Ship queues are lengthening at East Coast ports. Turns out that shifting shipping to lower-volume ports works kinda like having Googlers move to Spokane: even a small bump means the locals are overwhelmed.

Airspace over Ukraine is EMPTY now, according to @ADSBexchange. Heavy civilian air traffic elsewhere warned of "HIGH risk," any altitude. The image says it all.

Viktor Vekselberg's $120,000,000 yacht is currently docked in Europe, the Spanish islands. It could be seized.
Roman Abramovich's $590,000,000 yacht Eclipse is in Sint Maarten (Netherlands territory). It could be seized. https://t.co/IS8n7IHbZe
