Hormuz Blockade Claim Meets an Oil Market That Isn't Panicking Yet

Iran's blockade and Argentina's World Cup run made this look like a day of drama elsewhere. The number worth sitting with is 622: fresh Microsoft flaws patched overnight, two already under attack. Somewhere a CISO is rereading that sentence for the third time. That's the actual emergency in most offices this morning.

Iran got blockaded, retaliated, and got told to behave, all before lunch, which passes for a slow Thursday now. Legco rushed a port bill through committee without breaking stride. Microsoft patched 622 holes in one sitting, which reads less like an update than a confession. And a firefighter is fighting his own insurer for a payout while recovering from brain surgery, the one story today where what's owed and what's paid actually don't match.
