okay tech/office supply people, I need some help with something. My favourite headphones are corded, and I'm looking for an audio interface I can plug into my macbook and/or iPad that I can plug my headphones into and control the audio levels with a dial or whatever. Does such a beast exist?

No “it’s not REALLY a comedy!” discourse has confused me more than the “Widow’s Bay isn’t a comedy” discourse. Few shows have made me laugh as much as that one and from a wide variety of joke types!

ACORN organizer Ryan Endoh is up to speak, talking about issues with 500 Dawes Rd., on which he'd been unable to get traction with the local councillor, Bradford, but on which he was able to get the mayor to take action.

Mayor Olivia Chow is giving a barn burner of a speech. Talking about how much she loves the city. “Our city made me who I am today: An immigrant kid from St. James Town who grew up to be your mayor. Public spaces and services make our city great.” #Toronto

This Luc Rinaldi story is so good. The night Olivia Chow was elected, a bunch of conservatives (including Brad Bradford) found themselves at the bar, commiserating and strategizing. The group that emerged, ABC Toronto, is now trying to reshape Toronto politics. thelocal.to/abc-toronto-...

Really fucking dissapointing on the media coverage so far. They’re doing a negative spin and doing the “both sides” approach and focusing on the few concerns people have… When in reality it’s 90/10 support and that’s even being generous to the opposition.

I deeply appreciate that Zelenskyy refers to these drone strikes as "long-range sanctions."
@ZelenskyyUa
Our warriors are carrying out the long-range sanctions plan in response to Russia dragging out the war and continuing its attacks. Recent days saw important successful strikes on facilities supporting Russia's oil sector and sustaining its war policy.

SSU warriors struck two oil depots – one in Stavropol and the other in Tver. Both are about 500 kilometers from the front line. Units of Ukraine's Defense Forces also struck a reserve fuel storage facility located about 800 kilometers from the front. An oil pumping station in Russia's Ufa, nearly 1,500 kilometers from our border, also came under sanctions. An oil loading terminal in the Rostov region, about 200 kilometers from the front line, was sanctioned as well.

I thank all our warriors who make results like these possible every single day. We offered Russia a way to end this war long ago, and every day it chooses to prolong it should bring the reality of war back to where it began – to Russia.
