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 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.
