hi @celebrityhottub.bsky.social and @edsbs.bsky.social and anyone curious about the book after listening to fullcast this week -- we only made 202 copies of the book originally and have some stuff to figure out with wider publication later this offseason, which is why no one can buy it yet.

Calgorithm Blueskyers, we are amid a rabid donation campaign to Ron Rivera and Justin Wilcox's discretionary fund and have pledged over $13000 in a little under a day, with the aim of $25000, which would guarantee program acknowledgment. Can you help? give.berkeley.edu/fund/FU1017000

No worries; it's just a common point of discussion among many - the reply can feel targeted but it is addressing the sentiment on my end. Thank you Calgorithm BlueSkyers, continue to spread the glory and splendor 🫡 I will see you soon.

That's right, Ms. Lapachet. 🫡

I'm not gonna get pulled into this each time - there is a practical and cultural value (unfortunately) to staying on Twitter and we will continue to conduct operations there too. I am not knocking any of your choices. Please respect what ours. All the platforms matter.

This is why I came to BlueSky to check how Cal fans were feeling. On Twitter I am working on -- as much as I can -- generating buzz, keeping people afloat, and coming to support this thing. And to not be scared in this way. We can achieve a lot.

I know the BlueSky culture is going to develop on its own and I'm not tapped in here but I hope we all find it in us to enjoy this, and support it fully. We're about to do something special.

So, did everyone have a good time watching the California Golden Bears?

We finished a book about the Cal Bears. Heading to the printers very soon (Rob is finalizing design)

Calgorithm Vol 1 is in its final stages. No more updates until we ship.

if you want to purchase a copy of Calgorithm, Vol. 1, it releases 8/23; you can get one by venmo at aguynamednam: $10 - PDF $25 - Physical; pick it up at the launch party or the tailgate at homegames. I can also ship. Proceeds go back toward the community fund for tickets. I'm not profiting.

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social just wanted you to know we're two weeks from launching this thing forreal

Calgorithm Vol. 1 launch party in Berkeley, August 23rd.

Last fall, ESPN's Bill Connelly asked me to talk about fandom in this new realignment era for his upcoming book, "Forward Progress: The Definitive Guide to the Future of College Football". The Calgorithm story is a chunk of chapter 9, which I am excerpting with his blessing. Hope I did us proud.

just a few updates on this for the bluesky side: -if you're still submitting, the hard deadline is August 8th -i will have a PDF available for purchase by the Oregon State game and hard copies at the first tailgate (details on suggested cost to come) -purchase price will be donated to cal athletics

Calgorithm ex-pats: a life announcement -- with all of the *everything* happening right now, Alli and I decided to formally adopt kittens. These are Kenny and Mila (we kept the shelter names).

in december we released four pieces to give people a preview of this -- the stories our community has been waiting to tell. now's your chance to join such legends as rex volcano and the guy who got arrested on the field at auburn docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hello #Calgorithm (ex-pats, friends, allies, observers and enemies) -- I am resuming work on a collection of stories from last season, in hopes of getting them finalized and printable for you from home before we kick off 2025. We are taking submissions here: forms.gle/TmKodUinakiY...

I've got: The Matrix, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Princess Bride, and Everything Everywhere All At Once Honorable: Fast Five, Pacific Rim

the turnover is all of course great for student-athlete empowerment but it comes with some real costs and one of them is certainty

I get that a lot of people want the Cal community to come here and I leave everyone to make that decision for themselves in how they allocate their time. I'm going to try to be more intentional about showing up here though.

I gotta keep y'all on your toes. 😂

GET DMs on this website already jesus

Thrilled to see the spirit of the Charitibundi bowl has still been successfull here on Bluesky. Congratulations and thank you to @hollyanderson.bsky.social, @edsbs.bsky.social and the rest of the gang at New American Pathways. (Sorry I wasn't able to help the Cal side more this year.)

It's @edsbs.bsky.social charity bowl week!!! WHAT: raise money in our name to prove moral clarity & superiority for Cal and Atlanta area refugee resettlement. If you have a chance or the means -- money may be tight but the cause matters more now. fundraise.givesmart.com/form/ohnLcA?vi…

One Friday in January, I settled in to get my first look at Jaron Keawe Sagopolutele. Today, he had his first practice as a Cal Bear -- on hope, and the possibilities of a left arm: www.patreon.com/posts/left-a...

This is a better site. Not enough interaction just yet tho. But also, we are in the bleakest of times and people got to find happiness/home where they can. Cals twitter presence is a part of that for the fandom.

ok we’re 50% of the way there

Then you're free to. But as to why we all haven't moved yet, I gave you an explanation.

Be fucking serious dude. The Calgorithm as a movement is a way for the community to generate positive optics and energy about the program. Twitter remains a practical choice for that reason. I am also in no way saying that's more important than the political situation.

File under some shit I never thought I might have to write: wondering about the loss of my citizenship, in a place I was actually born. #futurecolumns
