Research parks were designed for working. That's starting to change.
Research Triangle Park in North Carolina is one of the country's largest research parks, but for most of its 65-year history it was designed for exactly one thing: weekday work.

Deutsche Bahn having some fun with the Apple announcement.

A German-language meme playing on Apple product naming conventions and product designs using German Intercity Express (ICE) high-speed trains.
At the top, bold black text reads: "Wenn unsere Züge aus Cupertino kämen:" (If our trains came from Cupertino:).
Below are four vertically stacked illustrations of an ICE train car, each paired with a name parodying Apple products:
 * iCE: A standard-looking front car of a sleek white German ICE train with a red stripe.
 * iCE Pro Max: An oversized, exaggeratedly tall and thick version of the train car.
 * iCE Air: An extremely thin, ultra-slender version of the train car.
 * iCE Duo: A train car depicted with a clamshell or folding mechanism in the middle, similar to a foldable smartphone.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.
