before he was hanged. Khaddafi whose daughter was murdered by the USA before him, was dragged by segments of the Libyan people , fully armed + financed by the United States of America using intermediaries or Statian satraps like Israel if need be. The last Assad survived raising the stakes and is in exile in Russia. Now, the current Ayatollah has been murdered. One thing people forget is most human beings have loving ones. Vendetta or revenge is a very dangerous thing, the human imagination is very creative, the seeds planted by the united states of america post jim crow 1980 to today, are very interesting. The one thing most dangerous about said seeds is that they are not financial in nature, which means they will not be able to be bought or paid POST URL Which is the best use of computers in your life?

Is DEI still needed?
@Pioneer1 exactly, most black people didn't. The private sector used human resource departments to avoid the lawsuits by saying they have jobs open to all, even though as a number of recent cases have proven, this was to cover them keeping the same nepotistic or phenotypically biased hiring practices. And since most black people still live in the confederate states, well I don't have to explain how louisiana/mississippi/georgia/south carolina/virginia/alabama/florida/arkansas/tennessee white governments would not hire black people , and with the structure of the federal government, states hiring is hard to make a federal issues without blunt evidence. So between black people living in white states that don't hire black people in government jobs outside black elected officials having the power to + white private sector firms using human resources to dodge civil rights act lawsuits while maintaining their pro white hiring practices through nepotism or anti black hiriing practice meant most blacks didn't financially benefit. And those who did became the token blacks working at every white firm in the usa that couldn't afford or wanted to evade the lawsuit. hilarious:) You didn't realize that? I ponder how you couldn't realize that?

Mineral Resources future
The reality is natural resources has always been key to who has and who doesn't have. With the earth having limited resources and the universe having no limit, sooner or later, the technology will allow for battles over resources. Which resource do you think will be more valuable in the future? If you had to invest in the oil/oxygen/sand/carbon outside the earth, which would you choose? https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/206-economic-corner-20-02262025/

Black History Month 2026 end
WHO ARE THE BLACK TRIBES? Pioneer has a post https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12557-my-tribe-vs-yo-tribe/ MY COMMENT Posted just now @Pioneer1 Ending black history month with thoughtfulness:) hope #black327 is very eventful I have confused you. Black Americans is the root, these are all black peoples in the usa, gardless of ancestry, language, religion, this is all about the skin. Black Americans in the USA today is composed of two main groups, populaces not tribes. Black DOSers- descended of enslaved black folk which also includes those who willingly immigrated into the usa before the 1960s, like MArcus Garvey for example + Black modern immigrants - black people who willingly immigrated to the usa when Blacks achieved in the USA complete legal federal recognition which was with the Civil Rights Act of immigration act of 1964 and who came after the immigration act of 1965. Yes, black people did freely immigrate into the USA before 1964 or 1965 but before then the federal legal rights of Black people in the usa were simply not in any way even to whites. Now states laws would take time to change but by the end of the jim crow era, 1980, they did. Black Modern immigrants tribes are based on the countries they come from: jamaican/panamanian/south african/nigerian/indian/brasilian either their country is majority black and so they come from a tribe in their country of their country has a name for the black minority. Black DOSers have three tribes from the creation of the USA and none are based on geography , all are based on a philosophy toward the usa or the whites in it. Black Statians are black people who embrace the USA as their home, gardless of whites activity, gardless of the historic reality, gardless of most black peoples views towards the usa or the whites in it. . James Forten for example. WAs a businessman, fought for the USA, was a prisoner of war, and all of this is while over 90% of black people in the colonies were completely enslaved, and most who got freedom fought against the USA, yet he held firm. Black Statians are not about being in the majority, it is about the usa as their home , gardless of anything else. Black Militants - I want to say a caveat, militancy is really about wanting to go to war. But Black Militants are really about trust. Black Militants don't trust/will never trust the usa or whites of the usa and want the earned revenge. Now the earliest black militants fought for the english, whites, not because they trust whites, but because they distrust white statians the most, and want revenge. Black Freefolk- I use this term because, what many people don't seem to comprehend is when the USA was founded, over ninety percent of black people were enslaved to whites. What does that mean? That means when the USA was founded over ninety percent of blacks, had no allegiance or caring for the USA or for whites, so they weren't statians, even though many of them them or most their lineage would only know the usa as a home, it had no connection to them. But they weren't militants. Yes, they hated whites but they didn't want revenge, they only wanted away from whites. All they wanted was to be as far away from the colonies or the later USA or white people as possible. In them you find the back to africa movement, which at is heart to trying to get black people as far away from whites or the usa. Their influence is what made in combination side black statians the exoduster movement, which at its heart is an agreement between black statians + black freefolk. Essentially, one group says they embrace the usa, the other group says, they want as far away from the usa or the whites in it. So the middle ground is places as far away from whites in the usa. The problem is, white people historically, don't like black people to be undisturbed by whites wherever we live. whether an urban black region or a black town, whites have a heritage of negative meddling with blacks. Another subtribe for the the black freefolk are those Leaving the USA [which for the record always goes on among black DOSers every year, yes it has never bee n a majority act but people forget whites historically hated black people who spoke of leaving the usa. From most whites perspectives, histoorically, they wanted black people to embrace being enslaved as a positive, for white financial betterment... ]. Another subtribe are black individualism. It makes sense to me. how Black people descended from enslaved people who had nothing to do with the creation of the usa and were descended from people who wanted nothing to do with the usa or the white people in it would see themselves as individuals. Embracing a hard truth that, the usa is nothing to them , but since fate has placed them here, they just live, not because they are comfortable or love whites, but simply because like the ninety percent of our forebears enslaved in the usa when it was founded , they have no where to go or nothing to be apart communally. The slave quarter isn't a communal zone, it is pig pen for humans, so if the usa is merely a huge pig pen in a black person's mind, they why should they think communally. For me, I don't know either of you well enough to be sure of anything . But based on communications in this forum, I think, cynique like yourself are Black Statians, the tribe in the populace of Black DOSers. Both of you embrace the USA. You pioneer seem to have an exoduster mentality. You embrace the usa, part of you loves it. But what you want for its future is black solidarity + safety in the usa, not as indiivduals in a hyper mixed brew but in specific locals. It isn't impossible, to reach what you want. Nothing is easy. Cynique it seems, has a James Forten philosophy. She embraces not only the usa but the idea its white enslaving founders suggested , a country of humans, individuals who embrace the idea that each individual should be treated equally. Frederick Douglass/MLK jr/Barrack Obama all live their lives with this idea, started from James Forten's or similars example. Arguably, Black Statians like Cynique are closest to achieving their goal. because Black Statians like her were by default most willing to work with whites, they benefited them in the usa, where whites only started allowing the majority of the black populace equal status, 1980. to be blunt, if you aren't willing to work with whites pre 1980, while you live in the usa, you essentially have nothing. As black DOSers forebears were enslaved so they could provide no fiscal inheritance and as all know, over ninety percent of wealth in the usa is inheritance. Very few whites are willing to work with blacks who want away. Yes, Back to Africa movements occurred in the usa , but their white financiers were never representing a majority of whites. So, For me, both of you are Black Statians. The key for you to comprehend is Black DOSers relationship to the usa is historically not financial, it is pure philosophy, or vendetta based. This is why Black Modern Immigrants fit in so well with the USA, because their relationship is like all non blacks who aren't indigenous. It is, a financial desire to make money, to be better off. But, Black DOSers didn't originally have that desire, and even in 1865, when the enslavement era ends and jim crow begins. Black DOSers didn't come into the Jim Crow era thinking I want to be apart of the USA. Black Freefolk historically had to be convinced of the merit of the USA which many Black Statians have always had problems with ., ala the similarity of Frederick Douglass/MLK jr/ Barrack Obama who arguably all spent the latter years of their most potent time disliked by most Black DOSErs. Which makes sense, because Black Statians by default, embrace the usa no matter what. So faced with Black people with the same experiences who don't accept it at all, or who need convincing when whites make that nearly impossible, outside of faith based, it becomes a natural divide no bridge can cross. Citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12557-my-tribe-vs-yo-tribe/#findComment-80451 IN AMENDMENT 03022026 Citation https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/12557-my-tribe-vs-yo-tribe/#findComment-80496 osted just now @frankster what you speak is what James Forten/ Frederick Douglass/ MLK jr/Barrck Obama said in more words or more eloquently or in how they lived their life. But their lives prove that other humans are not always in concurrence to that standing. and that is my point. I don't speak of tribes because it is the most positive plus effective end, the most effective end for humans is to treat all life on earth with the same love or consideration each human will want to themselves, but that isn't how humanity operates. @aka Contrarian yes, i think that in the population of the usa is already brewing a people who will functionalize your way [or at least try to] , the way many other black people in the usa today adhere to, what the raping slaver thomas jefferson wrote, what black people like james forten/frederick douglass/mlk jr lived their entire lives fighting for even when most black people opposed them. what barrack obama tried to uphold even though the needs of the usa in the immediate term warranted another way.
