Five years ago today, The Antonov AN-225 Mriya visited Toronto during the pandemic to deliver an AN-225 sized shipment of PPE.
This was the first and only time I saw Mriya, and decided I would use a 16mm fisheye to try and capture a unique angle of Mriya.

Good on Murat Dizdar, NSW Education Secretary raising that provision of private schools needed to be “debated & discussed”!
Long overdue.
And their public funding reviewed
Instead Premier Minns again reverts to his socially regressive posture - extremely disappointing.

Concrete coast: vertical seawalls are snatching the beachfront - Michael West
Is pouring concrete a way of the rich getting richer? Vertical seawalls along the New South Wales coastline are extending the frontage of multi-million-dollar residential properties

Remember, "I don't know, I lack sufficient information on this topic" is NEVER an acceptable answer.
Instead, loudly state the first opinion that pops into your head, speak with authority, and gaslight anyone who disagrees until they begin to question everything they know.
