Carhartt WIP Taps Okniceok for Pencil-Drawn T-Shirt Collection
Summary Carhartt WIPenlisted New York-basedOknotok, also known as Danny Ische, for a run of graphic T-shirts. Culling inspiration from childhood memory and internet culture, the illustrative wearables deliver nostalgia, pixelated play with a photorealist bite. The capsule includes several designs across men and women's fits, two of which are available in black and white. Keeping it classic, all three tees are emblazoned with the Carhartt WIP on the front chest, though reimagined by the artist's surrealist signature. The emblematic 'C' takes on the form of a spiral staircase and poised swan, while a toss of print press lettering spells out the brand in full. The back of each shirt is covered in a dense pencil collage: one design presents a carnival of animal of animals interwoven with Greek columns and architectural accents. Another evokes the spirit of spring, with smiling characters and flowers rendered through deft, graphite shading and bold line work. With fall around the corner, the women's tee adopts a more atmospheric feel with a dreamy mosaic of falling angels, candelabras and jack-o'-lanterns. Check out the pieces in the gallery above. The Carhartt WIP x Okniceok collection is available now via the brand'swebstore.

17 Sitcom Couples Who'd Be Longg Divorced IRL
Let's be real: some sitcom couples only work because they're fictional. We're not talking about the Chandler and Monicas — those two will last forever in our hearts. We're talking about the couples that would've collapsed very easily if they weren't left in the confines of a 25-minute episode full of laughing tracks. Over on Reddit, TV fans are sharing the sitcom couples that would totally be divorced or broken up IRL, and the responses are painfully accurate. Even better, some users added the breaking point that led to their ultimate split. Here's some of the funniest and brutally valid takes: "Mitch and Cam on Modern Family. The constant bickering and manipulation just got unbearable to watch. I don't know If there would be a breaking point, but more of a build up — any episode after season five would've been enough to end it." "Homer and Marge from The Simpsons. That one episode where they show how much better off Marge would've been if she hadn't married Homer? They played it off as a joke but we see of their relationship is Homer constantly being a selfish, neglectful, and sometimes dangerous partner. WHY DO THEY STAY TOGETHER?" "Boy Meets World: Cory and Topanga — they have zero things in common." "Leonard and Penny from The Big Bang Theory. They have nothing in common and she's constantly making fun of his nerd hobbies. He's only with her for her looks and he doesn't support her dreams or decisions. The breaking point: When he cheated on her during his North Sea expedition and didn't tell her about it until they were on their way to their Vegas elopement." "Ross and Rachel from Friends really did love each other but they never work out for very long. Although they reunited in the finale, if they married one day, it would be yet another divorce for Ross." "Definitely Doug and Carrie [from The King of Queens] would be divorced. I can think of about 50 reasons why she should've divorced him by midway through the series. When he sabotaged her trying to make new work friends and gaslighted her about it — that definitely would have been the breaking point! I would have started throwing all his shit out the window." "George & Angie from The George Lopez Show. She was smarter and he was always putting her down or telling her to shut up. Plus, he let his mom be mean to her. That relationship pissed me off since the beginning." "Pam and Jim from The Office. Something tells me their dirty laundry airing on TV would open up some wounds." "Dre and Rainbow from Blackish. I hated how Dre's another momma's boy who would constantly talk down to Rainbow and her family. But if she said anything about Ruby, he would flip. He told her she could quit her job and when she did, he had a problem with it. I couldn't finish the series, he just got too annoying." "Becky and Jesse on Full House. So much of their marriage revolved around raising those three girls. I could see a weird version of empty nest syndrome destroying their relationship." "Marshall and Lily [from How I Met Your Mother] make me crazy because while I understand her motives early on for the California stuff, the final season unwinding their relationship made me so annoyed by her." "Jay and Michael from My Wife and Kids end up seeming like a good couple with a good family. But when you watch more, you see some really garbage things. Michael is horribly unsupportive, bullies his son for his intelligence, and is extremely overprotective of his daughter. I think the last straw would be when he confesses that he's been having sex with Jay while she's asleep because she wakes up with her underwear off. That always made me feel weirdly sick to my stomach for such a light-hearted show." "Niles on Frasier probably eventually divorced Daphne because during their courtship and marriage, she grew increasingly mean and bossy. She quickly changed from being anything like the Daphne he used to silently love. " "Ray and Debra from Everybody Loves Raymond. Debs just gotta be so tired of the shit that stupid idiot man-child pulls." "I'm watching Married with Children right now. It's like a toxic co-dependency. They constantly fight, but they can't separate because they've built their identities around the dysfunction. And I mean, who else will want them?" "Martin and Gina from Martin — the breaking point would have been his mom. Martin was a total momma's boy who never stood up for Gina. Or the first proposal he gave her when she was leaving. Quote: 'will you marry me Gina, damn.'" "Every single couple on Rules of Engagement. They all lie to each other constantly. It's like marriage is a competition." Let's face it, most sitcom couples wouldn't make it in real life. After all, the drama, miscommunication, and the huge red flags are great for TV — but awful for an actual relationship. If any of these couples are your faves, it's best to take these with a grain of salt. 💔💔 Which sitcom couple do you think would've broken up IRL?

Southern sorority girls put through 'psychological warfare' in cutthroat Bama Rush recruitment: coach
Sorority recruitment at the University of Alabama, better known as "Bama Rush," has become a viral cultural moment, with thousands watching to see which houses incoming freshmen join. It's a week defined by carefully coordinated outfits, whirlwind conversations, and now, millions of TikTok views. While rush has always been a high-stakes tradition in the South, the social media age has turned it into a viral spectacle. Videos from the University of Alabama's sorority rush week went viral on TikTok in 2021. The #bamarush and #alabamarush hashtags on TikTok have attracted millions of views during the past few years and continue to do so. "It's emotional boot camp. It's psychological warfare," Brandis Bradley, a sorority coach, told PEOPLE of the process of primary recruitment. "And their frontal lobes aren't even fully developed." For two members of Zeta Tau Alpha — senior Kylan Darnell and junior Kaiden Kilpatrick — the reality of Greek life is personal and powerful after the two women harnessed social media to attract thousands of viewers to their pages. Darnell didn't grow up with Southern sorority culture. The reigning Miss Ohio Teen USA at the time, she arrived at Alabama from a small town with little knowledge of what rush even entailed. "I was the first person from my high school to go to Alabama," Darnell told Fox News Digital. "I had no idea about the culture, and honestly, I felt clueless. When I got to orientation and other girls started talking about rush, I had to ask, 'What is that?'" That same night, she got her first real taste of what sorority life looked like when a group of girls and their mothers took her down Sorority Row. She was instantly hooked. "I called my mom and said, 'Mother, I have to try to be in a sorority,'" she recalled. "But my parents weren't on board at first. My mom said no. My dad said, 'We're not paying for friends.'" "He told me, 'You're the most outgoing girl we know, you'll be fine without it.' But I kept pushing. Daddy listened to his little princess," she added with a laugh. "Eventually, I talked them into it." A spontaneous TikTok she made on the first day of recruitment, originally sent to her family's text message group chat to explain the process to her family, went viral while she was still in orientation. Within hours, her life changed. "That first video was supposed to be a video diary for my family," she said. "But I posted it on TikTok, and when I came back from convocation, my phone had blown up. I couldn't believe it." Her audience grew overnight. "After that, my life completely changed," she said. "I became financially independent and was able to pay for the rest of college through TikTok. It launched my platform, and gave me a voice." But that platform came with a price. Darnell, now with 1.2 million followers and over 82 million likes, said the scrutiny became overwhelming. "It's been fun and I wouldn't trade it, but it's also been really hard to navigate college while being under a microscope," she said. "People forget that we're real people." Kaiden Kilpatrick, who joined Zeta in 2023 and now has over 228,000 TikTok followers of her own, echoed that sentiment, but said social media also brought access. "It's helping more than anything, but it creates a 'highlight reel,'" Kilpatrick told Fox News Digital. "Recruitment is so much more than TikTok trends. It's about finding people who push you to grow. The challenge is reminding everyone there's real connection and purpose behind all the aesthetics." Darnell agreed, and this year, she chose to take a step back. "I didn't want to keep posting just for views," she said. "When my younger sister started rushing, the comments about her were brutal. I needed to protect my peace." She also acknowledged how quickly things can turn toxic. "The comments start coming in, and suddenly it's not fun anymore. It used to be something I was proud to show. But people began making assumptions about my sorority or my sister, and it was exhausting." Both women shared the impact of the community of high achievers that their sorority has provided. "Leadership isn't just about holding a title," said Kilpatrick. "It's about showing up for people on their worst days, not just their best. Loyalty isn't blind. It's choosing to have someone's back even when it's hard or inconvenient." For Darnell, an aspiring sports broadcaster, the value of Greek life showed up in one unforgettable moment when she was connected to renowned sports broadcaster Erin Andrews. "Right after I ran home to Zeta, I got a call from Erin Andrews. She's a Zeta too," she said. "She told me, 'Good job, little Kylan — I can't wait to see you fill my shoes.' That was surreal." Beyond the glamour, she said, the real value is in the way sororities support driven women. "People think it's all parties and outfits, but I've met some of the most motivated, career-focused women I know through my sorority," she said. "Being surrounded by girls who are also striving for something, it helped me push toward my dreams too." "It's more than social life. It's GPA standards, philanthropy, leadership training. My house emphasizes academics and it's full of girls who are future CEOs, doctors, broadcasters." Still, both women admit the future of RushTok is uncertain. With growing scrutiny, misconceptions, and pressure, they're not sure the next wave of college freshmen will document the process as openly. "It's getting to the point where I don't think girls will keep posting," Darnell said. "The negativity is too much. It used to be so fun, now it's stressful." "You have girls getting judged on what they wear, where they end up, and then complete strangers attack the sororities when things don't go the way they expected. That's not what this is about." Kilpatrick echoed the concern but expressed hope. "Instead of tearing girls down for being 'too much,'" she said, "we should be celebrating the fact that they're putting themselves out there in a high-pressure environment where it's way easier to hide." "At a school where tradition is everything," she added, "I see my role as honoring it, but also making sure it evolves with the women in it." At the University of Alabama, on Aug. 17 at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, is when thousands of students find out which sorority has accepted their membership bid.
