A question to all you parking and typo experts
What would be a good way to monetize this domain without getting into trouble?

There is no a good way. Usually domains are redirected to ads or pages with affiliate links.
But monetising a typos trademark implies the automatic loss of the domain in case of UDRP because there is a clear bad faith.

Yikes, more than enough reason for the UDRP to stick.

Ads.

Right, what kind of ads, though? How do you set it up to avoid "risky" ads? Which service to use?

I would not have paid even a dollar for that domain. In my opinion it is done with bad faith and has been abusive registration of the domain. I also think i violates twitter's trademark rights despite the fact that it is a dictionary word.
