Just downloaded #ITVX and it's the biggest load of crap I've ever downloaded. Deleted instantly. Honestly, don't bother.
The standard ITV app is miles and away better. This just gathers info on you and has nearly zero functions to watch the way you'd like to watch.
Dreadful.
Sorry for the Happy Sunday toots. It turns out, it's Saturday! Oh well, I wasn't far off!

Empty Classrooms, Abandoned Kids: Inside The Great Teacher Resignation NYT Opinion
"This is failure by design. The education system is crumbling because America's politicians made it fail."
A near perfect summary, except for that fact that, after 98% of the runtime focusing on the very real, personal, and legitimate issues facing teachers, it ends by saying the teacher shortage is abandonment of kids.

There are few Black sexual assault nurse examiners. One university wants to change that.

@Florence I want to kiss this wee face so much.
That she may well respond with offended astonishment just makes me want to do it more. ๐
(When my Angora was a kitten, she'd lick my nose as a sign of affection. But if I kissed *her* nose, she'd look at me as if I'd done something baffling and vaguely rude.)
I just want to put out a winter warning to folk.
A few weeks back, I ended up being taken to the hospital with hypothermia. I honestly didn't even realise it was THAT cold.
Due to the tripling in energy bills here and the planned powercuts in the UK, beginning in January, I urge EVERYONE to plan ahead and to BE CAREFUL.
I have advanced cancer and have lost a lot of body fat and so get colder than usual, PLEASE try to stay safe and, if you feel unnaturally cold, PLEASE call 999.

@Florence Here in sweden the prices are rising alot to, we dont have much money in our household due to disabillities and whatnot. Goverment have been talking about financial relief for the extra costs, but only for the south? and if i remember correctly only rich people pretty much. We get colder up here, so I dont see the fairness in it.
I feel mostly sad for my parents, they live in a house. I think apartments gets warmer due to being stacked ontop of each other?

This is just the neatest #wildlife photo ever. It's not what it first appears to be. If you think this is a photo of black horses roaming, zoom in to see the real photo!
It's both eery and amazing!

The Imperial MAGA Supreme Court has become a RW insurgency against congress, individual freedoms, and federal and state powers. They're taking cases so they can consistently undercut the ability of any entity to do something the RW reactionary Justices donโt like.

This is too funny not to share. And the humor continues with some of the comments

@WeThePeople I am sick of the bad guys getting all the perks.
If the artist formerly known as 'Prince Charles' goes ahead with his inauguaration next year, or enthronement, or whatever it's called, the country should be livid.
It'll cost millions if not billions and yet most of us can't even put the heating on for fear of the cost.
It's shameful.
Sorry #CoSo, I think I've been a bit grumpy today! I've got a cold and now a banging headache (not covid fortunately) and I probably should have stayed offline to moan to myself!
No doubt I shall return to my more usual good humor shortly! xx
