Noch schafft es die hier benutzte KI nicht, Lewis Carroll's Gesicht richtig darzustellen, von den Händen ganz zu schweigen. 😉

We live in the era of the Boojum. It’s not the first time in human history, but today even an individual sociopath can do more harm than the kings of the past.

«“Transportation for life”; was the sentence it gave,
“And then to be fined forty pound.”
The Jury all cheered, though the Judge said he feared
That the phrase was not legally sound.»

I think it's apocryphal as well.

Nonsense literature allows the author and the reader to give a book more than one meaning. But there might be one meaning favorized by the author.

It all started with "The Hunting of the Snark".

The more people post Carroll misquotes and misattributions on Bluesky, the stronger the evidence is that Bluesky is becoming popular. 😉
I don't hate these people. Nevertheless, snrk.de/some-texts/#... might help to check Carroll quotes.

Depends on what “working” means. E.g. for the search function there is lots of space for improvements.

Perhaps Darien Graham-Smith' paper (summary: snrk.de/contextualis...) might help you (and other readers of this thread) to verify some popular assumptions about the Alice books and other writings by Lewis Carroll.

He didn't know LSD because there was no LSD then.
For interpreting the whole story (Alice etc.), I recommend Darien Graham-Smith' "Contextualising Carroll: The Contradiction of Science and Religion in the Life and Works of Lewis Carroll", 2005, summary: snrk.de/contextualis....

The relation between the felon and the bald eagle is a bit tense.

Nice pic. But the quote is not by Lewis Carroll.
snrk.de/some-texts can help to check quotes.

Yes, because there is no evidence that Lewis Carroll had access to LSD in the 19th century.

Evidence please.

That’s no evidence either.

All this is no evidence that LSD was available in Lewis Carroll’s era.
There also is no evidence that he needed l laudanum for constructing his writings.

LSD in Carroll’s lifetime?

I am curious with what kind of verdict Andry Romero Hernandez will be charged in the USA before he can be released from prison.

«‘No, no!’ said the Queen. ‘Sentence first—verdict afterwards.’
‘Hold your tongue!’ said the Queen, turning purple.
‘I won’t!’ said Alice.»

«Sandoval-Moshenberg [Ábrego García’s lawyer] also said: “This shows that they were playing games with the court all along. Due process means the chance to defend yourself before you’re punished – not after.”»

Might not be exactly what you want, but it's a good paper about Carroll's writings: Darien Graham-Smith (PhD thesis), Contextualising Carroll: The Contradiction of Science and Religion in the Life and Works of Lewis Carroll, 2005

Heads up!
Is the Victorian Opera aware of the coming 150th anniversaries of "The Hunting of the Snark"? Anybody there who remembers @mikebatt.bsky.social's musical?

Suspected criminals have the right to get e fair trial. But in the US even the President doesn’t understand.

Artists don't suffer from all kinds of pareidolia. Instead of suffering, they rather enjoy it as a gift and know how to play with it. In the illustrations to Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" you can find an example for Henry Holiday's cat pareidolia: bsky.app/profile/munt...
