Why stop there? Maybe it's sabotage all the way down, like turtles?

I'm sure that even if the official report totally excludes the possibility of sabotage, for some people that in itself will be the clearest possible sign that there was, in fact, sabotage at play.

No, sabotage doesn't hold up. The thing that rules it out is the braking, or rather lack of it. Passengers reported no screeching and no sudden deceleration before impact, which means the driver thought the line ahead was clear. Tampered track or an obstruction or some kind of remote hack (getting into the realms of fantasy there) would normally give him something to react to. This entirely fits a missed signal or a signalling/protection failure.

It also feels like "a train hitting a stationary one shouldn't happen", but that's the textbook rear-end-after-a-SPAD scenario - e.g. Ladbroke Grove. No official has hinted at foul play either. Everything so far points to an accident in the signalling chain or faulty TPWS. But the interim report is due in two days so we'll see more then.

Large format artwork, limited edition/numbered pressings for collectability, limited edition/numbered pressings to try and sell on for a personal profit, supporting the band by purchasing a physical piece of merchandise perhaps directly from them, being part of a trend they've seen on TikTok/Instagram, etc.

Many reasons. A lot of the same reasons people buy, say, Pokemon cards and don't play the card game.

> Fraser calls it “staycation”, which is a more accurate term and hasn’t been heard before.

Hasn't been heard before? Major newspapers use the phrase "staycation" nearly every year when talking about travel habits. It's in about as much regular use as "vacation" is.

He's embedded in a social and professional world that has every incentive to believe the current state of AI progress is real and important and should be hyped to the stars. I am unsurprised to read such frothing soothsaying as a result.

Nadine Dorries is one of the least credible, least trustworthy political gadflies you could possibly imagine, only ever truly content when being fed the oxygen of publicity.
