One year ago, Canes fans were applauding Mark Richt for reinventing the way we eat sandwiches and thanking him for being the savior that the University of Miami football program desperately needed. Fast-forward to this season and the narrative on social media and Hurricanes message boards is that Richt should...
The International Noise Conference (INC) has become a monumental staple in Miami. The annual fest, which boasts acts from all over the globe doing exactly the opposite of what most people might expect from a live show, draws motley crowds from every corner of South Florida to Churchill's Pub in Little Haiti...
Alita: Battle Angel. This is a film made up of three distinct, and sometimes conflicting, aesthetics. At its heart is Yukito Kishiro's manga series Gunnm (or Battle Angel Alita), of which a number of chapters were chopped and rearranged by writers Laeta Kalogridis and James Cameron to create the two-hour...
Dr. Lord Lee-Benner has seen the dark side of the Sunshine State: its schizophrenics, neurotics, addicts, depressives, illiterate bipolars, disturbed teens, even psychotic ex-ministers.

Love bites; love is bliss. Especially in Miami, a notoriously rough scene for dating, it can be tough finding that magic formula for making a romantic relationship work, let alone finding someone willing to slide from your DMs into real life. That's why it's a little surprising Miami has so...
At its slimy heart, the Biogenesis steroid scandal boiled down to a bunch of tanning-salon aficionados and small-time South Florida crooks scamming one another — all while bringing down the biggest performance-enhancing drug ring in the history of professional sports. So it makes sense that in retelling the tale...
Before the federal government sued California in an attempt to open the state to private-prison contractors, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sought the advice of GEO Group, the Boca Raton-based, multibillion-dollar private-detention-facility corporation. Mother Jones broke news of the close ties between GEO and ICE's legal team this past Friday. New Times has...
People order take-out food all the time. Why shouldn't brands and agencies order art and other services the same way?

For all of Donald Trump's ills, he has not done anything (yet) as evil as lying to the American public in order to start a continent-destabilizing war that killed 500,000 to 1 million Iraqis. George W. Bush is a monster who jump-started the NSA's internet-spying apparatus, launched America into a perpetual state of war across the globe...
A whole host of civil-rights advocates believe that the private, for-profit prison industry should not exist. But former Florida State Senate President Joe Negron appears to, ahem, lean in the opposite direction: Politico Florida first reported yesterday that the outgoing Negron will take a cushy gig as...
Except for a scattering of white-haired regulars, the grandstand overlooking the old dog track at the Palm Beach Kennel Club is almost empty on a cold-for-Florida December day. Wearing hearing aids and World War II veterans' hats, a group of four long-timers holds court near the top of the stands...
In 1988, the American Civil Liberties Union teamed up with more than 5,000 homeless people and sued the City of Miami to stop police from rampantly arresting them on loitering charges. The city wound up settling a decade later, and the result — the Pottinger Agreement, named for lead plaintiff...
Transgender activist Rajee Narinesingh still remembers the doctor's office where the staff "busted out in laughter" after they thought she was out of earshot. "They handed me the clipboard with the form that I needed to fill out and they closed the window back, and then all I heard was this laughter," Narinesingh says.
Vice President Mike Pence arrived at Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport just after noon on Friday. He was greeted by a Broward Sheriff's Office SWAT team that included one cop in a #QAnon conspiracy-theory patch. #QAnon is, of course, the batshit-insane, 4Chan-based conspiracy theory that claims Donald Trump is secretly fighting a...

Two back doors were open, and the entire house had been ransacked. A .40-caliber shell casing lay near him. The 65-year-old retired gynecologist and multimillionaire was dead.

In fall 2018, a 14-year-old girl fled Mexico after a violent group of men killed three of her uncles, broke into her home, and threatened her at gunpoint. She arrived in the United States November 6 and was briefly taken to what she called a "jail-like" holding facility in San Diego. Named "M.C.L." in court filings...
