200g oven chips, about two tablespoons of ikea gravy with a little balsamic vinegar in it.m and about 50g each of the GIGABEL. Lightly flames the GIGABEL with a kitchen torch but it would work just as well under the broiler or in the microwave. Highest recommend.

These goobers. This is VERY familiar energy.
David Coronswet, a very tall man in a suit looks over his glasses into the camera. Rachel Brosnahan, a shorter woman with long dark hair looks into the camera. Coronswet looks serious and a little confused, Brosnahan looks impish. They're on the set of Superman, playing Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Next to them is the EA logo, the two letters in green surrounded by the wave audio wave form. A box of copies of Horse! Folks Customs of the British Isles by S. Cousins. The cover shows three supernatural horse costumes, one a riot of colour, one the skeletal white Mari Lwyd from Wales and one a dark coloured wooden headed horse wearing a bell. All three are sitting down to tea. A hare sprints across the countryside in front of a trailcam A pair of earrings on black card against a slate background.

mailchi.mp/66548a4ca9ec...
The poster for AdventureX 2025 shows a group of characters from various games, all clustered around. Men and women and a duck dressed like a hard bitten private detective with the title ADVENTUREX above them and 22-23 NOVEMBER 2025 beneath them. Against a beige background, the words HIGHGATE WOOD are written in curly rounded letters for the first word and harsh, precise text for the second. HIGHGATE is in green and wraps around WOOD in black. An arrow pierces WOOD. An 8-bit adventure game where you begin a new job working for a company building a wind farm and discover just how shallow their intentions are. The images shows your character, a white man in a shirt and tie holding a coffee mug, surrounded by red and yellow demonic faces.

#TheFullLid - 21st November 2025 - Happy Friday! We're talking Hanuman Project, from Friend of the Lid @stewarthotston.com , great art from the #transart hashtag, a link to a great translation project and some crime fighting magicians to heist us into the weekend.

mailchi.mp/1d89dfbc5e61...
Numbers fold vertically down a view of deep space centred on a colossal cloud of luminiscent green light and gas. Sanskrit is written over it as is the title PROJECT HANUMAN. The name STEWART HOTSTON is written on the bottom of the image. A digital illustration of the plush shark Blahaj, sticking out of a bag that is shaped like the iconic ikea bags, but patterned like the transgender flag, on a pink background. „Coming out” is handwritten underneath. Text reading FULLY FUND SECOND BOOK-LAST GOAL sits above a donation thermometer showing 44% of a $5000 goal. Beneath that text reads THE BENGITHI LIZOKUNA TRANSLATION IS FUNDED, BUT WE NEED TO CLOSE THE FUNDING FOR ZVINOBVINZA. HELP IS SO APPRECIATED... The lead characters of Now You See Me walk through and around the words of the title. It's an optical illusion, in the style of the tricks the suited, well dressed main characters do.
