Wars once centered on oil fields, pipelines, and ports.
Now they may target data centers.
After Iranian strikes reportedly hit commercial cloud infrastructure in the Persian Gulf earlier this year, a new question emerged: what happens when the infrastructure powering AI and the global economy becomes part of the battlespace?
On the latest episode of The Burn Bag, @andregonawela speaks with Morgan Plummer (@mcplummer1789) of @americans4ri about why AI infrastructure is becoming a strategic target — and what attacks on commercial compute hubs could mean for markets, businesses, and consumers.

Game Pass Ultimate has become too expensive for too many players. Starting today, we’re dropping the price from $29.99 to $22.99/month.
Future Call of Duty titles will no longer join Game Pass Ultimate on day one. They will join this tier the following holiday after launch (about a year later). Current Call of Duty titles will remain available to Ultimate subscribers.
We’ll keep learning and evolving Game Pass to better match what matters to players.

I hate it when people humble brag about where they went to college. I have this friend who went to Harvard and she just won’t shut up about it. She’s always been like that, even when we were in college together.
I coincidentally had a flight with him and several other Michigan Congresspeople that got mercilessly delayed. When the plane took off five hours later, there @ShriForMI was, sitting in economy, like the rest of us plebs. The other congressional folks had found alternate routes.
Before we log out for the new year next week, quick plug about @ExaminerLK. Six months since we’ve started, our reporting keeps expanding. @alphonsus_mimi@danielalphonsus
This high school principal shouldn’t pay for his own meals or beers for a very long time. Can’t imagine the gratitude of the parents. https://t.co/lwIG7CVWtu
