Is the UK a rainy Puerto Rico? A think-a-thon about writing about the US from the outside:

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

Succession is a show about the heart of US power, created by a non-American. Is that wise, or even legitimate?

I will lecture! I will try not to hector! I may do the whole event strapped in to a lie-detector!

[Eccles Institute for the Americas & Oceania @ BL @BL_EcclesInst]

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.

I wrote this for the TLS about Michael Lewis' Going Infinite. It is, unlike SBF, unlocked today. https://t.co/oSa4LwIn5w

[BFI @BFI]

[HBO @HBO]

Full fucking beast.

#Succession premieres October 17 on @hbomax.

[hbo max fka @streamonmax]

Are you part of this family or not?

@Succession returns this fall on HBO Max. #Succession

[Hockney Unlocked @HockneyUnlocked]

In this first film, as I was following him drawing the trees, I wondered how much the Hockney line is something conscious or innate - or somewhere in between, like a signature which is at first consciously developed but then becomes automatic.

[Pitchfork @pitchfork]

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

@NicholasBritell is a polymath genius and you can now buy new product that records this fact for posterity.

[HBO @HBO]

@PatRowles Hey thanks Pat. Best to you.

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

How’s the Peep Show edit going? No clue. Director Becky Martin makes me ‘watch’ like this.

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

@CandiceC_W They're magic, they make everything look like sort of 1950s Rome.

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

@emhatt Hey thanks Em! x

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

@mattgreencomedy Thanks Matt - very kind, best to you.

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

At S2 Succession’s end a 280 character salute to my fellow ep writers: Jon Brown, Tony Roche, @georgiapudding, @williamtracy, @SusanSoonHe, @JonathanGlatzer, Mary Laws. And room dynamo @lucyprebblish. Aided and abetted by @Shteyngart, Alice Birch, @cordjefferson, & Lucy Kirkwood.

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

@IanMartin If we're the pantheon, you're the bloody parthenon! (I don't precisely know what this means - it is meant to convey thanks and reciprocal admiration).

[Jesse Armstrong @jessearmstrong1]

@Charliecondou Thanks Charlie!
