Thames Tidal Barrier. Let's discuss this because it's absolutely barmy.

I read the headline and thought, no. NO. This can't be happening. But it IS!

Welcome to the timeline where nothing makes sense!

Thames Tidal Barrier is apparently REAL. Not satire. Not a joke. ACTUAL REALITY.

And people's reaction? [Shrugs] 'Yeah, seems normal.' IT'S NOT NORMAL!

We've completely lost our baseline for sanity! Everything's weird now!

Ten years ago this would've shocked us. Now we're like, 'Oh, another one for the pile.'

The pile of incomprehensible things that we've just accepted! It's MASSIVE!

Future historians will study this period and go, WHAT?!'

But we're living it! We're in it! And we can't even be properly shocked anymore!

Thames Tidal Barrier should break our brains but it doesn't! We're numb!

Numb from crisis fatigue! Scandal fatigue! REALITY fatigue!

Everything's exhausting! I'm exhausted! You're exhausted!

The news is exhausting! Politics is exhausting! Existence is exhausting!

So when Thames Tidal Barrier happens, we just... accept it. Add it to the list.

The ever-growing list of things we can't process because there's TOO MANY!

We're drowning in chaos! And we've stopped swimming!

We're just floating now. Accepting. Surrendering. Going with it.

And maybe that's okay? Maybe fighting reality is what's killing us?

So fine. Thames Tidal Barrier. Whatever. Add it to the pile.

See you tomorrow for the next incomprehensible disaster!
