Empower students & faculty to embody the Fiat Lux spirit! Support UC Berkeley. Start here.

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?

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.

Stay calm patriots.

Lmao

that being said i'm also checking peoples' temperatures because the twitter side is recognizing how much attention Jaron's gonna get and the anxiety is already setting in/palpable etc. stopping by here is my way of seeing how other people are doing/the culture is doing

all good, man. we need everybody out here. i recently learned there was a bubbling cal IG culture too and they need shooters there too.

i will still try to stop by and say hello. doesn't matter what your preference is

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.

@fredsmith.bsky.social you want one right

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social

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 if you have time or capacity i'd love to get a paragraph or two blurb from you by next weekend, @edsbs.bsky.social or @hollyanderson.bsky.social on what it was like observing this from the CFB landscape but no worries! (you do get the special credit)

@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
