Fun size is bullshit. It’s gotten smaller. It’s more like party pooper size now.

4/4 Years later, my grandfather shortened his name to George James for a job at a steel mill during the Depression, because his brothers worked there and jobs were rationed among families. Eventually, people knew him George James, so he had his name legally changed.

1/4 I've been working on my father's family history lately, and here's one of my favorite stories, told by my Uncle Bob at a Jersey Shore gathering in 2013 for his 90th birthday. It's about how his father - my grandfather - George Grodesky, acquired the last name James. ...

3/4 When my grandfather pointed out that there was a middle initial J. on the letters, the cousin informed him his middle name was John.

We'll have some new things on the @WorkingNation social media channels from #CES2024. You can get started with @work_podcast below. I've tweaked our normal graphic look below to add a video preview on #AI.

[WorkingNation @WorkingNation]

We're in Las Vegas at #CES2024, at the intersection of #tech and #jobs. “#AI is the buzzword,” says @GaryShapiro of @CES producer @CTATech. To get started, he talks to @RamonaWritesLA for @Work_Podcast (excerpt attached).

Here's my year-end song list - at least a day late.

I'll be adding more stuff in a week or so, but you'll be able to ID the original 100 at the top by date added.

Belated news for those of you who know me personally, I've moved to Somerset County, N.J. If you need my new address, feel free to reach out.

[Michael James @bymsj]

Not sure what happened there. Fixing the link ... https://t.co/E2yi6Irtix

I watched “A Haunting in Venice”tonight and Kenneth Branaugh’s stylized direction had me thinking of this SNL skit and the ads it was spoofing. https://t.co/OrpKt5ZeSx

Mr. Unknown? Is that you?

This doesn’t seem sketchy at all.

My cousin in San Francisco noted earlier this year when the Mets were in S.F. that the teams had almost exact inverse records (Mets 14-7; Giants 6-13).

It's happening again, but now they've flipped positions.

I’m reading this and it’s true. I’m 40, or maybe even 20 (even though I’m not). https://t.co/M3jVJEj9BN

This week, @WorkingNation published a new digital magazine highlighting the circumstances of older workers - something near and dear to many people I know. Check it out at https://t.co/p2eaHK4xX7

#OlderWorkers #overlooked #sidelined @CWILabs

[WorkingNation @WorkingNation]

Why is #ageism counterproductive? For one thing, companies excluding #OlderWorkers miss benefits of #multigenerational teams, @BridgetteFGray of @OpptyatWork tells @WorkingNation.

This is a new series at @WorkingNation. It's about jobs, as usual - but with a twist: These people followed a passion to work in support of something they love, even if they weren't necessarily gifted as professional athletes. It's worth a look. And there's more to come.

[WorkingNation @WorkingNation]

How did they make a VW bus fly at @NitroCircus? It wasn’t only @ToddMeyn and fellow athletes, but a whole team whose job was to get this spectacle off the ground. Meet them in a new @WorkingNation series, #HowToMakeMoney #DoingWhatYouLove.

My storage unit now costs me nearly $4,500/year. Could I actually save money by hiring movers to take all my stuff to another storage unit with an introductory rate? It sounds like a George or Kramer scheme from a Seinfeld episode, but I’m considering pricing it out.

Something I do every year. 100 songs, with more to be added later. https://t.co/2rC47VTZXj

Big plot question in my mind after watching The White Lotus season finale: Do killers usually wine and dine their victims, invite them to their palazzo and make them a guest of honor at parties when their plan all along is to kill them? Wouldn't it be better to stay anonymous?
