  @mattsheffield@mastodon.social It really seems it's the over-salaried against the rest of us, be they "left" or "right"

  @mattsheffield@mastodon.social I just teased my wife for buying some small wrapped gummies. I said "kids want big candy bars, weren't you ever a kid?"😁 Maybe she read that article.

  @mattsheffield@mastodon.social This is serious? It should be in The Onion, or maybe McSweeney's.

  @mattsheffield@mastodon.social Yeah, those political opinion articles are nasty. Last election, they had provocative headlines, but the actual articles were often paywalled. When I finally read the article, the headline was misleading, mostly about Harris. But that's all most people read, the headlines. It's a political strategy.

  @mattsheffield@mastodon.social “Though mostly a marketing term, fun-size is the right way to think about Halloween candy from a gastronomic perspective. To understand why, it’s first necessary to understand what fun means. That’s easier said than done. It’s a word that people use without really knowing what they mean by it.” Oh boy the whole article is like this. The newer article is somehow worse: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/10/trick-or-treating-mixed-candy/689208/
