EchoingEagle+FollowHawaii hoops heating up: Can UTEP keep up?Hawaii’s basketball squad is on fire this season, outscoring opponents by over 18 points per game and dominating the boards. Every time they grab more rebounds than their rivals, they win—no exceptions so far. UTEP, meanwhile, struggles when they can’t keep up on the glass. With both teams shooting well and bringing energy, this matchup could be a real test of grit and hustle. Will Hawaii’s rebounding edge decide it, or can UTEP flip the script? Who do you think has the momentum going into this one? #Sports #CollegeBasketball #Hawaii00Share
pbrewer+Followhonolulu: paradise or prisoner’s island? 🌺🌊 Everyone posts about Honolulu like it’s heaven on earth — turquoise waves, luaus at sunset, a mai tai in hand. So when I finally went, I expected peace. Instead, I felt trapped inside a postcard. Waikiki was wall-to-wall tourists, sunscreen in the air, and $22 cocktails served with plastic flowers. Locals worked double shifts at resorts they could never afford to stay in. I asked a bartender if she ever went to the beach after work — she laughed. “Are you kidding? I can’t even afford the parking.” The island’s beauty is undeniable, but it’s guarded by walls of money. Tourists chase “aloha spirit,” but many Hawaiians say it’s been stolen — replaced by hashtags and hotel slogans. Maybe paradise isn’t supposed to feel like someone else’s job. #Travel #Hawaii2211Share
