Great list of Mardi Gras games from @boardgamegumbo.bsky.social: boardgamegumbo.wordpress.com/2026/02/17/m.... I love Big Easy Busking in particular. Not specifically Mardi Gras, but I also love French Quarter (and wore a Motor City Gameworks shirt this morning, so that counts!).
Mardi Gras Games To Play On…Mardi Gras!
Throw me some Mardi Gras board games, Mistah! BJ looks at some games that give off those Mardi Gras season vibes, including games from two local publishers who know their way around a parade.

Winter Olympics appeal could widen after first South American gold, from Lucas Pinheiro Braathen
Lucas Pinheiro Braathen won South America's first Winter Olympic gold. That could be quite good for the Games' business in the long run.

Had a blast testing out @andrewbrailey.bsky.social's "Waterways" prototype online this morning. Cool game about shipping in 1836 and the Panic of 1837. And neat to see how it's evolved since its @sdhistcon.bsky.social showings!

This feels deeply dystopian and also so ridiculous you can’t even satirize it.
Waymo, Google’s autonomous vehicle company, and DoorDash have launched a pilot program that pays delivery workers, at least in one case, around $10 to travel to a parked Waymo and close its door that a previous passenger left open, according to a joint statement from the company given to 404 Media.
Waymo Is Getting DoorDashers to Close Doors on Self Driving Cars
The companies have launched a pilot program in Atlanta, where “during the rare event a vehicle door is left ajar, preventing the car from departing, nearby Dashers are notified, allowing Waymo to get ...

This is a great read. Excellent work by Matt to get the UTEP AD's perspective on that mess and how it could have affected the school's teams.

If you thought you had a rough morning, say a prayer for the poor operations staffers at UTEP.

First it was the avocado toast, now it's the rotisserie chickens?
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

Sunday's Super Bowl LX was the second-most-watched ever despite "dud" comments about the defensive game, which had me thinking of how the '85 Bears 46-10 Super Bowl XX blowout win was the most-watched until 1993. More on that and defence in general (free post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/super-...
Super Bowl LX second-most-watched despite "dud" comments, prompting defence discussion and recalling the '85 Bears
While many argue dominant defensive games are duds, Super Bowl LX's ratings suggest that doesn't always hold true, even with measurement caveats.

Super Bowl ads get so much discussion, and have some merit even given their cost. However, the NFL regular season often has a better cost-per-viewer. Full analysis in a premium post at Bucholtz Sports Media, but I'll give the chart away: andrewbucholtz.com/posts/cost-p...
