  1. Obviously it’s #hollywood to blame, but…

    #supernatural (the TV series) - some evil monsters pull another evil monster out of a place it’s been trapped for at least 7 centuries, and it comes out speaking with a modern US English accent??

    Just, nope. Nopety nope. Make an effort, writers/directors. Like Sleepy Hollow did?

    I know, target audience issue, but it’s just jarring… 😂

  2. A village church I walked past today in the Douro Valley. I feel like the local historical society missed a trick here #Anachronism

  3. One member of the band can NOT be separated from her phone haha 🤣

  4. MUMPS: the *fantastic* #programming language designed for those who believe #coding should feel like a trip back to the '60s 🤖✨. Who needs modern syntax when you can have anachronistic chaos and a name that evokes a viral disease? 🦠💻 Bravo, #Wikipedia, for turning a relic into a museum exhibit nobody asked for! 🎟️🔍

  5. A bloke in a tesla just drove past, breathing out clouds of vape smoke

    a·nach·ro·nism (ə-năk′rə-nĭz′əm)
    n.

    1. The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in other than chronological, proper, or historical order.
    2. One that is out of its proper or chronological order, especially a person or practice that belongs to an earlier time: "A new age had plainly dawned, an age that made the institution of a segregated picnic seem an anachronism" (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.).

  7. <showing old glamour-era Hollywood photos (1920s-30s) to younger person>

    Them: Wow, she has perfect skin!
    Me: Well, probably not. These were all touched up.
    Them: Huh. I didn't know they had Photoshop back then.

    Me: <headdesk>

  8. Anachronism alert: I’m reading a novel set in the time of Bar Kochba where they refer to footbinding in China. That did not start until the Song dynasty (10th century CE) and was not widespread until much later.

    Sloppy research bothers me. :blobcatglare:

  9. Me, watching Lord of the Rings this bank holiday and glitching when Sam talks about eating a potato (brought to Europe in 1589).

  10. Shadiversity be all like "And well-lit alcoves in Gothic castles were where the mediæval knights placed their typewriters in, you know, for writing all those Gothic horror novels such as Acts of the Apostles."

  11. The Court Circular is weird. March 13, 2024. "At the Council, The King pricked the List of High Sheriffs for the Counties of England (other than Cornwall and those in the Duchy of Lancaster) and Wales." Pricked the List???

    "The Rt Hon Penelope Mordaunt MP had an audience of The King before the Council."
    An audience _of_ the King???

  12. With great pleasure, I announce that my drawing Entre Sombras is a winner in The Pre-Raphaelite Society’s annual art competition and will be appearing in the new issue of their journal, The PRS Review. It’s an honor to have my work acknowledged by the PRS. #scastio #storyteller #draftsman #picturemaker #anachronist #anachronism #penandink #fineart #sketchbook #people #ink #artist #traditionalart #handdrawn #19century #preraphaelite #findesiecle #Victorian #england #europe

  13. I love #TheChosen. I truly do.

    But guys, they didn't have backpacks in the first century.
    They didn't have backpacks in the eighteenth century.

    Lots of #anachronism in diction and props, lost of inconsistent transliteration and language use.
    People speak with too many twenty-first century idioms, and if Shmuel is Shmuel, then Jesus is Yeshua, Simon is Shimon, and JAMES IS YAKOB, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

    #transliteration #PetPeeves

    But don't get me wrong. I adore the show.

  14. Anachronisms are fun, and so is breaking the 4th wall. I think this time I got the six panel format working better here.
