If you or a friend has a PS5 with a PS Plus Premium subscription, you can trial the game for two hours. Your progress will transfer over if you decide to buy, but that's as close as you're going to get to a demo I think.

Yes! It's been a long day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's five episodes out so far, but another four are planned.

 

The series covers The Big Dig in Chicago and related stories from around it. Super interesting to hear how residents fought back against plans to destroy their community with freeways and some of the alternative plans which were put forward. Worth a listen if you're interested in infrastructure, but it has historical and political elements too.

 

A new housing development outside Phoenix is looking towards European cities for inspiration and shutting out the cars. So far residents love it - The Guardian

It's listed on their official update video so it does exist. But it says "on compatible devices and countries" so might only be on the newest phones so far?

The article summariser is such a fantastic addition!

I wouldn't go as far it's them saying being gay is okay, but they're claiming all queer people can come and be active members of the church. The issue is that they're saying that while simultaneously treating LGBTQ+ people as ~~second~~ third degree citizens. They are "welcoming" us while also refusing to see us as equal and still claiming homosexuality is ungodly. It's the bullshit cries of a cult in its death throes.

Is it progress though? It's easy for them to talk the talk, but they don't appear to be doing anything to walk the walk. This is lip service, at best.

Yeah, I, as a queer person who grew up in a Catholic country, always felt very welcome
