Close-to-home fallout from the Gulf war: I *was* planning on taking @feorag back to Japan in September for her birthday (a significant number one), but thanks to Netanyahu and Trump that's probably not happening now. Grump. (Jet fuel has nearly doubled in price in the past two weeks and it's not coming down any time soon.)

Even if the AI bubble *doesn't* burst we're in for a series of supply chain shocks as bad as 2022. And it'll probably get much worse than that.

What are the actual flight paths to Asia from Europe? I would expect a lot of restricted airspace on the way 😬

Just checked. And the corridor between Ukraine/Russia and Iran is really narrow 😬
