Evolving influence WHEN WE FIRST PUBLISHED OUR TIME 100 LIST OF the world’s most influential people 15 years ago, it was dominated by individuals who rose through traditional power structures: heads of state, CEOs of public companies, actors from big-budget blockbusters, leaders of global foundations. What has been striking about more recent editions is the growing number of individuals who did not need an establishment to command international attention—people like the Parkland, Fla., students who mobilized against gun violence (in 2018) and the climate activist Greta Thunberg (in 2019). TIME has always been a barometer of influence—and the nature of influence is changing. “Over the last three years, the quiet rumblings of generational change have become a deafening roar,” my colleague Charlotte Alter writes in The Ones We’ve Been Waiting…

FOR 44 YEARS, FAR-RIGHT PARTIES WERE anathema in Spain, thanks to the memory of Francisco Franco’s fascist dictatorship. But after elections on Nov. 10, ultraconservative Vox became the third largest party in the country’s legislature. Center-left Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez hoped the election, Spain’s fourth in four years, would break a parliamentary deadlock. But voter fatigue and nationalist clashes over the semiautonomous Catalan region gave Vox a boost and further fragmented the legislature—leaving Sánchez little to celebrate. SURGE TO THE RIGHT Vox politicians entered Spain’s parliament for the first time only in April, but the party more than doubled its seats this round, winning 52. That leaves them behind only the main center-right People’s Party (PP), with 88, and Sánchez’s Socialists (PSOE), at 120. Vox resembles other hard-right parties…

VIRAL VOYAGE Rapper Pitbull agreed in 2012 to perform at the Walmart with the most Facebook likes. Over 70,000 people liked the store in Kodiak, an Alaskan town of 6,000, in a viral campaign to “exile” the rapper. He honored the result. BOAT BALLOT A British research council asked the public to help name a polar vessel in 2016. Though the winner of the online vote was R.R.S. Boaty McBoatface, the ship is now named after broadcaster David Attenborough. RUSSIAN MEDLEY Russian talent show The Voice Kids annulled the result of its May 2019 final, won by the daughter of a wealthy businessman, after the broadcaster spotted thousands of fraudulent automated votes.…

LET’S PRETEND THE 195 NATIONS THAT SIGNED the 2016 Paris Agreement really do take all the steps necessary to limit the increase in global temperature to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. In that world, any children born today would grow up to witness some happy milestones. If they lived in the United Kingdom, they’d see their country phase out coal by the time they turned 6. If they lived in France they would see gas-powered cars eliminated by their 21st birthday. And any child born today would be just 31 when the world reached net-zero greenhouse emissions. But in the real world, the U.S. has already pulled out of the Paris Agreement, other nations are observing it only spottily, global temperatures are continuing to rise—and the health of children is…

‘People make mistakes, it doesn’t mean that they can never be forgiven.’DARA KHOSROWSHAHI, Uber CEO, comparing Saudi Arabia’s role in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi to a car accident, to Axios on HBO on Nov. 10; he later said he misspoke ‘It was a shrine or temple to us.’BURTON PRETTY ON TOP, Crow tribal adviser, on a 2,000-year-old bison killing ground damaged by coal mining, according to documents detailed on Nov. 9 by the Associated Press ‘We now have a Leave alliance.’NIGEL FARAGE, announcing on Nov. 11 that his Brexit Party will not run against U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives in the Dec. 12 election ‘TO UNDERMINE A PRESIDENT IS REALLY A VERY DANGEROUS THING.’NIKKI HALEY, former U.N. Ambassador, to CBS News on Nov. 11, on former Trump…

DIED James Le Mesurier Humanitarian pioneer AS A BRITISH ARMY OFFICER SERVING IN NORTHERN IRELAND and the Balkans, James Le Mesurier saw what can happen to civilians in conflict zones. So in 2014, he founded a humanitarian group, Mayday Rescue, to help build emergency-response capacity in such places—in part by training Syria’s White Helmets, who’ve been credited with saving thousands of lives there. The White Helmets, officially known as Syria Civil Defense, gained renown in 2016, when an Oscar-winning documentary showed volunteers targeted by airstrikes as they carried out daring search-and-rescue missions. In the miasma of Syria’s complex war—as the government attacked civilians, rebels coagulated under jihadist banners, and foreign states threw their weight behind disparate militias—the sight of ordinary Syrians risking their lives to drag babies from the…

The day after three mothers and six children were killed in northern Mexico on Nov. 4, photographer César Rodríguez arrived to chronicle the aftermath at their homes in La Mora. The victims were related—all U.S. citizens and members of a Mormon community that has lived there for generations—and officials said they may have been mistaken for rivals of the drug cartel that killed them. “They wanted this tragedy to be known,” Rodríguez tells TIME. “They wanted things to change in this country.” In this picture, loved ones of Christina Langford Johnson, one of the murdered women, watch as her body is carried away by helicopter.

Is there really any difference between being married and living together? If a new report from a nationally representative Pew Research survey of almost 10,000 Americans is to be believed, yes. For one thing, married couples reported more trust than the unmarried couples who cohabit. Two-thirds of spouses trusted their partners to tell them the truth; only half of the unmarried did. About three-quarters of married folks trusted their partner to act in their best interest, compared with fewer than 60% of the unmarried. And 56% of spouses believed their partners could be trusted to handle money responsibly, but only 40% of cohabitants felt the same. Married people were also less irritated by the usual chafing points—parenting, chores, work-life balance and communication. Sex, though, was a wash: 36% of married…

IT’S A BRISK SATURDAY MORNING IN NOVEMBER, and Amy Klobuchar is pondering the menu at a Sioux City, Iowa, diner where a dish of two buttermilk biscuits smothered in country-style gravy is listed among the “lite” breakfasts. The Minnesota Democrat usually goes for yogurt or a poached egg, she tells me, but today she orders two scrambled eggs with cheese, a side of toast with Smucker’s strawberry jam and a cup of coffee. She needs the extra fuel to get her through the next 12 hours: two campaign events, one caucus training, a three-hour drive back to Minnesota and some debate prep. Since launching her presidential campaign in February, Klobuchar, 59, has run a workmanlike race. “I figure you do the job in front of you,” she says, describing…

THE MODERN MIDDLE EAST WAS formed exactly 100 years ago when, in the wake of World War I, the victors began creating new countries. Among the populations deemed deserving of nationhood—along with Armenians and Azeris—were the Kurds. The Kurds had lived for centuries in the mountains and high plains where Mesopotamia becomes Anatolia and, with their own language, culture and identity, met the criteria for a nation of their own. Instead, the Kurds ended up within the borders of five other nations, a tapestry cut by a jigsaw. What photographer Moises Saman documents on these pages is that division playing out in three of the countries: Kurds in Iraq are giving refuge to Kurds from Syria, who have come under attack by the army of Turkey, the nation with the…

REVOLUTIONIZING BEAUTY EMILY WEISS | 34 By Alexis Ohanian I first learned about Emily Weiss and Glossier from the forum r/skincareaddiction on Reddit. I remember being floored by how fanatical these Redditors were—not only about Glossier and its products, but about Emily. These people felt connected to her as if they knew her personally. Emily is proof that you don’t need to have gone to business school to understand the fundamentals of community. She studied art in college and approached building a beauty brand with fresh eyes, and in doing so revolutionized product development, digital sales and the in-store experience. Although my investment firm, Initialized, is not one of Glossier’s investors, Emily’s ability to build such a fervent customer base is the kind of community-building we search for every day.…
