August means new laws and yes, heat
A bevy of new laws are set to take effect in Minnesota on August 1. The most significant are likely the banning of crypto kiosks and prediction markets in the state, but donβt sleep on the update for telemedicine in veterinary practice, which allows licensed veterinarians to dispense prescription drugs without a prior veterinarian-client-patient relationship under specific conditions. Beware of huskies selling black market Apoquel on the corners of your local dog park.
As a northerly state (Minneapolis is at a higher latitude than Toronto, you know), Minnesota would experience quite a swing if permanent Daylight Savings Time ever becomes a thing. Our latest sunrise in winter would be a shocking 8:51 a.m.! The U.S. actually tried this once before in 1974 in the midst of (another) energy crisis. What happened?
βAccording to a report by History, a survey found that support for year-round daylight saving time dropped from 79% to just 42% in a matter of two months.β

Enjoy your fake fall while you can because weβre headed back to the β90s this weekend, and I donβt mean puka necklaces and sleeveless flannel.

Start with the black raspberry.
When it was announced that Lynx forward Napheesa Collier would miss significant time this season after double ankle surgery, it did not bode well for a franchise accustomed to consistent success. But the emergence of rookie Olivia Miles has helped spur the team to a league-leading record of 22-6 heading into the All-Star Break. In her first game back, Collier showed little rust against the Storm, dropping 24 points and 10 rebounds in 22 minutes. The rest of the league should be very, very worried.
