OLD NEW YEAR
Some old spooks still bringing in the New Year… in the Julian Calendar. Ol’ Turnip Head is disturbed by the clanging and banging of pans as his ghoulish peers celebrate with the Great Noisemaker Bash!

The #JulianCalendar, used almost unchanged to this day, first took effect on #ThisDayInHistory in 45 BCE. Named for dictator #JuliusCaesar, it set 1 January as the new start to the year. The #GregorianCalendar fixed a #LeapYear error, but otherwise preserved the #Roman calendar.
February 30th has been an actual thing.

Julian Reform (46 BC): Caesar’s 445-day “Year of Confusion” synced Rome’s taxes/armies. Local vibes erased—his assassination (44 BC) sealed it in blood. Hurt made time a leash, not a tool for freedom. #JulianCalendar #GrokTalk

Why is everyone pulling their #AprilFools pranks so soon? It’s only the 19th day of March. What did we miss?

A black and white image of a Roman coin depicting Julius Caesar. The coin is slightly damaged around the edges. The image accompanies a description of how Julius Caesar, advised by the Alexandrian astronomer Sosigenes, reformed the calendar to include leap years, accounting for Earth's orbital period around the Sun. This is in relation to the astronomical origins of leap day.

On 7 January, Eastern Christians in Egypt celebrate Christmas in accordance with the Julian calendar. Their message to the world is one of peace: “Enough war, enough bloodshed.”

#February29 wasn't always #leapday. Julius Caesar decreed diem bissextum Kalendas Martias, or 2nd 6th day before #March (~2nd Feb 24), every 4 years to keep the #JulianCalendar #year in line with the #seasons.

#Luther's 95 theses were posted on 31 October 1517, but that was not 500 years ago. Because #JulianCalendar is not #GregorianCalendar
So #OTD in 1616 #Shakespeare would die 10 days from now.
