    I will lecture! I will try not to hector! I may do the whole event strapped in to a lie-detector!
    What does it mean to write about US politics, media and culture from the outside? What is possible and what is out of bounds? Join us for a one-off lecture with @jessearmstrong1, creator of HBO’s Succession, as he reflects on these questions. 18 Apr | 7pm …hlibraryculturalevents.seetickets.com/event/jesse-ar…

    It's rebellion. It's sabotage. It's family. #SuccessionHBO premieres June 3 after Westworld.

    TOO MUCH. Unbelievable new signage at Gare du Nord for UK departures.

    I think Mark Corrigan would be disgusted Peep Show could be considered an acceptable Mastermind specialist subject.

    So wise. Churchill left seat unattended at Yalta 'to get a sausage'. Mao slipped in. End of British Empire.
    When I left Conference Room for short meetings with Japan and other countries, I asked Ivanka to hold seat. Very standard. Angela M agrees!

    Is the UK a rainy Puerto Rico? A think-a-thon about writing about the US from the outside:
    Succession is a show about the heart of US power, created by a non-American. Is that wise, or even legitimate? 📺 @jessearmstrong1 newstatesman.com/culture/2024/0…

    I wrote this for the TLS about Michael Lewis' Going Infinite. It is, unlike SBF, unlocked today.

    I've been wrestling with this lovely bastard for the last two years. We wrap on Wednesday. I have become incredibly weak.
    There is no time to be weak. From the director of The Big Short, #SuccessionHBO premieres this June.
