Earlier this week, environmentalists raised a sea level rise rallying cry with Miami Dade County commissioners. Their demands: a $500,000 pool for engineering solutions and a new “chief resiliency officer” for the county who would act as a point person for new infrastructure to keep Miami dry. “The eyes of…

Every day, sometimes in small crowds, onlookers approach a fence demarcating a vacant plot of land, a rectangle of brown dirt sandwiched between high-rise apartment buildings downtown. Just a few steps from the whirring Metromover, they raise their phones to chest level and snap pictures, often making sure their own…
Dwyane Wade really likes socks. According to his old teammate LeBron James, he likes to paint his toenails in black and then immediately puts socks ons and wears them all the time. Maybe he’s got an issue with his feet, but regardless the man really loves socks. He also really…
American democracy is a complex system with multiple levels, branches and built in checks and balances, and it works best when people get informed and show up to vote for all offices. Of course, Floridians, by and large, aren’t quite ready to even start thinking about who will replace Marco…
Los Angeles is a city that has a difficult grasp on reality. They’re the world leaders in making television and movies after all.
