@OwsWills @NigDavT @Nigelrefowens From archaeological finds we can be pretty sure that Mann was Celtic for a long time before the Norse invasions.
What's not 100% clear is what language was spoken in Mann before the Norse and Irish. It seems a Brythonic dialect, sometimes called "Manx Brythonic", is most likely.

Whenever someone says "All lives matter", I think about how badly that statement misses the point.
So I thought I'd make a comic to demonstrate just how silly and dismissive it sounds to me.

@PhilosophyTube Santa first arrived in America in the form of Odin, the Yule Father, over a millennium ago.
Truly his claim over the American continent is far older than any borders.

Or delete this and retweet the original from me?

Having one of my images shared by an astronaut is definitely a highlight of my image making career
