One indicator you’re not Nobel Peace Prize material is if the country which hosts the totally independent Nobel committee believes you’re gonna retaliate against them because you didn’t win.

Really glad none of the people calling American cities “war zones” were with us in Afghanistan. Would’ve become tiresome constantly hosing them down after they soiled themselves.

May we all be as cool at 98 as my great uncle John Kander, photographed last night with the star of the movie adaptation of a musical he wrote. Go see #KissOfTheSpiderWoman

They want us to feel like he is all powerful. If you pay close enough attention you’ll see more of our institutions holding than it appears. The more all powerful he seems the more he is. In reality, he’s being stopped in more ways than are widely reported.

Yep. Enjoyed it. A tad cold.

Smartest, coolest person you could know.

I had the right therapist, I fully committed to it, and I had a fantastic support system

It makes me really sad. For my country but also for the people willing to serve right now to have to be stigmatized by it.

Big Dumper. Doing that and being a plus defensive catcher is special.

Lacking a podcast network.

1. Holidays Draft probably
2. They are all documented so I sincerely hope not.

Big day for him. Felt odd rooting for the Patriots.

It’s gonna be tough. I’m really surprised at how hard they are to dislike. I attribute this to the fact that Shohei, Mookie, and Freddy seem to be genuinely great humans.

She is very good at making me step away from my phone. She digests the news in doses. I don’t have that luxury given my podcast, the other advocacy I do. So she helps me unplug.

Jason Kander @jasonkander.bsky.social · 6d

Me too.

Jason Kander @jasonkander.bsky.social · 6d

I don’t know. Not interested right now. I’ve made a much greater impact out of office than I ever did in office so it would mean my feeling that was no longer the case.

Jason Kander @jasonkander.bsky.social · 6d

Ask me anything
