TIME's Latest Cover is Just Messing with Us All

As if Election 2016 wasn't already bad enough...

TIME's Latest Cover is Just Messing with Us All
TIME Magazine

So if you haven't seen the latest cover photo of TIME Magazine, you need to.

And here it is:

Go ahead. Take a moment. Take it all in.

And yes, this is seriously the TIME cover for the week of November 14th.

I have so many questions about this cover. Which end is near?

Here are the options:

1. The Election

Let's be real. The 2016 Election has been something like never before. Full of controversy, arguments, Twitter beefs, and memes. All the memes.

But honestly, this drama doesn't end with the results on election night. They will continue until whoever is elected passes the baton to the next President. So with that logic, we have until January 20th, 2021 until all of this is officially over. I am just as upset about it as you are, but go ahead and brace yourself. In that case, I'm going to need the lies to stop, because the end is NOT near.

2. The World

Clearly, America is the laughing stock of the world right now. We have an election that has produced more comedic gold than actual policy discussion. Not to mention I am not sure I really want any future leaders to have access to the nuclear codes. So it is quite possible the end of the world will not end with a bang, but with all out nuclear meltdown. And I'm not sure I want that end to be near. But maybe that is just me.

3. 2016

I think at this point we can all agree 2016 has been just a terrible year. At the beginning of the year I thought I was just on the Struggle Bus alone. As we are approaching the end of the year, I realize that, nope, we are all on the bus and it's going downhill. FAST. So is that is what is coming to an end? The crazy as hell bus ride we've all been on for the past year? Because part of me is so okay with that, but also a little concerned with how we are gonna get to that point.

4. America's Sanity

Can we all agree we are just done with this election? Regardless of which side you stand on, whether you are voting or not, can we all just agree on that much? This election has just taken so much out of the American public. The constant name calling, drama, and just the overall annoyance of election season.


Regardless of what the ACTUAL message was for TIME's cover, I'm not liking any of the options.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
