Brian Cox’s Logan Roy might resemble Rupert Murdoch, but “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong swears his HBO characters are NOT based on the 21st Century Fox/News Corp. first family. This, despite the fact that Armstrong is the guy who wrote the famously un-produced “Murdoch” screenplay, which has appeared on Hollywood’s Black List. When asked by a reporter how much his script about the real media moguls leaked into this new TV series, Armstrong said it only existed “deeply in the background.” “This is a fictional family,” he emphasized.

It's a nasty Bay Area flu season for humans and four-legged companions alike this year.

Plenty of people have forgotten what happened after The Catch. But Dwight Clark isn’t among them. On Tuesday, during a lunch with Bay Area sportswriters, including The Chronicle’s Scott Ostler, Clark didn’t have to be prompted to spread the credit for the 49ers’ 28-27 win over Dallas in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 10, 1982. After Clark’s historic touchdown with 51 seconds left, the next two snaps from scrimmage featured huge defensive plays... Читать дальше...

The Pacific Ocean, which loses few arguments, won another one on Thursday in Pacifica. A giant yellow excavator gobbled up a cozy two-bedroom cliffside house, the last one on the west side of the imperiled 500 block of Esplanade Avenue, and spat out the pieces in a neat pile to be hauled off to the dump. The homeowners stood and watched, dry-eyed. Rage and disbelief were long gone. Months ago, they had moved on to the final stage of the grieving process — acceptance. Читать дальше...

HONG KONG — Michael Wolff’s book about the Trump administration has been getting mixed reviews from critics and others, but it’s finding fulsome praise in one corner: North Korean state media, which says the book’s popularity “foretells Trump’s political demise.” The book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” has apparently made its way to the so-called hermit kingdom, giving more ammunition to a North Korean government already in a raging propaganda war with President Trump.

GAJAH MAKMUR, Indonesia — This small agricultural village in the hills of Sumatra island, in the province of Bengkulu, is a testament to happy days in human-elephant relations: When the village — whose name translates to “Prosperous Elephant” — was founded in 1991, residents nursed an injured wild elephant back to health until it one day disappeared into the forest, never to be seen again. But when wild elephants raided, villagers organized into brigades and used everything they could gather ... Читать дальше...

The depth to which “Star Wars” has invaded our culture is, at times, a little insane. Disney’s new slate of films means there’s a huge amount of advertising, media tie-ins, and product crossovers. It’s kind of impossible not to have “Star Wars” in your head. That might explain what happened to one Reddit user who started writing a math equation, and heard the Mos Eisley Spaceport “Cantina Theme” from “Star Wars: A New Hope” in the sounds his pencil was making. It sounds a bit ridiculous, but Redditor... Читать дальше...
