Time Magazine is being sold by Meredith Corp. to Marc Benioff, a co-founder of Salesforce, and his wife, it was announced Sunday.
Meredith announced that it was selling Time magazine for $190 million in cash to Benioff, one of four co-founders of Salesforce, a cloud computing pioneer.
Meredith had completed the purchase of Time along with other publications of Time Inc. earlier this year.
The Benioffs are purchasing Time personally, and the transaction is unrelated to Salesforce.com, where Benioff is chairman and co-CEO and co-founder. The announcement by Meredith said that the Benioffs would not be involved in the day-to-day operations or journalistic decisions at Time. Those decisions will continue to be made by Time's current executive leadership team, the announcement said.

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like 2016, but I would have to agree to an interview and a MAJOR photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!
You know, Time Magazine, they were both nice and a little bit wise guy in 2016. They gave me the "Person of the Year." It used to be the "Man of the Year." Now it's "Person of the Year." That's good. They're politically correct. They were very politically correct.

If you knew how rare a bad Spam mod was, you'd know why I'm about to mod you Funny. We have had more than our usual share of them this month though. Almost half a dozen.

Thank you, TMB!!! And thank you for taking away Spam Mods. If that was you. Big waste of your time. Because Spam Modding doesn't work. As I've said many times. You've got this person doing the baby rape tweets, the child rape & murder tweets. That nobody wants to see. That one gets so many Spam Mods. But she -- or he -- keeps tweeting. Possibly to make it hard for other folks to tweet!!!

Oh we know exactly who's doing those posts. We haven't done anything about them because the community member posting them is keeping them to a tolerable level that's better handled via moderation. If it gets to a level where we have to get involved it'll entail badness for all their registered accounts as well; they'd basically be ruining their own fun.

You thought it was me. Back in February. Sounded like, you thought it was me. Like you thought, "oh, that's gotta be Donald J. Trump, he loves to rape & murder babies" (I don't). You didn't say that, maybe you were thinking that. And decided those were my tweets. 100% WRONG. And possibly you still think it's me, possibly you're telling me that in a very NICE way. Sounds nice, it's still wrong. Or, possibly you decided it's somebody else. But you were wrong in February. You thought you knew, you didn't know. So I wonder if you really know now. And if you don't know, the cyber doesn't know. The cyber, the AI is VERY DUMB. You had a story at the beginning of the month about, "AI Sucks." Where it can't tell, is this person wearing clothes or not? You wear a pink shirt -- in Florida I wear pink -- the AI decides you're naked. And somebody said, the baby rape person WANTS a lot of Spam Mods. Because the cyber can't tell that person from anyone else. So other folks get banned. Because the IP Karma doesn't just go to that one person. You said yourself, there's a bunch of accounts. That you think are one person. Maybe they are and maybe they aren't. And you're talking about, you can ban a bunch of accounts. Which, you absolutely can. But then, the baby rape person wins!!!!

I'd suggest having a wood shed build out past the rose garden then, so you can take Barron out to it.

I was talking about taking a belt to his ass as punctuation to a lecture about being a little shithead on the Internet. You should see someone about that rape fascination you have going there. I mean, as rich and powerful as you are, you should basically be able to just go up to a woman and grab them by the pussy.

My sons are wonderful young men. I've always given them the best -- best nanny (very gun-adept), best schools, best everything. I guarantee you it's not them tweeting.
But maybe it's someone in my Administration. We're looking very hard for the VERY DISLOYAL person that wrote that horrible editorial.
Don't fall for the Dem con game. For their big, fat con job. Look what they're doing to Brett, one of the highest quality people that I have ever met. These are false accusations. If they get away with that, it can happen to any of us!!!

What a bizarre sight. Having never witnessed something so strange before, little Eric could only stare blankly as the man slithered towards him. Yes, that's right: "slithered."
A man was lying face-first on the sidewalk and somehow slithering towards the boy like a snake. This man, who was bald and obese, did not appear to be in any pain, despite the fact that he was sliding across rough cement. Just what was going on here? As little Eric was pondering that very question, he did not even notice that the man's head had bumped into his feet. Then, in accordance with the man's iron will, everything changed.
Several separate but simultaneous changes happened in an instant. One, Eric's body was instantly repositioned such that he was lying face-first on the sidewalk. Two, all of Eric's clothing vanished. Three, Eric could no longer move, as if he was paralyzed. Startled by these sudden events, Eric barely noticed that the man had slithered on top of his body. Or, at least, he didn't notice until it entered his body...
"No! Stoooooooooooop! It huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurts!" Eric screamed. A hard, thick object had entered the boy's anus. This object was rapidly being slammed into and then pulled out of Eric's hole. Even the word "brutal" would be an understatement here; it was as if the kid's anus was being torn apart, to the point where it was bleeding profusely. Although the boy screamed for mercy, the man said nothing and simply continued pumping.
Yes, he pumped. The man pumped even when Eric screamed. The man pumped even when Eric sustained several anal fissures. The man pumped, until everything was squirted inside. And then, it was over.
For a moment, and even though he was still in massive pain, Eric was relieved. Perhaps the man had finally been satisfied, and he would leave the boy alone. Indeed, the man had no further interest in Eric, having utilized the boy thoroughly. However, as the man was slithering off of Eric's body, the kid's head snagged on one of the man's many fat rolls and his neck snapped instantly. That was the end of little Eric.
The man slithered into the sunset without a care in the world. His destination was a world in which freedom prevailed. For without freedom - without men's rights - all would be lost.
