I agree, Tom. Time is gone with the ages. It is no longer relevant. 
Maybe they thought that by promoting the anti/hero (depending on your 
perspective of Facebook), they could gain Gen-X/Y/Z readership. Time 
mag is for their grandparents, not them. Time is something they read 
on their digital phone, not read on paper.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
