Rick Scott and Charlie Crist, AKA Lord Voldemort and the sleaziest used-car salesman you ever met, may not be the most inspiring candidates ever, but that’s not an excuse not to vote today. Of course, Facebook and Twitter and all of that are full of people proudly proclaiming they’ve voted,…
Could the Miami Hurricanes three-game win streak be in part due to some futuristic help? Al Golden and his team have joined a small but growing trend of college football teams who are relying on drones during practice in order to perfect plays…
For the hundreds of thousands toiling low-income jobs in South Florida, hiring an attorney is about as realistic as buying a Bentley. But that doesn’t mean poor Miamians don’t end up in sticky legal situations. In fact, between employers refusing to hand over wages and predatory lenders foreclosing on houses,…
In June 2013, Alex Rodriguez was sweating the biggest drug scandal in MLB history. Six months after Miami New Times had revealed a local clinic called Biogenesis was selling steroids to scores of top players, MLB was closing in on Tony Bosch, the clinic’s owner. Bosch was a big problem,…
For a moment, it looks like the standup comedian is about to cry. From behind thick black glasses, he peers out — pupils contracted by the glare — at the roomful of strangers and says nothing. Then he turns away from the crowd and pulls a crumpled piece of paper…

Months if not years late to the story, the New York Post decided to check in this weekend on development in Edgewater. According to the Post’s take, the area was full of “vagrants” before and is now quickly turning into some family friendly area where actual Miamians will live and…
Just in case you weren’t convinced by the past six months of polls showing the Charlie Crist/Rick Scott race is barreling toward a razor-thin, Bush-vs.-Gore-esque, last-minute photo finish tomorrow, a new set of polls is out this morning to confirm that, yup, this thing is way too close to call…
There are those who believe Wynwood is in decline, that as artisanal juice shops have pushed out art galleries, the neighborhood has lost its edge, that gentrification has made geriatrics of us all. To that, we answer with the angry hiss of a thousand energy drinks opened all at once…
The Miami Dolphins are now awesome at football. The Gatorade celebration thing? Still needs a little work. It makes sense — they don’t practice it much, after all. After a nasty, defense-dominated, 37-0 win over the Chargers, the Dolphins wanted to cap off the big day with a celebratory shower…
LeBron James is gone, but criticism of the Miami Heat’s fans has stuck around like a cranky, drunk party guest.

Divine intervention it is not, but a last minute decision by a city official has thrown a Miami Beach mega development project into sudden disarray. Earlier today, Miami Beach’s special master ruled that the city’s Historical Preservation Board had erred in approving a controversial plan to turn a historic church…
If you’re over the age of 21, you likely haven’t heard of Jerome Jarre. He’s a Frenchman who has amassed more than 7.5 million followers on six-second video network Vine thanks to his pranks, but earlier this week one such prank attempted aboard an airplane landed him in trouble when…
It’s Halloween, and Riptide has decided to go as the scariest costume we can think of: A Thought Catalog or Elite Daily writer! Spooky! Because the best costumes are things that scare the hell out of you, but also on some level resonate with you. Yes, it’s time for an…
Let’s be honest: Florida is to fair and well-run polling as Kanye West is to humble and modest self-image. We’re just not very good at it. You don’t even have to go back to the Dubya-crowning recount debacle for evidence of Sunshine State voting ineptitude. Just transport yourself back to…
A lot of weird things happen in Florida. We’re here every Friday morning to give you the week’s weirdest. This week: Coke in vaginas, terrible mugshot T-shirts and a neighborhood terrorized by wild pigs…
If you see ghosts and goblins flying around town tonight, don’t be alarmed. Demonic spirits haven’t slipped out of Hell and stolen hipsters’ fixies. Instead, it’s just a special Halloween edition of Critical Mass. That’s right. The year’s most frightening holiday happens to fall on the last Friday of the…
H. Gary Morse, Florida’s most powerful developer, died Wednesday night at the age of 77. Morse didn’t upend existing cities and build shiny new luxury towers along their coasts. Instead he created and kept careful control over his own make-shift city, populated mostly by people over the age of 55…
