It's become hugely dispiriting how frequently I'm having to contact other tabletop news sites asking that they -please- cite BoardGameWire as the source of the story they've just directly lifted, slightly reworded or run through ChatGPT before slapping it on their site without attribution.

Does replacing parking with bike-lanes hurt restaurant business? Of course not, as this new peer-reviewed STUDY of 15 years of Montreal data showed. ACTUALLY, downtown experienced significant restaurant growth after bike lanes were installed. @momentummag.bsky.social

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
In 2025, he made 1,794x more.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

I consider myself lucky to live here, it’s a wonderful model of change for other North American cities (so much of this is recent!), and I hope we’re successful in pressuring the new mayor to retain at least some of the momentum.
We’ve long felt Montréal is one of North America’s best kept cycling secrets, but it was reassuring to get a fresh perspective from our daughter and her partner this week. After spending the day rolling across the city on BIXI bikes, they returned with a clear verdict: “It’s even better than Paris.”

Canadians should avoid eating American food or drinking their milk. They have fired their inspectors who check for salmonella and their milk is full of steroids and other disgusting things. Their food is made to be cheaper but Canadian food is much safer. Food safety matters to Canadians.

“Cyclists want to be treated like cars but …”
Hold on buddy! The vast majority of cyclists do not want to be “treated like cars”.
They want infrastructure and design that’s bike-friendly, and which recognizes how cyclists differ from both cars and pedestrians.

I 100% agree. Ashes is really fun to play and the solo/coop experience is pretty close to the original 1-vs-1 mode. :)
Did I get this video under the 3 min Bluesky video limit? By 1 sec! 🎉🎉🎉
Join me as I talk about the latest release from @plaidhatgames.bsky.social which gave me the perfect excuse to gush about Ashes. Big kudos to the team keeping this great game going and to Nick Conley for shepherding it so well.

Over the years, I've 🎲✂️ many Brumble Games and it has helped my design/developer skills immensely. Most of them will never be played by anybody besides my friends, but I heartily recommend doing small designs without a product in mind.
