Sesquicentennial Snark

#HeadsUp #TheHuntingOfTheSnark 150th anniversaries of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark". See also snrk.de/150th-snark-an… and snark150 in the Blue Sky.

@BBCOxford @sobellhouse @WestgateOxford Will the BBC celebrate the coming 150th anniversary (see snark150 in the blue sky) of “The Hunting of the Snark”? Please broadcast snrk.de/snark-radio-pl… again. Or did the BBC cancel Lewis Carroll by now?

“Curiouser and curiouser!” 🐄🎨🥰 Celebrating Alice in Wonderland & Lewis Carroll with @sobellhouse at @WestgateOxford 🙌

@chri61587 @Persianpolish @jaegerthomas2 Nicht einmal Mist, denn der wäre wenigstens noch zu etwas zu gebrauchen.

@Persianpolish @jaegerthomas2 Mit Verlaub, Sie schreiben Mist.

Wer weiß schon, was das jetzt wieder zu bedeuten hat. Trump strebt an, den Krieg gegen Iran multilateral zu beenden (oder weiterzuführen?). Jedenfalls endet es in Harmonie. Schwer zu sagen, ob Trump selbst noch den Überblick über seine Initiativen und Drohungen behält.

Officially published on April 1, 1876, Lewis Carroll’s "The Hunting of the Snark" has introduced the 'Boojum' to us. Over the past 150 years, we met that monster on several occasions, and now we are living in a Boojum era once again.

@nybooks @JoostHiltermann The motives? How about just having fun?

“Fathoming Trump’s motives for attacking Iran now is a fool’s errand,” writes @JoostHiltermann. “But his actions doubtless reflect how little US military strategists still understand the power of Iranian nationalism.” go.nybooks.com/4siVI7i

@johncwright2001 @IamAmericasidea @PU28453638 @yikes1276874161 No new wars...

@IamAmericasidea @PU28453638 @yikes1276874161 Greatest economy on record, uplifting all classes. Record employment. Energy independence. No new wars. Kosovo war ended. ISIS ended. Abraham Accords. USMCA. NATO pays up. US military revived. The only thing Biden delivered? Sold his son to China

Holy Shit, Trump just posted this on Truth. 🔥🤣🤣 Trolling like never before!

@DortmundaBerlin @Coolnasenbaer Muss ja nicht sein. Die US-Army kann sich ja auch mit ihren anderen Spielzeugen vergnügen.

@Coolnasenbaer Die Amis haben ja schon mehrmals über einen Todesstern nachgedacht, ihn dann aber wegen den Kosten von 850 Billiarden Dollar doch nicht gebaut. scientificamerican.com/article/no-dea…

@secondfret Do you have any experience with virtualizing a card game in PlayingCards.io? I am going to try that for a legacy game (#tertiary" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">snrk.de/the-snark-rule…).

Playingcards.io is a fantastic open card game system where you can play anything you want. Open systems are so hard to design and they've done a great job.

@FranManns @MatthewTho36273 In the original book, the preface isn’t on the last page.

@MatthewTho36273 Politics explained in the Preface to "The Hunting of the Snark" The preface is on the last page. "Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes." The Bellman had it removed once or twice a week to have it revarnished and no one on board could remember which end of the ship it belonged to.

@svendbrinkmann I learned that a European ship with dentists would be welcome in Puerto Rico. Cc: @vonderleyen

Trump has decided to send a hospital ship to Greenland. Let’s send a library ship the other way. Fill it with Locke, Montesquieu, and books that are banned like Anne Frank, Harry Potter, and The Handmaid’s Tale. Deploy an army of librarians. The U.S. needs books on the ground.

#October25 20251025 150th Anniversary #OTD : On October 25th, 1875, Lewis Carroll decided to use “The Hunting of the Snark” as the title of his Snark tragicomedy. See also: snrk.de/150th-snark-an… and snark150 in the Blue Sky. #TheHuntingOfTheSnark #LewisCarroll #HenryHoliday

@PlaymobilUK By the way, Snark150 flaps its wings also in the blue sky.

@PlaymobilUK Now it's time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Snark. But are you afraid to touch Lewis Carroll's books in these snarked times? There is a lot to discover in Henry Holiday's illustrations. x.com/Snark150/statu…

Spooky hours = playtime unlocked 🎃👻

@PlaymobilUK You need something spooky? In the UK, already two of the three 150th anniversaries of "The Hunting of the Snark" (snrk.de/150th-snark-an…) went almost unnoticed. The last one is the most important one. How about a Playmobile Snark hunting party? x.com/Snark150/statu…

@PlaymobilUK Whoops, "Playmobil", not "Playmobile". Sorry.

@PlaymobilUK Besides the 9 (not 10) Snark hunters, there also are "Care" and "Hope". Henry Holiday introduced them to Lewis Carroll.

@PlaymobilUK The Snark itself only appeared in "The Barrister's Dream" (#fit6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">snrk.de/snarkhunt/#fit6). snrk.de/page_the-barri…

@PlaymobilUK In the end, as in many ends, is the Boojum.
