Interesting topic. Is there any possibility of AI taking control of the BOC the day after tomorrow?

Numerology and play by numbers is a very old manipulation trick that the magician/priest/wizard/fraud can use to corral the hmmmm, willingly gullible.

In this case i would call it self-deception based on the seeds planted by BoC about the dangers of tools of mass control.

They must have gotten a massive kick of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune part 1 and 2, imho.

All that to say, i don’t believe there is anything they are or warp or anyone is doing other than Bocfans going through the motions of pareidolia

I recommend this book for anyone interested: Michael Shermer: The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths

Driving home last night at 2am from a buddy's house, my hub was flicking radio channels and low and behold what was on 92.7 community radio. Whipped out the camera and started recording ASAP.
Probably a radio edit or the Reach for the Dead single, but some snippets were definitely extended. Made me think back to the 'songs end before they're supposed to' comment.

I read that whole thread, and I'm inclined to believe.

In the months before the whole tomorrows harvest fun, did anyone tip us off? Was there any speculation of an imminent release? I was around but dont really remember anything unusual until one day it just... happened? There was a lot that went into that campaign, im shocked they managed to keep it under wraps.

I don't think the account that sent the message to "too_old_still_party" has any reason to lie. You'd have to be the most calculating-basterd-sociopath to wait more than 3 years to reply, only to lie about it. That coupled with their Insta radio silence, PIC's unreleased story-post, is enough confirmation for me. The new over/under is February 1st.

Also, anyone STILL wondering about the Adult Swim "turn that smile upside-down" post? I remember people speculating that the image looked like snowfall when you turned the image upside-down. That was like 4 years ago tho... too long? Inconsequential?

This dopamine hit got me lit up lol

to me it sounds like it could possibly be a snippet of an unreleased Geogaddi track.

:shock:

I genuinely believe the Adult Swim "smile" bump was them. It sounded exactly like them, and it's the same kind of messaging or sinister undertones that they often touch on. And they tend to have an acute grasp on topical stuff.

As an extra bit, my takeaway from that bump was that they were expressing that it's okay to feel bad during the "sick times" and encouraging the idea that sometimes you need to confront darkness in the world. Again, seems in line with their themes / commentary. I could just be projecting how I felt at the time that I saw it though.

Edit: That bump with the inflating ball, if it was also them, makes me think that they must have some pretty close friends somewhere at Adult Swim. Considering their long history of their music included on various AS bumps.

I think they just have a deal with Warp and Ninja Tune.

Isn't it more like 2,5 years ago when MDG sent the "a new album is on its way" dm to babylulu? That was such a thrilling moment tbh. This combined with the new Reddit post is very promising. The timing compared to pre TH album confirmations seems similar. I feel good for Q1 2025.

MDG is the only one that really matters. But I think them pointing to Insta/threads is pretty significant that we aren’t too far away, telling everyone that we aren’t too far away, albeit I thought it would’ve happened 4-5 months ago.

As far as Reddit post goes, “Very” is so relative.
