       There's suddenly a lot of AWS data which may never be read again. The Iranians have taken out not one, not two, but *three* Amazon data centres in the UAE and Bahrain. The story speculates that in future, data centres may require their own missile defence systems. Burn Bezos baby, burn.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/07/it-means-missile-defence-on-data-centres-drone-strikes-raises-doubts-over-gulf-as-ai-superpower @paulhellyer @thomasbeagle #AWS #DataCentre #Iran

       So... how's it going in the Strait of Hormuz? Each one of those little coloured dots is a ship. And most of them aren't going anywhere.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3w39lg84w2o #Hormuz

       For those keeping a watchful eye on the dark overlord, he's deserted the USA. Because to the unstable situation in the US, which he helped to create and maintain, and the possibility that California may (gasp) tax billionaires, Thiel has moved to Argentina.Does it seem odd to you that a man who views the Pope as the anti-Christ would move to a predominantly catholic country? That seems odd to me.He's also bought land next door in Uruguay, because a man can never have enough bunkers. It seems Thiel is reasonably protected in Argentina. At least, for as long as Milei remains in power. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/world/americas/peter-thiel-argentina.html#Thiel #Argentina
