In theory, the annual TIME Most Influential List is basically just a hundred humans being big-talked by their mates. In practice, it’s a solid run-down of people who are getting shit done – it just so happens their mates are probs champions as well.
Seriously. Cop this description of Adele, as written by Jennifer Lawrence:
“But what you don’t see is what a wonderful mother she is. What a wonderful partner and friend she is. That she makes her son’s Halloween costumes.
Adele is a gift, an international treasure, but she’s also sweet, funny, intelligent and beautiful. Bitch.”
“I’m in awe every time I see Stephen Curry play. He combines a never-before-seen skill set with the panache and flair of a great performance artist…Lucky for us, he’s just getting started.”
Howsabouts a blow-by-blow of Aziz Ansari, by Broad City themselves, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer? Or, praise for Kendrick Lamar from Black Lives Matter’s Alicia Garza?
Politics, understandably, is well-represented. Trump. Sanders. Clinton. Merkel. Trudeau. Obama. Putin.
The Gates praise the public faces of Facebook for “committing 99% of their wealth to taking on challenges like improving education, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.
Changing the world once was not enough for them. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do in the decades to come.”
“She’s an icon, a boss and a role model to all these young girls out here on how to do it the right way. Her work ethic speaks volumes and has yielded these results.The scary thing is she’s still going.”
