BEHIND THE COVER Photographer Miles Aldridge (in white shirt) spent hours working with Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey (from left, with a stand-in for Emilia Clarke, center) to get the perfect shot. Watch a few video highlights at time.com/gameofthrones SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT In “Uber Fail” (June 26), we misstated the amount of venture capital invested in U.S. startups last year and how that compared with the peak of the dotcom boom. The total was $59.1 billion in 2015, the most recent year for which data is available, and it was the highest amount since 2000. In that same issue, in For the Record, we mischaracterized the reasons some Puerto Ricans boycotted a referendum on U.S. statehood. Many of them supported maintaining…

‘IF THE WEATHER COOPERATES, STARS WILL APPEAR IN THE SKY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.’ —PAGE 14 PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S TRAVEL ban (government officials argue that it’s not a ban, but the President’s tweets beg to differ) is headed for the Supreme Court in one of the biggest cases of the upcoming October term. That is, if it doesn’t disappear—poof!—like an enchanted carriage at midnight. A bit of explanation: on his first weekend as President, Trump dropped a bombshell by issuing an Executive Order that sharply reduced the number of refugees allowed into the U.S., and cut off travel to residents from seven, mostly Muslim, countries. Chaos ensued. Travelers whose entry visas were valid when their flights took off found themselves barred by the time they landed. Family members…

OUT AND ABOUT A reveler takes part in the New York City Pride Parade on June 25. Thousands marched the two-mile route in lower Manhattan, which took them past the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of the modern LGBT-rights movement. Among the participants: reality star Kelly Osbourne, singer Sam Smith and Chelsea Manning, the transgender U.S. soldier who was in prison for leaking classified data before her early release in May. Photograph by Andres Kudacki—AP GOOGLE WAS FINED A RECORD $2.7 BILLION by European antitrust officials on June 27 for breaking competition rules by giving its own shopping service priority placement in search results and relegating rivals to where consumers were less likely to click. Here’s how that could affect Europe’s already fraught relationship with Silicon Valley. ANTI-AMERICAN BIAS? Google is…

Milestones The vessels in the world’s most prestigious sailing race are less like the boats parked at the local marina than wind-powered torpedoes that shoot across the sea and air at speeds topping 50 m.p.h. These souped-up catamarans are marvels of aerodynamic engineering, but it was a decidedly analog innovation that helped Emirates Team New Zealand capture the 35th America’s Cup, a 7-1 rout of Oracle Team USA in Bermuda. The team powered the boat with bike pedals, rather than the standard hand crank, and even added an Olympic cyclist to its crew. With the win, New Zealand avenged its painful defeat to the U.S. at the last Cup, in 2013, when the Kiwis blew a sevenrace lead in San Francisco. Oracle Team USA owner Larry Ellison chose to host…

‘ON ANY GIVEN DAY, MORE THAN 400,000 PEOPLE ARE HELD IN JAIL BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY THEIR FREEDOM.’ —PAGE 28 PERHAPS THE ONLY THING WE can agree on at this painfully divisive moment in our national history is that all this anger and derision in which we’re marinating isn’t healthy. Not for us, not for our kids and certainly not for the country. But as a nation, we can’t seem to quit. We’re so primed to be mad about something every morning, it’s almost disappointing when there isn’t an infuriating tweet to share or a bit of our moral turf to defend waiting in our phones. A few months ago a friend sent a group email about Fearless Girl, the statue of a young girl in a dress,…

IT’S NOT LIKE THE JOBS AREN’T THERE. The ice cream still needs scooping. A Tilta- Whirl doesn’t run itself. And that floppy, weirdly heavy rubber frog that somersaults toward the rotating lily pads? Hit or miss, someone’s got to bring it back to the catapult for the next lucky player. The work of an American summer remains, sticky and sweet as cotton candy, which doesn’t sell itself either. But when Jenkinson’s Boardwalk went looking for seasonal employees last year, the response was not at all what the company expected.To fill some 1,200 summer vacancies, an Easter-time job fair drew just 400 people.Applications did bounce up this year, but not nearly enough to reverse a grave trend that summer employers have noticed well beyond the Jersey Shore. “It is getting harder…

A GREAT POP SONG IS A GIMMICK BY DESIGN, not so different from a shiny fisherman’s lure. They don’t call it a hook for nothing. We think we’re in control when really, it’s the other way around. That’s how Edgar Wright’s jukebox thrill ride Baby Driver works too. In the opening sequence an unnervingly serene young getaway driver evades a clutch of cop cars while lost in his own personal earbud reverie. He’s got the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s 1994 fuzzed-out rave-up “Bellbottoms” dialed up on his iPod, and the music inside his head is in ours too. The kid’s got style, but we can see that he’s a little off—it’s probably not a good idea to linger in his brain. Still, how much could it hurt to stick around…

WHEN A CHARACTER HAS A NAME LIKE FRANKLINSAINT, you know he’s headed for a fall. That’s what happens on FX’s new drama Snowfall. Franklin (Damson Idris) has more potential than opportunity: unwilling to go to college and leave his mom (Michael Hyatt) behind in South Central Los Angeles, he quickly puts a clever mind to work distributing a crime boss’s stock of drugs throughout his neighborhood. That the whole story takes place in 1983 provides for musical and cultural references as overworked as the irony of Franklin’s name. As Franklin, Idris makes every beat in his journey from earnest kid to master of his own hellscape feel like a choice, carefully made, by a mind that’s not quite mature yet. And yet he shares the show with story lines about…

AS AN UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANT, JOSE ALMAGUER Hernandez lived his version of the American Dream. Married with children in Marietta, Ga., he found steady work, bought a home and paid his U.S. taxes. He was self-employed as a painter, working on the homes of his chiropractor and attorney, among others. His son Daniel, who was born in the U.S., was accepted to Georgia State University, where he majors in criminal justice and recently made the dean’s list. But without papers, Hernandez, 51, was not able to get a driver’s license in Georgia. So in 2013, after he was pulled over for a broken brake light, he was arrested for driving without a license and detained. Under the Obama Administration, this did not get him sent back to Mexico, even though he…

SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO I MADE A SONG, “Guilty Until Proven Innocent.” I flipped the Latin phrase that is considered the bedrock principle of our criminal-justice system, Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat. (The burden of proof is on the one who declares, not on one who denies.) If you’re from neighborhoods like the Brooklyn one I grew up in, if you’re unable to afford a private attorney, then you can be disappeared into our jail system simply because you can’t afford bail. Millions of people are separated from their families for months at a time—not because they are convicted of committing a crime, but because they are accused of committing a crime. Scholars like Ruth Wilson Gilmore, filmmakers like Ava DuVernay and formerly incarcerated people like Glenn…

The battle for westeros may be won or lost on the back of a lime green mechanical bull. That’s what it looks like on a January Monday in Belfast, as Game of Thrones films its seventh season here. Certainly no one believes the dragons that have thrilled viewers of HBO’s hit series exist in any real sense. And yet it’s still somewhat surprising to see the British actor Emilia Clarke, who plays exiled Queen Daenerys, straddling the “buck” on a soundstage at Titanic Studios, a film complex named after this city’s other famously massive export. Themachine under Clarke looks like a big pommel horse and moves in sync with a computer animation of what will become a dragon. Clarke doesn’t talk much between takes.Over and over, awind gun blasts her…

THE MINIONS ROSE TO FAME, LIKE TINY demented soda bubbles, in Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud’s glorious 2010 animated caper Despicable Me. Sadly, these little yellow capsules of devious (and sometimes deviant) behavior couldn’t carry a whole movie on their own. Wise critics almost unanimously decreed their self-titled 2015 spin-off outing a disappointment, though a sequel is still in the works. Thankfully, in Despicable Me 3—the third proper Despicable Me picture, this one directed by Coffin and Kyle Balda and co-directed by Eric Guillon—they’ve returned to their rightful place on the sidelines. Minions are at their best when they’re like the brazen miniature mischief makers sometimes found in the margins ofmedieval illuminated manuscripts. The stuff happening around them is reasonably entertaining too. Steve Carell returns as the voice of reformed…

J.K. ROWLING’S FIRST HARRY POTTER BOOK ARRIVED IN THE U.K. 20 YEARS AGO, on June 26, 1997. In honor of the anniversary, we set out to help readers re-create the same experience 11-year-old Harry has on his first night at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: putting on a magical hat to get sorted into one of four houses. There’s Ravenclaw for the studious, Hufflepuff for the loyal, Slytherin for the ambitious and Gryffindor for the brave (like Harry). Sadly, we could not conjure a real-life Sorting Hat. But we did work with social scientists at the University of Cambridge to build a Sorting Hat quiz, which assigns readers a house based on their responses to a research-backed personality test. To date, we’ve gotten more than 300,000 results from the…

IT’S THE CROSScountry trip of the century—for celestial bodies, that is. On Aug. 21, the moon will pass completely in front of the sun. And for the first time in nearly 100 years, its shadow will traverse the U.S. from coast to coast, making this eclipse one of the most highly anticipated and widely visible total solar eclipses in history. Although the entire country will be able to see at least a portion of the moon glide across the sun, the sweet spot (known as the “path of totality”) will be along a route that stretches from Oregon to South Carolina. This is where the moon will block all sunlight, leaving the ground below in darkness. Only during this period will it be safe to view the eclipse with the…

Imagine walking though a forest and getting literal bird’s-eye views, all without disrupting the environment. That’s the idea behind this treetop walkway, a proposed 1,969-ft.-long wooden ramp at the nature park Camp Adventure in Haslev, Denmark, which would be elevated on posts and steel supports. Its centerpiece: a winding observation tower (below), topping out at roughly 150 ft. to give people a panoramic view of the forest canopy around them. Architecture studio EFFEKT designed the footpath for the park, which said its new attraction will open in 2018.…

http://time.com/internet2017 2,183,869 Total number of edits Pruitt has made to the English-language Wikipedia platform (as of noon, June 27), at least 500,000 more than his closest colleague Steven Pruitt (a.k.a. Ser Amantio di Nicolao) Wiki wizard Amid a barrage of so-called fake news, the 33-year-old Virginian has emerged as one of the Internet’s most prolific guardians of fact. By day, he’s a contractor for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. But by night—or more realistically, whenever he has free time—Pruitt works as Ser Amantio di Nicolao, a volunteer editor for Wikipedia. (The user name comes from one of Pruitt’s favorite operas, Giacomo Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi.) Since 2006, he has made roughly 2 million edits to the massive online encyclopedia, more than any of his English-language contemporaries. Some of those changes involve…

IT HAS FAMOUSLY BEEN SAID THAT THE DEVASTATING 9/11 attacks were not a failure of intelligence but a failure of imagination. We simply were unable to conceive of al-Qaeda terrorists’ turning commercial aircraft into a sophisticated air-to-ground attack system, killing thousands and changing the course of world history. In trying to predict other looming disasters, we need to open the portals of our imagination, and—unfortunately—we should turn our gaze to the sea. Terrorists have largely used aviation and ground attacks over the past decades, most often choosing to conduct their operations with guns and explosives. They continue to be obsessed with the idea of downing commercial airliners and have done so several times since 9/11, including bombing a Russian airliner full of tourists flying back from Egypt in the fall…

Boko Haram kept Fatsuma’s daughter Fatima for a year and a half before she escaped. Now that she has been reunited with her family in a camp for people displaced by Nigeria’s war to defeat the Islamist insurgency, her mother says she doesn’t trust her. The 14-year-old retreats into silence for days, only to lash out explosively at the slightest disturbance. “We are afraid of her sometimes,” says Fatsuma, with an uneasy glance at her daughter sitting across the room. “When she came back from Boko Haram, she was different, hard-hearted.” Fatsuma believes it was because Fatima was forced to watch as Boko Haram fighters killed her brother in front of her, and was threatened when she cried. Fatsuma hasn’t seen her daughter cry since, but Fatima often wakes up…

For years, Kara Jefts lived with a terrible secret.When she met a guy, she wouldn’t reveal her last name until they had been on four or five dates. When she began a new job, she would immediately befriend the IT expert who could help her block hostile emails. When she spoke with a new boss, she would force an awkward conversation about her romantic history. Her secret was so terrible because it wasn’t a secret at all: for the past five years, nude photos of Jefts have been only one Google search, Facebook post or email away. Jefts is a thoughtful academic in her mid-30s, an archivist and art historian at a Chicago universitywho never intended for images of her naked body to circulate on the Internet. But in 2011,…

EVERY FEW MONTHS IN THE world of movies, there’s a small delight that nearly slips past notice. The Little Hours, an unapologetically anachronistic confection directed by Jeff Baena (Life After Beth) and based loosely— very loosely—on Boccaccio’s Decameron, is one of these. Aubrey Plaza stars as a restless medieval nun who’s less a holy roller than an eye roller. Everything about life in the cloisters annoys her, including a googly-eyed tattletale Sister (Kate Micucci) and a prissy rich girl (Alison Brie) who’s been parked in the joint by her father. The arrival of a strapping groundskeeper (Dave Franco) riles everybody. The Little Hours coasts along breezily on the oddball rhythms of its actors. The cast also includes John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon, who cap the whole crazy enterprise in…

ON MY RADAR S-TOWN PODCAST “I’m heavily into S-Town from the Serial creators. It centers on a lovely man with so much humanity. Someone should buy the movie rights.” IT’S AS TRUE NOW AS IT WAS IN THE 1980S. In order to have an effective made-for-television wrestling match, you need a good heel. That’s the character whose evil, or obnoxiousness, accentuates the hero’s strengths so the audience roots for the eventual champion all the harder. On Glow, Netflix’s new period series based upon the real-life league “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling,” Ruth Wilder takes that to heart. Ruth, played by Alison Brie (who was also perfectly, irritatingly offbeat as a housewife on Mad Men), is a person who can’t help but bring out the worst in others. A would-be movie star…
