Should I even bother hatetweeting the Time 100 Most Influential this year? I think it's been well-established how absurd and insular it is.

Like, I just searched for "Bill Gates" to see if he was on the list... and he was! But only because he wrote the entry for how *Roger Federer* is one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

ffs, PUTIN is not on the list of 100 most influential people. In TIME's thinking, he just got edged out by the guy from The Big Sick

If anything TIME's most influential list does damage to liberal causes. Allows people to pat themselves on the back and say, "why yes, 20% of the most influential people in the world are black and half are women, look how far we've come"

A list of the ACTUAL most influential people in the world would be a sobering wake-up call. "Gee, it's uh, basically entirely rich white, Arab, and Asian men, with a smattering of elected women."
