       Every time Gov. Ron DeSantis smiles he triggers the "uncanny valley" effect -- and he's (presumably) not even a robot.

       @lauren Every time Ron DeSantis smiles, a kitten dies.  And vice versa.

       @lauren Yes. The human side of the uncanny valley is definitely a thing. I have the same problem with Lillian Gish.

       @lauren He did grow up a stone's throw from the scientology "land base" in Clearwater.

       @laurenHe’s a fascist. Those are pretty robotic. They certainly have no conscience, so they’re hardly human.

       @lauren Are we sure he's not animatronic?  Could he be from a Disney "Hall of Governors"?Actually, probably a reject from a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic band.

       @lauren Oh, it's worse than the uncanny valley... It's the psychological reflex the uncanny valley grew out of.... the one that recognizes a smile that says "I wonder what they taste like."
