Could Minnesota be a national model as the hemp THC industry lobbies Congress for regulations? As Cleo Krejci writes, "the state’s unique requirements seek to address concerns about potency, contamination, labeling and packaging." https://t.co/RELXqULmQw

@floyding i feel like such a rube for being swept up by the news that buxton and correa arrived at spring training feeling like they are in the best shape of their lives. optimism!

@drvolts I had no awareness of Nordic hot dog culture until a trip to Sweden a decade ago, when I encountered this innovation. (Hot dog wrap w/ mashed potatoes, relish and ketchup)

Good except for all the Astros home runs.

Standing-room-only Twins playoff tickets: $45
Homer Hankies: free at the gate
Matching red clown wigs to wear to the game: priceless
Let's go Twins!

@snyde043 @dbrauer Incredible how the AL East doesn't have a win yet

[Dan Haugen (he/him) @DanHaugen]

Do we root for the Rangers today because a sweep probably gets the #MNTwins a better TV/start time tomorrow? Or do we want that series to go on longer so the Twins' potential ALCS opponent would have less time to reset between series?

[Dan Haugen (he/him) @DanHaugen]

Does anyone know what happens to TV schedule if the rain-delayed Texas-Baltimore game is still in progress at 3:30 CT when the Twins are supposed to start?

@WedgeLIVE @amityf Just listened on my lunch hour walk to St. Anthony Parkway dog park (with a dog!) 🚲 Pro tip: avoid Central and use either Monroe or Tyler/Polk/Fillmore as north-south corridors in that part of Northeast.

Maine’s deepening housing crisis is colliding with the global climate crisis. Some advocates see an opportunity to address both at the same time. https://t.co/MHF6IPgFIe

68 degrees and first day of spring vibes in Minneapolis right now, with people opening up and going outside after a week of hiding from heat.

Here’s a link to the legislation. Supporters are hoping it will be wrapped into a larger climate bill at some point in the future. https://t.co/7Es4zjfKFc

Here’s a story for anyone who’s ever had the experience of flying into a city, seeing acres of flat, vacant rooftop space and wondered: why isn’t all of that covered in solar panels?

https://t.co/L1729xz79I

[Dan Haugen (he/him) @DanHaugen]

Lawmakers and environmentalists in Massachusetts are trying to change that equation. A bill in the legislature would adjust the state’s solar incentives to make larger rooftop projects more feasible.
