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.

For me it's "my sister and brother-in-law *were* planning to visit from Australia", although the past tense is about flying over war zones, because the decision to not be on a plane transiting through the Middle East was made before the tit-for-tat on burning oil fields started.
