it draws heavily on other examples. the mp3 compression makes it sound pretty weird/squelchy so i also included the original wav for maximum buzz.
scene where the protagonists have to hack the mainframe but instead of computer jargon it's all twitter stuff. an aide runs up to the general in the dark computer room all "sir! we're being ratioed!"

in some ways i'm really fortunate that all digital traces of me before about 2005 or so are completely wiped from the internet. but in other ways it's kind of sad.
in particular, there was a really cool experimental remix contest i entered in 2001 or so. most of the entries were really cool and i wish i could find any of them now. it's possible i'll dig up an old cd-r or backup i made but feels unlikely, and there's zero trace of it on the internet at this point.

fascist bigots.
