Armando Iannucci has perfected the look of someone thinking "is that your THUMB you have just inserted between my buttocks?". Or maybe his next project is "Zoolander - The Twilight years".

Just listened to the Civil War chat - loved it.

It is *such* an interesting film.

Knowing nothing about it and assuming it was a sort of blockbustery thing, I decided to watch it on a flight for want of anything better to do.

I’ve been boring on about it ever since - I think it’s up there with all the great conflict films.

I was shocked to learn there are lots of "Hollywood celebrity" group chats -- successful actors, linked only by their fame, texting each other all day...

Famous people only trust other famous people, so I guess it makes sense

A few weeks ago you made a passing comment that you have no idea what Arwa Mahdawi role is at the Guardian but it seems she just writes about the US left wing social media obsession of the week (not your extact wording) and since then every time I see the headline for one of her columns I think of you

That one throwaway line might be the most truthful and devastating sentence you’ve ever written, my goodness what an embarrassing waste of space her writing is

The Nuremberg bit made me ugly snort in the quiet cafe I’m in.
