One of the coolest things about publishing a book in Norway is that the gov will automatically buy 1k copies, 1.5K if its a children's book, these will then be distributed to all the libraries.

It's 1811. You've been caught stealing some beans and you're dragged up in front of the magistrate's court. You want the Justice of the Peace to be fair, sympathetic, and focused on your case. You glance at his casebook and he's doodling the other officials.

One of my favourite winter things being reminded that the gritters in Scotland are named by the public. My favourites this year include Plougher O'Scotland, Charles Rennie Mackinslush, and Taylor Drift. Go to the Traffic Scotland website and zoom in for more puntastic fun.

Let me be clear. This claim from RFK Jr. is flat-out false. Scotland just reported finding no cervical cancer cases in vaccinated women -- zero, zilch, zip. This man's advice has been hurting people for years, but this lie will especially harm women. publichealthscotland.scot/news/2024/ja...
