I’m going to be too busy working on the dissertation to post anything for the foreseeable future (you’re saddened beyond words, I know).
The nice thing about history is, it reminds us that, in the long run, we’re all dead anyway, and so we need to make hay while the sun shines (that’s why historians are such cheerful, optimistic folks). Thus I need to bust out my dissertation — when Iran and Israel nuke each other in a few years and the world goes beyond Thunderdome, I want to be able to say I had the most useless credential on the planet.
Have a good summer, homies.
