Ignore Time's End of Year Cover boy - Here's their 100 Most Influential People of 2024

I stopped when I got to Kelly Rippa.

I was hoping Cole Escola would be on it.

Fantasia, yes! I love that woman's spirit and perseverance.

looks like Ripa's publicists work pretty hard

This is the best Time could do? How sad is it that the "most influential" people in the world today are primarily people in show business? I'd say the PR firms these individuals employ are the real "most influential".

Looks like they put a lot of pop culture and POC names in a bowl and then just fished them out.

Icons, Titans, Pioneers, Innovators - I swear they must have had some Gen Z put this together. Very few meet the criteria for that word.

I would be embarrassed to work on this bullshit fluff.

A TITAN VERSUS A TITAN!

Could you imagine working at this magazine? Yeah - I work for a magazine that used to stand for something and be influential - now it's just here for legacy purposes. We don't offer anything different than a hundred other magazines or online websites.

Greg Abbott?

Not a lot of straight women on this list
