@ScomoCchio @OliLondonTV My friend threw a paper ball at me. What if that had been a grenade? Lock him up!

@OliLondonTV Of course. What if it were acid.

Do you think the woman who threw a McDonald’s Milkshake at Nigel Farage should serve jail time for assault?

@ScomoCchio @OliLondonTV hahahaha

@JennyENicholson Now I am become squishmallow

No spoilers but if you've seen oppenheimer what's a good squishmallow to bring

@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.

@NigDavT @Nigelrefowens I think so: Brythonic > ? > Norse > Manx > English? The animation is c/o the brilliant @Starkey_Comics, and I think it's a really good illustration of the sweep of history 👉 starkeycomics.com/2019/03/01/a-b…

The word "Wales" reveals the origins of Britain, and a gnawing history of Anglo-Saxon oppression… It was used by invading tribes to mean 'foreigners' or 'outsiders,' despite Brythonic peoples (latterly Welsh, Cornish, Cumbrian, Breton) being native to these isles. THREAD 👇

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. starkeycomics.com/2020/06/21/alm… #BLM #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

@StevenPolyglot @maxantonynewman @bildlida @PlurilingualLab @CERLLOISE @Multi_Ling_Mat @__BAAL @Bapujee @ACLA_CAAL What do you mean by "a bit of a stretch"?

Languages are related to each other quite a lot indeed. Beautiful infographic from @Starkey_Comics "These 75 languages all have related words for “two” starkeycomics.com/2019/11/01/ind… @bildlida @PlurilingualLab @CERLLOISE @StevenPolyglot @Multi_Ling_Mat @__BAAL @Bapujee @ACLA_CAAL

@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.

@exdurham @Gesell61755 @Caesar63BC Shhhh not everyone knows that and you'll ruin the magic

@Gesell61755 @Starkey_Comics @Caesar63BC You do realise this is nonsense. Right?

Merry Christmas! Here is my gift to you this year: I've made a map of all the different Christmas figures of Britain! Who brings the presents in your region? Full post with explanations here: starkeycomics.com/2019/12/24/who… . #FatherChristmas #Christmas #British #gefthetalkingmongoose

@del_usory @akhivae @PhilosophyTube The Danelaw was the region of England ruled by the Danes.

@Starkey_Comics @akhivae @PhilosophyTube Wasn't the Danelaw established by the English to act as a bulwark against the Vikings?

@VnTa_ @PyramidHead76 They've been very naughty this year

@Starkey_Comics @PyramidHead76 Any explanation for the 'no one' part?

@robinwriting @akhivae @PhilosophyTube Happens all the time. People are dicks.

@akhivae Since you've cropped my name from the bottom of the image, can you at least credit me in the caption? Or delete this and retweet the original from me?

@PhilosophyTube That is fucked up. Tup Tup shite anyway, I'd definitely not be handing over my fingerprints to them. Gan ower to Head of Steam or something instead :P

@akhivae @PhilosophyTube You clipped off my name! :( Starkey comics made this!

@sosomanysarahs @akhivae Some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world

@Cmdr_Hadfield Thank you so much for sharing, very glad you liked it. I'm a big fan of yours😊 Having one of my images shared by an astronaut is definitely a highlight of my image making career

Where your word 'two' came from, for many of us. starkeycomics.com/2019/11/01/ind… @Starkey_Comics

@ItsJust_Bacrage @Cmdr_Hadfield I covered that a bit the post :) starkeycomics.com/2019/11/01/ind…

@Cmdr_Hadfield @Starkey_Comics Why happened with Armenia? Totally ignored any of the originating characters.
