Which is binary for “1ngtwllremndyu.” It was promptly deleted. What does it mean?
One night will remind you. That’s a line from Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), a Journey song. It fits: he referenced the song before. But it’s in binary…
Separate Ways was used in Tron Legacy. @MayorEmanuel was sucked into a “Time Vortex” after his last tweet. Sam Flynn gets a call from his missing father’s old office phone and thinks he is in trouble. He enters the Grid and we discover that Clu (Kevin Flynn’s doppelganger) placed the call to bait Sam to enter the Grid. Clu’s goal is to leave the Grid and enter the real world.
Is @MayorEmanuel ready to leave the Time Vortex?
Am I wasting my life over-thinking a fake Twitter account?
(No).
