The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Fuck me sideways, Meta really is a fucking toxic business. Totally ignoring the privacy and hoovering 187,000 lines from a journalist’s Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being off.

They aren’t worried Roko’s basilisk will kill them; they’re worried it wont exist to grant them immortality.

I suspect that this is actually asking about the favourite album of a band/artist you only half liked.

There’s a Hammer of the Gods style book about Depeche Mode that needs to be written.

More fiddling with my #watercolor experiments. Added where the colours sit on the gamut solid, and what they are. Ran it through a shader to make it look more like watercolour itself, and put it on a white background. All to avoid working on the app’s marketing.

Justin Stach @stach.uk · 01/07/2026

A little bit obsessed with these visualisations of reachable colour in #watercolor sets.

Justin Stach @stach.uk · 30/06/2026

I wanted to visualise the colours that commonly available #watercolour palettes are able to reach (part of a feature I'm working on for my app Undertint). For fun, I've made a tool to compare them side-by-side. I think they're rather lovely in their own right. justin.stach.uk/palette-spac...

The image shows a 3d solid representing the colours that the Holbein 24 colour Artist's Watercolours Set can reach. It is irregular and rainbow-coloured.

If there was a copyright claim against these listings, eBay would have these down in minutes.

The desired range of colours in this case is those need to paint flowers (and based on lots of photos of flowers), so you can see lots of greens, yellows, reds, and not so much on the dark blues.

Playing with a new feature for Undertint: does my palette enable me to be paint a desired range of colours.

Conceding that perhaps today the butter may indeed need to go in the fridge.

another big one for me is how extreme wealth inequality less a moral issue and more a security risk so much money that you're insulated from every conceivable fuckup demonstrably makes you stupid like the power to drag the entire world off a cliff with you and be the only one with a parachute

Solid and thoughtful. And I couldn’t agree more with, ‘Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content’.

Justin Stach @stach.uk · 14/06/2026

Interesting that Starmer, like Corbyn seems to elicit the same visceral but never explicable reaction from normal folks. Makes me wonder just what is it about Labour leaders that prevents them clicking with the general public.

My latest project, “Tatebanko” (Mac, iPad, iPhone) to create interactive paper dioramas. Shown is a Hokusai tatebanko from @mfaboston.bsky.social Author shapes and folds, then build! Trace-to-cut, pinch-to-fold, and drag-to-position in an adjustable 3D scene. Sugoi!

Musk has very clearly demonstrated what we always knew. The weighting of what gets shown by a platform is an editorial action.

Justin Stach @stach.uk · 11/06/2026

All this and still we don’t treat the social media platforms as publishers. Unbelievable.

Back Rooms is very good, but even better was the two incredibly freaked out people frozen in the cinema’s dark exit corridor because they were trying to push the door open from the hinge side.

So good. Went to the superb market and ALL THE CUPBOARDS WERE BARE.

My background is architecture and design, and when I started my career every designer could draw, and draw well. At some point in my career I noticed that people had stopped drawing well, it became a nice little skill that some would use for flair.
