Just like K-pop, bingsu has taken Hawai‘i by storm over the last few years. It’s an addictive Korean take on Hawai‘i-style shave ice. Distinctly fluffier and more delicate, the base of bingsu is made from milk instead of water, giving it a creamier texture that’s less crystalized. Typically, the picturesque dessert is served with heaping mounds of toppings, like fruit, azuki beans mochi balls, boba, even cheesecake slices—vastly different from syrup-laden shave ice. Here are some of our favorite bingsu cafés around O‘ahu.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
