At a Buddhist temple outside Hue, Vietnam’s onetime capital, 92-year-old Thich Nhat Hanh has come to quietly “transition,” as his disciples put it. The ailing celebrity monk—quoted by Presidents and hailed by Oprah Winfrey as “one of the most influential spiritual leaders of our times”—is refusing medication prescribed after a stroke in 2014. He lies in a villa in the grounds of the 19th century Tu Hieu Pagoda, awaiting liberation from the cyclical nature of existence.
We’ve entered a strange moment in history where every year feels somehow both a burning furnace of upheaval and recreation and a frozen monolith we are made to unwillingly re-encounter over and over. The images captured by TIME’s global roster of photojournalists over the course of 2022 reveal how deeply these two opposing trends penetrated society and public discourse this past year.
Photos showing the grief of the Uvalde, Texas community over the horror that occurred at a local elementary school on May 24, in which an 18-year-old man fatally shot 19 students and two teachers, highlight how gun violence and mass shootings continued to be one of the great failings of the American project in 2022.

From Fitbit to Jawbone, runners already have a range of wrist-bound options to keep track of their workouts. But Under Armour is betting that joggers and marathoners want data from another source, too: Their shoes.
The company is rolling out the Speedform Gemini 2, “smart sneakers” equipped with a computer chip that measures wearers’ distance traveled, stride length, and pace. Under Armour says the $150 sneakers’ tracking capabilities are more accurate than those of a treadmill.
But, the reality of what happens to the human body after being shot is much more complex and terrifying. A gunshot wound isn't just a hole in the body. When a bullet enters the body, it creates a path of destruction, damaging tissues, organs, and bones in its way. The extent of the damage depends on several factors, including the type of bullet, where it hits, and how fast it's travelling.

St. Lucia's son, who won the Nobel Prize/ Writes here (again) of sea-grapes, palms apostrophized,/ And lace-fringed oceans, bullrings, London streets,/ Barack Obama, arrowed sheets/ Of rain, and adds a sense of failing, loss/ His finest work since Omeros. Michael Elliott Next A Thousand Sisters

I spent three years among dogs with bloodlines like British royalty. In our world, they would be earls and duchesses. Their names are in stud books that go back countless generations. They are the product of centuries of careful breeding to make them the most perfect versions of themselves.
