Yeah, and on Route 78 sometimes the drones fly so close to the ground you can see into their windows and stare at the people staring back at you! It's totally wild!! 🤡

This, to me, is the same as making showtunes-singing lions look like REAL LIONS. No, I for one never wanted this. Just...no. nytimes.com/2024/12/26/art…
