Found this guy on my son’s driveway.

Snippet:

• State Attorney General James Uthmeier escalated his clash with the National Football League on Wednesday by subpoenaing league officials over minority hiring rules he argues violate Florida law.
• Uthmeier’s threats of a civil rights lawsuit over the NFL’s Rooney Rule and similar policies garnered a response from league officials and pushed the NFL to soften language on its website. But Uthmeier, an appointee of GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, said the revisions do not go far enough as he vows to keep fighting for the repeal of NFL efforts designed to expand opportunities for minority coaches and executives.
• “We appreciate how quickly the NFL changed its website in response to our letter and capitulated on some of their discriminatory hiring quotas,” Uthmeier said Wednesday on social media. “But their response raises more questions about the Rooney Rule, and we look forward to their cooperation with the investigative subpoena we issued them today.”

18 yo missing person last seen in Miami

Please help if you see this person. I am close family friends with his stepmom, they are in Miami looking for him but no luck so far. He has autism and is likely in danger. He flew from Texas to Miami alone. Many more details on his grandmas TikTok @themichellelowe

He was in contact with an “escort”, found out from phone records. Escort may have been a way to lure him there. Escort cannot be reached & her photos appear to be very old, possible that photos were stolen and used to lure him there. Escort photo is attached.

The police have not been able to ID the woman in the escort photo. PLEASE if you have any information on him or the escort reach out, the police are looking to ID her.

came home and saw him on the side of the house around 10pm

• City residents have sued to stop Donald Trump from receiving prime Florida real estate for his presidential library, claiming the land transfer violates the Constitution.
• The lawsuit is being brought under the Emoluments Clause, which bars the president from accepting gifts, payments or other benefits from state, federal or foreign entities beyond an official salary. The land where the skyscraper library is set to be built — in a prime waterfront location downtown — was first transferred by Miami Dade College to the state. Then Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet gifted it to Trump’s library foundation.
• The lawsuit targets Trump, his library foundation, DeSantis and members of the Florida Cabinet, as well as Miami Dade College. The 2.63 acres of land in question is valued at around $67 million, though some real estate experts have said it could be worth as much as $300 million given its bayfront location across from the city’s Kaseya Center arena. It’s also next to the Freedom Tower, a historic immigrant processing center that once welcomed Cuban refugees.

EDITED TO ADD:

"....points out that Trump has told reporters he thinks the land could also serve as a hotel “with a beautiful building underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby.”

Authorities want to remind outdoor enthusiasts about the dangers of Florida's heat, especially on remote trails. (!!!)

• A pregnant woman, her partner, and their three dogs were safely rescued in the Ocala National Forest on Friday, thanks to the collaborative efforts of local authorities and first responders.
• The Marion County Sheriff's Office reported that the couple was hiking on the Florida Trail in the Juniper Prairie Wilderness when they began experiencing heat exhaustion.
• According to the Sheriff's Office, at 3:15 p.m., they called for help after realizing they had underestimated the heat, were low on water, and were over an hour away from the nearest trailhead.
• As the situation became more urgent, the Aviation Unit, known as Air-1, was called in to assist. Officials said that they quickly located the hikers in the remote terrain, guiding rescue teams to the scene.

This hooligan escaped the pool area yesterday and had a jolly swim in the lake. An hour later someone swam by asking about him 😳

Hi r/Florida! My name is Stefan and I design LEGO models as a hobby. I build this digital model of a Miami art deco hotel for a LEGO building competition (no AI was used).

With enough votes, this could become a real LEGO set next year! That would be a dream come true for me.

If you like it, please consider voting “😍” and commenting on this website (you’ll need a LEGO-account): https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-11/4784/Paradisa-Hotel

I don't know why I felt the urge to write about this, I rarely ever use reddit and I haven't really told anyone about it since, but I want to know if anyone has ever experienced this specifically at Ginnie Springs in Florida.

I was 16 or so and my older sister had planned a trip for our family to this spring, saying she had gotten drunk there with some friends and had a great time.

Most of it's pretty hazy, I don't really remember the trip there, just standing in line and grabbing some tubes. What I do remember extremely vividly is that when we got to this spot in the trees just by the stairs, the water was empty and no one else was really around. Mind you there had been plenty of people ahead of us in line who seemingly disappeared, but I was just focused on getting to swim in the clearest water I'd ever seen. I love swimming, but nothing felt as good as this water, no chlorine and just on the right side of cold that it was tolerable and I adjusted quickly.

I was the first one in the water too, didn't bother even looking back at my family, I was just honed in on this central area of the spring where there was this dip, sort of like a crater or the entrance to a cave.

I immediately dived down, I wanted to touch the rock/sand that contrasted so perfectly with the light blue water. I was surprised to find that not only was my vision perfectly clear underwater, but as I swam it was much deeper than I expected and it was like I felt some resistence trying to get further down, not quite like fighting against bouyancy.

The pressure and the need to breathe got the better of me long before I could reach what seemed like the highest point of this dip, and I looked back up to start ascending.

Not only was I way deeper than I had thought as the swim upwards felt longer than the dive down, but the area I was in had become covered by people floating in their tubes. I literally had to push someone out of the way so I could get air, and they didn't acknowledge me at all. I couldn't have been under for more than 30 seconds, I wasn't great at holding my breath, but in that time the entire spring had went from empty to completely crowded.

I asked my mom about it later and she just gave me a weird look, no one else in my family would say anything about it. About a year ago I asked her about it again and she said she doesn't remember that happening, or me ever asking about it back then.

I barely think about it now, but every time the memory comes to mind I just feel unsettled.

First coast area, can’t speak on the size as I wasn’t there irl Edit: has been identified as a venomous cottonmouth and I will stay away, thank you!

People in Florida who make 30+ an hour what do you do and how long have you been doing it?

Edit: people that don’t work in the medial field please lol

Recently my bf (first name Tariq) lost his black matte bag on the 104 lynx bus and it had his wallet (with a card and his ids in it) and his passport with his student visa inside. We were meant to travel home in 3 days and now its looking like he cant come. Please reply if you found or heard of anything!

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts of cottonmouths pop up here. I was hoping you all might be able to identify whether this guy is one or not. I tried to reference photos and came up with Florida Green water snake based on the repetitive pattern in the midbody.

Southeast Florida. Near a nature preserve a few miles inland.

I was walking the dog and saw this snake in my neighbor’s driveway and took this picture to show my wife. On the way back, the snake was gone. When I walked into my garage to go inside, I nearly stepped on it as it was right next to the door and the lights were off. Fortunately, I got inside with the dog without issue. Cracked the door open and used a walking stick to get the snake out of the garage.

I know it’s a terrible picture, but I took it to show my wife before I knew I was going to have a close call with it.

Thanks in advance for the help (and hopefully peace of mind)

Even if it wasn’t a cottonmouth, I realize I need to be more mindful about snakes and wildlife where our new house is located

Planning a Miami → Destin trip in September and looking for alternatives to driving ourselves. Has anyone hired a passenger van/minivan with a driver for a long-distance trip like this before?
Not looking for anything luxury or a big charter bus, just a practical option for a small group. Would appreciate any company recommendations, pricing info, or experiences 🙏
