  1. It was a dark and stormy night, and there was a light over at the Royal Court Theatre…

    June 19th is the anniversary of the stage premier of The Rocky Horror Show (which evolved into The Rocky Horror Picture Show). Here is a collection of references and AI images for the fans!

    The show had a rocky start, but once the lights dimmed and audience began to laugh, a monster of a hit was born, and regardless of the negative stereotypes featured in both the show and the movie it has been embraced by many members of the LGBTQ community.

    The first time I saw the movie at a theater in Seattle University District I was at a loss for words, and since I am at a loss of words as I write this I am just going to refer you to the links in the Substack version of this article, and hope you enjoy this minimalist effort.

    Feel free to leave a comment and let me plant an ear worm of the Time Warp in your ear.

    Cheers ~ Jim

  3. Gravitational Time Dilation of Grief

    According to physics, someone in high gravity experiences time normally but sees people in lower gravity moving much faster—where one hour for them equals decades for others. I relate to this deeply. My heavy rumination over my past relationship has warped my sense of time. Six years have passed in what feels like a blink. Even though the relationship only lasted six months, I have spent the last six years grieving and struggling to live a normal life.

  5. 🚨 Ah, nostalgia! Who wouldn't want to navigate the vast expanse of #Wikipedia like it's stuck in a 2001 time warp? 🤔 Sure, let's turn the world's largest repository of knowledge into a pseudo-desktop experience, because that's what everyone was missing. 😂

  7. Google thinks it can outsmart #spam by introducing a "policy" for back button hijacking. Because apparently, policies are what bots fear most 🤖. Meanwhile, users are still stuck in an endless loop of clicking back like they're trapped in a time warp ⏳🤦‍♂️.

  17. ‘Time Warp’ dance still winning hearts as ‘Rocky Horror’ turns 50 – USA Today

    Let’s do the ‘Time Warp’ again! The story behind ‘Rocky Horror’s signature song

    By Brian Truitt, USA TODAY

    Barry Bostwick has a witty response at the ready anytime someone asks him if he can do the Time Warp.

    “I go, ‘Well, is it a step to the left or is it a step to the right?’ They have to say it’s to the left. I say, ‘Because I only remember the pelvic thrust.’ That to me was the most important part of that dance,” says “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” star about one of the soundtrack’s signature songs.

    The music of “Rocky Horror” for decades has entertained generations of fans, from the original 1973 stage show in England to the 1975 cult classic movie to so many revivals and midnight showings since. (The film’s 50th anniversary is being celebrated with a newly restored version on tour through November and a 4K Blu-ray/DVD out Oct. 7.) Everybody’s got their favorite showtune, but what was supposed to just be a twist on the Twist, the buoyant and catchy “Time Warp,” found a life of its own.Join our Watch Party!

    Fran-N-Furter (Tim Curry, center) with his minions Columbia (Nell Campbell), Magenta (Patricia Quinn) and Riff Raff (Richard O’Brien) in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

    “The genius thing was the ‘Time Warp’ told you how to do it,” says Patricia Quinn, who played the servant Magenta on both stage and screen. “The only other song to do that was the ‘Hokey Pokey.’

    ‘Time Warp’ came from needing a ‘Rocky Horror’ dance

    Rehearsing for the original “The Rocky Horror Show” stage show in 1973, director Jim Sharman wanted a song-and-dance number for the three servants. Riff Raff (O’Brien), Magenta and Columbia (Nell Campbell) are minions of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a lingerie-clad mad scientist from the planet Transsexual who creates a “Frankenstein”-esque muscle man named Rocky.

    Campbell recalls Sharman asking for something like the scene in Jean-Luc Godard’s French film “Bande à Part” “where two gangsters and their moll put some money in a jukebox, and the three of them in unison dance the Madison.” (A popular 1950s line dance, the Madison is also mentioned in passing in the “Rocky Horror” movie.)

  20. 🚀 Ah yes, the "good old days" when formatting was a mythical beast slain by the divine compiler gods of the 80s. 🙄 Apparently, we're all just stuck in a time warp of linter debates while the ancients enjoyed their IR utopia. 🤯 Maybe we should just take a time machine back to when code formatted itself and we all rode dinosaurs to work! 🦖✨

  21. 🚀 Wow, #OpenBSD is *so* fast that it broke time itself! Meanwhile, #Linux must be taking a leisurely stroll with a cup of ☕, trying to figure out why it can’t keep up with a program that just sits there opening sockets. 🐢 Maybe next time, it should try opening a window instead. 🪟

  22. I went to bed, fell asleep fast, and woke up feeling totally rested - thinking most of the night had elapsed and the alarm clock was due to make its noise soon. Checked the clock: only 2 hours had passed. #TimeWarp

  23. Oh, the "Frankfurt Kitchen"—a culinary revolution so cutting-edge it's trapped in a 1927 time warp! 🕰️✨ A museum exhibit that's the height of modernity if you're a toaster. 🍞🔌 Who knew a kitchen could be so... thrilling? 😴
