Street Reporters
In order to keep up with the ever-increasing volume of f*ckery in Florida, we’re calling for participation in a citizens journalism initiative.

Terms of Use in a Nutshell
Basically, we ain’t responsible for shit, you ain’t responsible for shit, everyone can say whatever the fuck they want. Nobody can (successfully) sue us for libel, because our shit’s tight and we only report facts directly from arrest affidavits or other news sources. Nobody can sue use for making fun of them because of 17 […] »

Animals
Written by: Venerable K. Sri Dhammananda Maha Thera Animals are said to be conscious only of the present. They live with no concern for the past or future. Likewise, little children seem to have no notion of the future. They also live in the present until their faculties of memory and imagination are developed. »

Flo Rida
One of our readers asked several important questions about WTF Florida: “Hey you know how you guys are in Florida and there’s that one guy called Flo Rida? Are you both related? Am I racist for asking?” Here is our answer: We’re all related, in some abstract way. But no, he’s not an official sponsor. […] »

Michael Wenzel’s Next Disposition: August 21, 2018
The case of Michael Wenzel was stifled in the 12th court, in Bradenton where his father works for Manatee County as the planning section manager. It seems to be stalling in the 13th court, as we’re seeing disposition after disposition, charges dropped for Spencer Heintz, and justice delayed. With our watchful eye, the public will […] »

Dewie Brewton, Brad King, and why we care
This case is about being held accountable for your actions. What Dewie did was illegal. His actions violate FSS 828.24. The FWC guidelines set by the AVMA explicitly prohibit drowning as a means for euthanizing an animal. There were other options, including release in a safe area outside of the school. Morally, of course, there […] »

Dramatic Journalism
Not all is as it seems. News media must be dramatic. There are bits of truth and delusion in every article and meme we are exposed to. Without fail, with every expression of reality things are lost, and other things are added. Do not allow your mind to be swayed too quickly, nor respond too […] »
Is It ‘Florida Men’ or ‘Florida Mans’ when referring to the editorial ‘Florida Man?’
It is Florida Mans. ‘Florida Mans’ is the plural form of ‘Florida Man’ because Florida Man and Florida Woman are proper nouns. ‘Florida Woman’ becomes a group of ‘Florida Womans,’ and not simply an ordinary group of ‘Florida women.’ »
“Stand Your Ground” and Race
“Stand Your Ground” legislation has a “quantifiable racial bias” according to a study published in 2015. Vice reports that “from 2005 to 2013, juries were twice as likely to convict the perpetrator of a crime against a white person than against a person of color.” Hopefully by talking openly about these statistics we can one […] »
Emma Gonzalez
Meet the Queen of WTF Florida. The one who triggered all the radical gun nuts. The high school student who made grown men quiver in fear and retaliate with threats, conspiracies, and insults.

The Villages
The Villages is the world’s largest retirement community, spanning 3 counties in the middle of Florida. They drive golf carts everywhere, from Publix to the doctor to any place that sells alcohol.

Facebook’s just trying to compensate because they know they fucked up by selling millions of ads to Russians during the elections. Yep, all those “Keep America […] »
Politics are Polytricks
Just to be clear, we don’t take “political party” sides. All of them are stupid, in their own unique way. Peaceful ideals are not enough to cure the divide as the corporate machine has dug its vacuum into politics and extracts power from us for profit. We provide to them the most valuable assets in […] »
