In these snarked times, let's celebrate the 150th anniversary of "The Hunting of the Snark". I'm here not too often. Snark150 flaps its wings in blue sky.

#TheHuntingOfTheSnark To be read in public. https://t.co/8bpAfv9JLq
Just heard a wellness coach say something that floored me: âReading in public isnât just personal, itâs political. Itâs modeling deep attention for a generation that rarely sees it. Itâs resistance against an economy that benefits from your distraction.â

@PlaymobilUK You need something spooky? In the UK, already two of the three 150th anniversaries of "The Hunting of the Snark" ( https://t.co/si5KjuczdY) went almost unnoticed. The last one is the most important one. How about a Playmobile Snark hunting party? https://t.co/jzWFyqFJfP
#OTD, on 27 January 1832, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was born. 150 years ago, his tragicomedy âThe Hunting of the Snarkâ was published under Dodgson's nom de plume âLewis Carrollâ. Below you can see his nine Snark hunters depicted by the illustrator Henry Holiday.

@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" ( https://t.co/t71XV9FIg0).

@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.

In November 2025, the Grokipedia article was a copy of the Wikipedia article: https://t.co/HSpgtXRS99. The new Grokipedia article about "The Hunting of the Snark" is an example for the bad quality of the Grokipedia.

The Hunting of the Snark, subtitled An Agony, in Eight Fits, is a poem by the English writer Lewis Carroll. It is typically categorised as a nonsense poem. Written between 1874 and 1876, it borrows...

The article on "The Hunting of the Snark" in the Grokipedia has changed. There are many links to my Snark blog https://t.co/sP4PrmU03H. But now references from the Wikipedia to GĂŒnther Flemming, Karen Gardiner and Goetz Kluge (that's me) are missing.

(2/3) This year marks the 150th anniversary of The Hunting of the Snark, making the exhibition a timely chance to reflect on Carrollâs imaginative legacy and the artists who helped shape his worlds.

@ChCh_Oxford In "The Hunting of the Snark", Lewis Carroll dedicated quite a few lines to the explanation of what a portmanteau is. There is a reason for that. But since 150 years almost no reader payed attention to that. The "Boots" is the "maker of Bonnets and Hoods".

At the end of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark", the "Baker" gets baked: https://t.co/puRaVCzFc8

@meh_just_a_guy The term "snark" is older than Lewis Carroll. It already has been used in the 16th century ( https://t.co/XAxRkxqEpg). But "Boots" might be an important portmanteau in Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's "The Hunting of the Snark" ( https://t.co/XmtP8aIdh1).
