Israeli forces begin to withdraw from a key Gaza corridor, part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas
Israeli forces were withdrawing from a key corridor that bisects the Gaza Strip on Sunday as part of Israel’s commitments under a tenuous ceasefire deal with Hamas. “We are preparing to implement the agreement regarding Netzarim axis,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds' losing 'image war' against Justin Baldoni: expert
What was initially believed to be Blake Lively addressing issues about her "It Ends With Us" director and co-star, Justin Baldoni, in a complaint filed with the California Civil Rights Department, troubles have since spiraled into multiple lawsuits between the actors and finger-pointing on either side. Now with more than one year until an official trial, experts believe the court of public opinion has heavily influenced the cases with mismanaged public relations woven in between.

Fashion's most hated garment — the skinny jean — is making a comeback

Part of the buzz around skinny jeans undoubtedly came when TikTok star and Gen Z influencer Alix Earle debuted a pair of exclusive skinnies with denim brand Frame at the end of January, but the hype was already building before that.

New clothes feel cheap? They really don't make them like they used to
You’re not imagining it: Well-made clothing is harder to come by. The U.S. fashion industry is having a hard time maintaining quality standards amid stiff competition from overseas rivals and supply-chain shakeups. Twenty-seven percent of textile and apparel professionals reported that ensuring consistent quality was “difficult” or “very difficult” over the past year, up from 23% in 2024, according to a recent survey the product auditing firm QIMA provided to NBC News. “There has been a significant reduction in the quality of the fabric for a number of the major brands and retailers,” said Margaret Bishop, a textile development and marketing professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She said the decline intensified during the recovery from the pandemic, when apparel makers scrambled to untangle disrupted supply chains and contended with weak sales during global lockdowns.
