Among all designers listed for the top 400 BGG-ranked games: 540 (92.6%) are white men 24 (4.1%) are BIPOC men 0.5% are white non-binary 2.7% are white women
I think the best way to do it is to pick a sample of games and actually look the designers up. @tpobuda.bsky.social did this ~5 years ago and made this chart. Numbers would be different now (for ex @connievdc.bsky.social has had 2 games enter the top 400) but probably close.

“Welcome to hell”
We spoke to 16 Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. This is the most complete view yet of the conditions they faced — which, some experts said, may violate conventions against torture.

Hey #Canada, are you feeling a little ...angry about the way a certain 🍊politician talks about us and our beautiful country?
Us too.
#Canada has the best people and #music in the world. We wrote a trilogy of #gamebooks designed to celebrate the glory that is #Canadian 80s, 90s and classic music.

100% He also seems like a genuinely kind and decent man.
I hope you've been doing great, I so appreciate your work.
I've been spending more time on #LinkedIn of late, trying to be an enfant terrible, raining hellfire down upon the nightmare #MAGA administration.
It is my patriotic duty. 💪🏼
I love Josh Johnson, his comedic storytelling is just next level. The way he weaves together seemingly disparate stories... He's incredible.
The DOJ has digital tools to search 100,000 Epstein files in seconds, so why did 1,000 federal employees work 24-hour shifts to flag Trump’s name?
Because it’s not about finding the truth. It’s about controlling the narrative.
If there’s nothing to hide, release the files.
🎲📗My partner, I have been watching Coffee With Kilroy for a while now and so we were THRILLED to see this overview of #LockdownLudonaut's book, The Summer Job.
⛱️This accessible Choose-Your-Own Adventure style book is perfect for solo summer gaming. Perfect for the beach.

With Cancon in the news these days, there’s a new book on the subject. June 10, 2025 Alan Cross The Canadian Government and the CRTC are finally looking at the definition of Canadian content for the digital age. The last time anyone seriously talked about this was in 2005 (when nothing was done) and before that, 1996 (before the internet took hold). Add in the debates over Bill C-11 (which would require streamers to chip in for Canadian content development and news coverage), Cancon is going to be in the news a lot for the balance of the year. Derek Schraner has a new book on the subject which is part of a trilogy of books on Cancon–but it’s not a stuffy academic book. Instead, it gamifies things in an interesting way. Here’s Derek talking about Operation CanCon: Canadian Classics Music Shopping Gamebook.
🤯🎹🍁Okay... THIS IS A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE DEAL!!! One of #Canada's leading Canadian music luminaries, DJ, author and creator of the Ongoing History of New Music, Alan Cross, just gave #OperationCanCon a shout out!!!!

💜This is a beautiful tribute. I'm heartbroken to see this news.
Juliette Powell reading a magazine in MuchMusic studios.
🧵Just heard about the death of #JuliettePowell.
Stunned...
I was just messaging someone how she was a major influence on our musical tastes in the #1990s, not only expanding the reach of dance music with #ElectricCircus, but giving more exposure to Francophone music through #FrenchKiss...
🎎📚This gamebook was created after YEARS of studying #ChooseYourOwnAdventure and #interativeFiction, and determining what works and what doesn't.
🗾The result was one of the best Choose Your Own Adventure narratives I've ever read. 👍🏼

Fewer international tourists are visiting the U.S. - economic losses could be 'staggering,' researchers estimate PUBLISHED WED, MAY 28 2025.6:00 AM EDT I UPDATED WED, MAY 28 2025.12:59 PM EDT
100% I haven't set foot in the U.S. since 2016. I've turned down speaking opps, a fully paid for trip to #MIT, guest lectures, etc.
I will not go to the #USA for any opportunity or for any amount of money. It isn't safe. It isn't right.
The world agrees with us.
No one should be travelling the the U.S. It is a horror show there.
100% I worked for an #AI education company and they were absolutely cheap human labour to fake their #AI. (Me, I was the cheap labour).
It was the saddest thing, and radicalized me. #Fauxtomation is everywhere.

100% This. I went to grad school in my 40s, after a career in #hightech #healthcare. I was APPALLED by the culture of 'hope work' and unpaid labour in #academia.
What I have directly experienced, witnessed, I will never be the same.
After working in many sectors, I know #academia is the worst.
🔪🔪But wait there's EVEN MORE! [No, not Ginsu knives] This one is the deepest cut, it is #Canadian classics.
Save #Canadian culture, simulate shopping for #physicalmedia, roll dice and experience the #Canada of yesteryear
