Oh, no! Not Meta! Or Oracle! Or umm, Palantir! Or... guys, help me here.
X should not be on the list to target!
Please not Palantir! Who will use WiFi to reconstruct a collection of 3D models of me pooping?
Quick! Send them the coordinates of all those datacenters so they can avoid them!
I only feel bad for all the sysadmins who will get woken up because of this
What if Iran ends up breaking the backs of corporate America? As an American, I'm not against that...
What a time to be alive!
American here. Can someone start a go fund me for Iran, on the condition that participants are allowed to attend an exclusive event for the live tar and feathering of Zuck the Cuck and Peter Theil? We could probably raise more money than the tech bros have.
oh no, that's so horrible... 🤣
Since America and Israel attacked Iranian Economic Interests when they bombed oil producing facilities, it's entirelly fair for Iran to respond in kind.
Well...we're waiting!
Hold on! Stop! I can only get so wet!
Up next:

Russia had some reputation of being a large and powerful army, but as soon as they attacked Ukraine it showed the world it actually had shit. It basically lost its credibility of being a world power because their arsenal is old fashioned and they were just throwing in bodies.
I feel the US is going through the same. Everyone saw them as an undefeatable nation, but this little stint in Iran had their stockpiles dropping faster than expected and it's not going as they expected. Hegseth and Trump contradict each other and besides squandering their soft power over the past years, they are also showing that their military might has limits.
They are both still to be reckoned with and they are capable of doing great harm to innocent bystanders, but my view has changed a bit.
I think the issue is that offense is harder than defense. A defender generally has the home advantage in terms of logistics, familiarity with the area and political will. The difference this makes is hard to estimate, and even harder so if you're not even aware of it. Combined with delusions of grandeur, this is a recipe for underestimating the enemy.
And call me a cynic, but I suspect neither Cadet Bone Spurs nor Major "Warrior Ethos" "Signal Chat" "American Crusade" Boozeth are entirely qualified to make high-level military judgements.
(Neither is my armchair general ass whose only education in the matter is some MilHist blogs and articles, but at least I'm not an actual general charged to actually make them.)
For Putin, I'm not sure. I'm disinclined to believe he's just ignorant about the tenacity a people under attack can develop, given Russian history, but I can only make unqualified guesses.
Either way, as you say, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end, because a blunt and rusty axe still hurts, and they don't seem concerned about where they swing it and who's in the way.
If Microslop went away one day, it would only improve my quality of life.
I want this war to end as soon as possible, but is this a surprise?
They’re taking on hundreds of millions from the Pentagon, they are military contractors.
I do not think bombing data centers will result in more than sporadic regional service disruptions though. Data will just get routed through other regions and increase latency. That’s what the internet was invented for and AWS + Google run multi zone clouds.
It’s yet to be seen if Iranian hackers can deal any real damage to these companies.
The reality is that these multi region "clouds" are not nearly as resilient as they seem, and applications that have built on top of then even less so.
it would be a hilarious turn of historical events if Americans were saved from the oligarchs by Iran.
Oh nooo this is horrible you guys! Not Palantir!
Well, didnt musk and suckerberg get enlisted in the military for some bs reason for pentagon access?
Not them, four other C-suites: https://www.npr.org/2025/07/03/1255164460/1a-army-07-03-2025
But I haven't heard anything else about it. They wouldn't need it for any access, either, civilians are granted access for various things all the time.
Shit i may need to delete my google account before Iran does it for me!
Im here in the US rooting for Iran ... such a weird fucking timeline.
Oh fuck yea! Saves us the trouble of a war against AI and robots, trying to dismantle Palantir!
I would fuck things up so bad out of spite if I was Iran.
incredible how iran is more of an opposition party than the democrats. and i'm supposed to hate them?



They funded his presidential campaign and own nearly all the media to oppress opposition and push propaganda. So big tech is getting from the world what they put into it?
No one I care about. Its hard to feel sorry for them since they helped make it happen.
stop dont come back

If they digitally nuke them. I don't want to be apathetic to death and injury
“President Trump is not worried”
Welp, I’m satisfied, how about you? /s
This will end with Trump dropping a nuke in Iran, or die trying. Mark my words.
please do
Why bother with microslop, they just gave to be a bit patient and wait for the weekly ground zero updates 😄
Lol. We're so bad at dealing with our own ultra wealthy leeches that we're relying on our adversaries to do it for us.
I'm wondering exactly how much more pathetic we can get. Is there even a rock bottom?
