* Turns out Delta-8 has been illegal in Texas this whole time? I know weed can cause memory loss, but come on now! [Dallas Morning News] * Judge scolds city and police officers for not putting their community's well being first. Maybe the officers are just big Disturbed fans? [Chicago Sun Times] * There is a new twist to the "are bikes vehicles" question, namely, "are e-bikes mopeds?" [Boston Globe] * Washington's Supreme Court has an opportunity to strike down racial covenants in housing. Let's cross our fingers and hope they do something the Founding Fathers wouldn't have agreed with. [The Seattle Times] * Minnesota's Supreme Court indirectly weighs in on Derek Chauvin's 3rd degree murder charge. Good thing he's behind bars on the 2nd degree. [Reason]
