Mike Dunford

I just turned in my PhD thesis and I swear I'm never reading anything longer than a Tweet again.

My daughter OTOH is plowing @[email protected] & @[email protected]'s Chokepoint Capitalism - which I bought to read post-thesis lol - taking copious notes and not learning from my academic mistakes.

@questauthority Longer than a "tweet"? You know elmo announced the character count is going up to 4500 soon(-ish), right? 🤔

@questauthority Congratulations on submitting the dissertation, Mike. I enjoy your short-form trenchant commentary on the social sites, but I'm impressed by the depth required by the other format.

Stay interesting.

I totally know that feeling, although I haven't done a PhD (just 2 Bachelors and a Masters). Hope it all goes well with the committee!

Congrats! Now you can take about a month to decomp... sources are telling me you work for a living. So, good luck with that.

@questauthority I legit haven't returned to my pre-law school love of reading even 11 years later. I totally get it.

@juliemfaenza @questauthority Same. I used to read constantly and now the thought of reading a book feels like a chore.

Children don't always know which parents are role models for who you imitate and which parents are role models for whose mistakes to avoid.

@questauthority Congrats on finishing the thesis. May your defense be a mere formality that gives you plenty of time to visit your favorite pubs and bookstores.
