NWS, whose system I more prefer for day-planning, reports its forecasts in 12-hour, “6-to-6” chunks: daytime forecasts are for the 6 AM–6 PM period and nighttime for the 6 PM–6 AM period.

It’s just unfortunate that their weather forecasts on weather.gov are not as easy to get to on my smartphone. 😞
The National Weather Service’s weather forecast for my local area. An “Extended Forecast” is shown with a sequence if pictures to summarize the weather over the next 4 days and nights; a caption beneath each picture reports the corresponding highs or lows and explains the picture’s meaning. Beneath the “Extended Forecast” panel is a “Detailed Forecast” panel, where more information for each day and night is given in text only. For example, for today, the extended forecast shows a picture of a sunny sky with a caption to explain that the high will be 38 °F with sunny skies. The corresponding detailed forecast includes this information and further provides that wind will blow out of the “northwest at 7 to 11 mph” (10 to 18 km/h). Similarly, the picture for tonight is split vertically to show changing conditions as the night will progress. The left half shows a picture of moonlit clouds; the right half shows snowflakes falling and the text “20%”. The caption below the picture states the overnight low will be 25 °F with “Mostly Cloudy then Slight Chance Snow”. The corresponding detailed forecast further explains that snow may start around 2AM and could be accompanied by a 5 mph wind out of the south. “Chance of precipitation is 20%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.”

By reporting the highs and lows for a midnight-to-midnight period, it loses some utility required for me to plan my day and clothing situation. The summary, week-at-a-glance view shows only the forecasted highs and lows; I would have to expand the day’s forecast for an hourly breakdown.
A 10-day weather forecast for my area: forecasted highs in the mid-30s °F and forecasted lows around 20°. Weather will be cloudy most days, with a good chance for snow on the 4th day ahead. It’s worth highlighting that the temperature forecast shows only highs and lows, but not when those highs and lows are expected to occur; I would have to tap on the specific day to see the hourly breakdown.

Today’s inconsequential gripe: how the Apple Weather app reports daily highs and lows

While it’s not wrong, it goes against the “daytime highs” and “overnight lows” system that the National Weather Service (NWS) reports and TV forecasters commonly use

🧵/ 6
An example temperature forecast graph screenshotted from the Apple Weather app for a near-future day. X-axis is a 24-hour timespan, from midnight to midnight; Y-axis is temperature. Across the top of the graph are small moon, sun, and cloud icons aligned with the 1-hour intervals, indicating increasingly-cloudy skies are expected all day. The day’s high and low temperatures are thus identified: a high of 35 °F (2 °C) at the first midnight and a low of 23 °F (–5 °C) at the next midnight. The graph shows a bump shortly after noon, suggesting day’s afternoon high will be around 34 °F (1 °C), which goes unreported.

An edited version of the "I want to see it grow up healthy" meme: A screenshot of a survey of four statements that a respondent answered: "I want to see it grow up healthy": Strongly Agree "I want to tell my friends and neighbors about it": Strongly Agree "I love having a new [widdle]": Strongly Agree "I will protect it": Strongly Agree

I have to share this amazing fox art I found on #wplace this morning. Head is south of Minneapolis, MN, USA; tail is northwest of Fukushima, Japan. (Links in replies.)

I don't know the original art it's sourced from, nor who coordinated it. (Please tell me if you know!)
Two screenshots composited into a single image, showing two halves of a fox character painted in wplace.live. On the left of the image is its front half, drawn near Minneapolis, MN, USA; on the right is its back half, drawn near Fukushima, Japan. There are cracks drawn around the fox as part of the artwork, as if it crashed through the earth; the fox has an expression of disappointment or dismay, seemingly upset at its "crash landing". Various artwork, images, and map terrain surround both halves.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement today at 2?
A mock warning sign, showing a human riding a triceratops within a red circle overlaid with a red slash going from top left to bottom right. Below, text reads, “Please do not ride the triceratops”.

A large standee of Eufuria’s purple, anthropomorphic raccoon mascot, Joy, set up near the Registration Desk of the Eufuria furry convention. They are raising their left paw high with an excited expression, as if wanting to grab your attention. Taped to an announcement board that Joy is holding is a flyer with instructions on how to register for the convention online.

In other words:
What may appear to be a shy "lizard" on the macro-scale is in reality (when magnified at the atomic level) a pooltoy made of "polyvinyl chloride", except the chlorine atoms are replaced by tiny lizards

Going full vinyl never feels wrong ;)

Totally *not* related to my newest art... 😗~🎶
Screenshot of a twitter post, with text edited to read: "My neighbor told me [fox tfs] keep [ripping] his [fancy suits] so I asked how many [suits] he has and he said he just goes to the [store] and gets a new [suit] afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just [got a kink for ripped clothes fox tfs] and this [wallet] started crying."

A beautiful piece of art received from @knuciuc.com, inspired by a hike I took last spring in the foothills outside Denver, Colorado.
Of-Deepest-Thunder walking shirtless along a dirt path through a meadow, with sparse trees to his left and right. A magpie rests upon his outstretched finger.

I can personally recommend @hr-bananabird.bsky.social if you’re interested in something like this - great artist and a pleasure to work with!

An edit of the "I will protect it" survey meme. Three statements are provided: "I will protect him", "I want to see him grow up healthy", and "I want to tell my friends and neighbors about him". Next to each of the three questions are 5 radio buttons labeled, in order from left to right, "Strongly Disagree", "Disagree", "Neutral", "Agree", and "Strongly Agree". In line with the original meme, the "Strongly Agree" radio button is selected for all three questions.

Me when someone asks me how I'm feeling
A ternary graph (3-axis spectrum in the shape of an equilateral triangle) that has been edited to illustrate the three identities that blend together into myself image: With-Quiet-Paws the fox on one axis or leg of the triangle, Thunkatoo the bird on a second axis, and Of-Deepest-Thunder the lizard on the third axis.

Found myself in a chimera mood today, which may accurately reflect my current state of mind :p
A bust of my sonas in a three-headed chimera body shape. The main, center head is of my fox sona (Quiet Paws); the head to the viewer's left is the lizard, Of-Deepest-Thunder; and the head to the right is my not-often-shown bird sona, Thunkatoo the cockatoo.
