When the summer sun in Florida pushes temperatures past 100 degrees, state prisoners — the vast majority of whom are stuck in jail without air-conditioning on drug charges — feel it. When those inmates work (they were forced, for example, to clean up after Hurricane Irma), they typically don't get a dime in return. When their mostly poor families send them money for food and necessities, a $4 case of soup costs $17.
Floridians still don't have an answer to what might be the most pressing statewide political question of 2018: What does Bill Nelson stand for?

This past July, a group of young Florida bros filmed themselves dragging a live shark behind a boat until the poor thing disintegrated into a bloody pulp.

In the 1980s, cocaine was ubiquitous in Miami. Hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of yeyo was regularly seized from the airport, while the local drug trade generated $12 billion annually. The morgue became so jam-packed that the coroner's office had to rent a refrigerated truck from Burger King to fit all the bodies.
Ahead of this year's Oscars, we look into what the film's shocking victory has meant for black films, LGBTQ films, and Miami.

It was almost 20 years ago that Ultra Music Festival began as a one-day party on the sands of Miami Beach. Located in the present-day Collins Park area, the festival brought together acts such as Josh Wink, Baby Anne, and Paul van Dyk as a way to cap off the Winter Music Conference events that took over the city every March.
For weeks, Donald Trump gleefully boasted about the job his administration had done in helping Puerto Rico weather the monstrous Hurricane Maria, particularly noting that only 16 people had supposedly been killed. "Look at a real catastrophe like Katrina and... you look at what happened here," Trump said of the death toll in New Orleans...

It’s often inspired in its cutting and composition, and Garland has crafted sequences of strange splendor, including a too-short cosmic light show
Perhaps nothing unites Miamians more than our shared hatred for I-95. A simple morning commute on the godforsaken stretch of highway almost always means dodging drivers diving through the plastic poles to get to the express lanes, narrowly avoiding horrific crashes, and sitting in traffic jams that last long enough to allow for an impromptu yoga session.
Last week, state Sen. Dana Young and Rep. Carlos Guillermo-Smith reintroduced a bill that would ban the use of anabolic steroids in greyhound racing. Because of an outdated regulation, use of the drugs has been permitted in female greyhounds despite dangerous side effects.
Perhaps don't name your football team after a drunk ethnic stereotype hell-bent on violence. Notre Dame's staggeringly drunk leprechaun mascot doesn't seem to encourage great behavior.
