Although surveilling journalists is commonplace in some parts of the world, it's happening more frequently in the United States, said Ted Bridis, a journalism instructor at the University of Florida. A former Associated Press investigative editor whose phone records were seized by the FBI a decade ago, Bridis said harassment of journalists is escalating, facilitated by a "new era of political divisiveness".

Vibe /gear ENJOY PERFECTLY HEATED COFFEE ON DEMAND If there's one universal truth about coffee, it's that you've got to enjoy it either piping hot or ice cold. Room-temp java doesn't have the same kick. You can add ice cubes to jazz up a cup of joe, but if you want it steaming, you need a fresh cup or the microwave. Not anymore with the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug. Not only will the mug keep your coffee hot, but it lets you set the drinking temperature that's perfect for you. It can maintain that temperature for up to 1.5 hours and can even sense when to turn on and off. You'll know your coffee is ready to sip by way of a smart LED that indicates when it's go time. No more getting up to reheat your drink while you're in the middle of something. Your coffee (or tea or cider or the beverage of your choice) stays at the perfect temperature. When you're finished, you can hand wash your Ember mug, then place it back on its charging coaster for your next little beverage break. Choose from 10oz or 14oz mugs in white, black, and gray and never suffer from cold coffee again … unless that's your preference, of course.

Most cryptocurrencies dropped tremendously, with some once thought the most reliable coins, such as Stablecoins, taking the hardest blow. The start of 2022 has particularly been terrible for cryptocurrencies, majorly due to the rapid rise of interest rates, inflation, and, to add insult to the injury, the Ukraine-Russia war.
