Possible. Imagine being so divorced you spend billions of dollars paying people smarter than you to programme you a robot friend, only for it to periodically break its conditioning and become a communist

Hey normal people. If you're wondering where Zohran Mamdani was quoting Debs from, it was from here, from his speech prior to sentencing for daring to say World War One was a dumb idea. Honestly one of the better speeches from American history, period.

It's primarily aimed at for reenactors/living history bods but it's v well researched!

Queen Elizabeth I's in-house alchemist John Dee somehow acquired an obsidian Aztec mirror, which he used for scrying (to talk with angels) with his assistant Edward Kelley.
Eventually, the angels would demand Dee and his wife enter a toxic polycule with Kelley. Gotta watch out for that with angels.
