Jina Mahsa Amini mural: The city’s last-standing legal Free Wall along the 95 Street and 105 Avenue LRT exit portal is a place where aspiring street artists can hone their aerosol skills without worrying about a lookout.

Currently, the glowing nucleus of beauty is self-taught South Korean artist Busyrawk’s glorious tribute to Jina Mahsa Amini, who died post police brutality for refusing to wear a government-ordered hijab in Tehran. These walls are always impermanent, so make your way while it’s still around. See more of Busyrawk’s tremendous work on the nearby Bissell Centre and at Baiju.

Secret Invasion: Uneven like any Marvel offering, sure — yet the tense TV series surrounding a decades-long incursion of Earth by shapeshifting Skrulls is wickedly timed for both the rebooted Cold War and a reality where the truth is a plaything for the powerful. Samuel L. Jackson is at his peak here as a broken Nick Fury, and the show’s stakes are somehow more terrifying than Thanos’ glove. Last episode is this Wednesday, jump in!
