Porn sites are hiding code in .svg files:
Unpacking the attack took work because much of the JavaScript in the .svg images was heavily obscured using a custom version of “JSFuck,” a technique that uses only a handful of character types to encode JavaScript into a camouflaged wall of text.
Once decoded, the script causes the browser to download a chain of additional obfuscated JavaScript. The final payload, a known malicious script called Trojan.JS.Likejack, induces the browser to like a specified Facebook post as long as a user has their account open.
“This Trojan, also written in Javascript, silently clicks a ‘Like’ button for a Facebook page without the user’s knowledge or consent, in this case the adult posts we found above,” Malwarebytes researcher Pieter Arntz wrote. “The user will have to be logged in on Facebook for this to work, but we know many people keep Facebook open for easy access.”
This isn’t a new trick. We’ve seen Trojaned .svg files before.

It was sunshowering most of the afternoon, so without doing anything as sensible as looking for rainbows, I went for a walk with my ancient digital camera which now turns itself off at regularly inopportune moments and still managed to capture some rain-dusted flowers.

The latest fruit of college radio has been Mona's "Kiss Like a Woman" (2018) and the all-ages cute queerness of its video. Since I had just been talking to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch about Charles Mee, I was extremely happy to see that the (re)making project is still online. The shell-shocking student production of The Trojan Woman: A Love Story (1994) which I saw at Brandeis in 2002 had been substantially, correctly rearranged from the original text. It triggered short fiction of mine directly and I still think about it.

My humor blog this week saw the end of Sonic the Hedgehog fan fiction for a while and the start of something I bet you haven't seen from me before! Also, a bunch of nonsense that I'm blaming on the heat wave making me think goofily. Here's the roster:
- MiSTed: The 72 Hours Saga, Part 52
- I Guess This Explains Why I Never See Groundhogs on the Roller Coasters
- Statistics Saturday: What Cartoon Ducks Are Up To Right Now
- The Average Is Driven Up by the Tailoring Community Though
- Heat's Not Really Doing Anyone Favors Here
- What's Going On In Prince Valiant? Who is Haraldr and why is he protecting Valiant? May - August 2025
- We've Had Some Setbacks on the _Beetle Bailey_ Squirrel Front
- MiSTed: The Tale of Jimmy Rabbit, Part 1
With that done, or started, let me share the rest of those Marvin's October pictures.
I know I've taken pictures of it before but have you ever really looked at the Vigorous Strength and Healthy Color by this Vibratory Doctor?
A promise made by the Vibratory Doctor. Apparently it's literally a vibrating machine and it only looks like someone's hooked a firehose up to his ding-dong.
And you know, I didn't remember the wooden dinosaur skeletons.
Banner for Walt Disney Animated Pictures's Dinosaur! Remember that? Even if you worked on the movie do you have any memory of it at all? Yeah, I agree, this movie does not exist.
Animatronic player at a dusty old piano way up past where you could reach or even see apart from the dusty mirror perched above it. This is maybe the Marvin's experience distilled.
The figure on the left claims to be a Honkey Tonk Piano and from the weird way the arms attach I'm supposing that it's supposed to rhythmically twitch while music plays.
Lollipop-style weight scale that the sign observes didn't actually get used very long because people might pay a penny to weigh themselves on the street but they didn't want people around them seeing what their weight was.
bunnyhugger bows to ask Frith to intercede on behalf of the museum.
This is the row of mechanical stuff that's one aisle back from Pinball Row. You can see the coin-op carousel in the center background.
The sign saying how you're reentering the grim reality was not over the exit but rather over the start of that row I showed you in the picture above.
More of looking up at Marvin's; there's a banner advertising how they have a The Cardiff Giant.
Oh, and posters for a couple other Disney movies that don't exist, The Tigger Movie and Return to Never-Land. Remember them? No, not even you who worked on them.
Trivia: James Heerbrand, a professor of theology in the German city of Tübingen, accused Pope Gregory XIII of being the Roman Antichrist, and that the Gregorian calendar was designed to trick real Christians into worshipping on the incorrect holy days. He called the pope Gregorius calendarifex, ``Gregory the calendar maker''.

I've passed my mother part of my sashiko thread cache---just Olympus yellow and leaf-green, a few little skeins each. After her cataract surgery, she can see well enough to handstitch with thick thread, an activity she hasn't felt comfortable doing for 20 years. Great.
My hands are almost at a point where I could try finishing the handsewn Stowe bag that uses sashiko-style stitching as decoration. It was absolutely correct early in 2022 to put the bag on hold indefinitely, and I don't need it except as a calibration tool; I could knit or crochet something more usable without buying anything. (A example of a useful bag pattern that isn't the endless string bags and netted shopping totes: Basket Bag.) I think I'd like to finish the Stowe as an art object sometime, when it'd be less of (sorry) a reach.
My main yarn project is almost stitch-complete. Because its knitted analogy to sewing twill tape into a seam or armhole-edge (applied icord, against stretch) is rather boring, I've begun not one but two projects meanwhile that may never see completion. I'm okay with it: the main project really is almost finished as a result. It's a knit-crochet hybrid that uses yarn left from the round blanket, and if I can photograph them, they'll be best done together. So very many yarn-ends.
The two infrastructural-support projects would be fine to make for real. It's fine if they're unreal, too, as garments that may not fit: Luminos and Cedarvale. Storebought cap-sleeved tees similar to Luminos were once my workaround for summertime office-casual wear or a stab at cocktail attire, depending on the fabric. Somehow, my shoulders have outgrown the cap-sleeved Boden top I wore in 2019.
(My left shoulder has untwisted in the past year from the last bits of childhood scoliosis/kyphosis. Just some full watering cans, occasional forearm-sink pushups, and gentle range-of-motion stretching to help that shoulder settle---even less structured than the standard pushups and forearm planks I did regularly in 2019. I dunno! Peri may be a factor for slightly bulkier deltoid muscles, via declining estrogen.)
When my hands can manage finishing the Stowe bag, they ought also to be able to handstitch the seams of a muslin/toile (modern sense, a test attempt) for a short-sleeved sewn top. They won't be happy with a sewing machine's vibrations for longer, if ever; tiny steps. But that's why the question in the other post came up---sewing a bit no longer seems completely impossible, and if I've outgrown sideways my tidy, non-bulky tops that were already the least bad outcomes from some rather clever shopping, I may need to make something.

If you sew garments from others' patterns at all (even if it's been a while), which patternmakers do you like?
Some good-quality designers I'm aware of are Muna and Broad, Closet Core, Itch to Stitch, Merchant & Mills.
If we disregard niceties such as matching a print at fronts/seams, I'm low intermediate, not beginner; I can look at a line drawing and discard a pattern as not possible for a specific individual's shape. I last went looking for patterns 10-12 years ago! A lot of indie designers have entered the market since then, and the big four---Simplicity, Butterick, Vogue, and McCalls---are kind of dead.
(I'm not in a hurry to sew anything, either. Only asking for ideas.)

Rating: M
Length: 11,758
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: WonkyElk on AO3, cookiemom6067 on AO3, cookiemom6067 on the Audiofic Archive
Themes: Marriage of Convenience, First time, Hurt/comfort, Complete AU
Summary: “Damn it, John, you’re thirty-six, and you’ve never had a stable relationship.”
Patrick Sheppard adjusted his tie and gave him that familiar look, that 'I’m trying to love you, son, but you just keep on disappointing me’ expression, which had started somewhere around John’s eleventh or twelfth birthday - just as soon as he got an ounce of healthy rebellion - and had rarely left his dad’s face since.
Reccer's Notes: Ronon plays matchmaker in this marriage of convenience, recommending Rodney to John, who's undertaking the marriage mostly to piss off his father, but also to strengthen his place in the company hierarchy. Rodney seems the perfect spouse to annoy Patrick Sheppard, being brash, and, most importantly, male. But then it turns out they get on remarkably well, and eventually Rodney encourages John to be himself, not continue to try to please his (impossible to please) father. There's angst, character development, romance, and some action/adventure, until they work it out. An excellent read!

Going through old links today, I came across this cover from Weki Meki's Ji Suyeon that I'd set aside to listen to back in February and then forgotten about.
The original, sung by Choi Yu Ree for the Disney+ original series Call It Love is available here, if you're interested. Choi Yu Ree's voice seems to be stronger than Suyeon's, but that could be a side-effect of production — even though they're both singing over the same backing track, they're not recorded under identical conditions, so it's still not completely a 1:1 comparison. If you skip ahead to 3:00, I think Suyeon's voice is stronger on the higher notes (come on: did you really expect me not to find a way to defend Suyeon?), but they both sang really well.

Theme: Marriage of convenience
Summary: Clark’s illegal, and Lex makes him a green card proposal.
Reccer's Notes: Here with another Smallville rec! This time, it's Clark who, ostensibly, needs to get married because he has no social security number, no legit adoption papers. Lex is the mayor of Metropolis in this story, and Clark is a reporter at the Daily Planet. Lex knows the secret of Clark's/Superman's identity, and he doesn't want to be the bad guy who has to deport a beloved superhero. Solution: marriage!
What I love about this story is how absolutely befuddled Clark is by Lex's proposal and the actuality of the marriage. It's SO CLARK. Lenore touches on another of my favorite Clark traits, which is his loneliness and his inability to sustain a relationship because of his secret. I don't recall the story explicitly stating Clark's age, but I think he's in his late twenties, maybe almost thirty. Those added years give more emotional weight to the (of course) eventual romance and falling in love.
Lois and the Kents feature in the narrative, and it never fails to delight me when Lois makes coffee or Mr. Kent talks farming with Lex.

Dear Care and Feeding,
I’ve got a 14-year-old son and 9-year-old twin daughters. My son lives primarily with his mom, but has always spent plenty of time at my place, and the kids are all quite close. But there is a real problem with how he treats one of his sisters. The two of them share many traits and are quite similar in disposition, and when things are good, they have a very sweet relationship. They’ll go on walks together and chat and laugh the whole time. They also really enjoy play-fighting—e.g., hitting each other with foam swords. But at other times, my son will relentlessly pick at his sister, teasing her for things like not being as good at video games as he is, or questioning her abilities in other ways. It’s unkind, and although she sometimes claps back or does her best to ignore him, more often it sends her into a rage.
I’ve talked to him about it repeatedly (and yelled at him about it), and he has said he has trouble controlling himself. Maybe that sounds like a cop-out, but having observed it so many times, I believe him. It seems like an impulse-control thing, like the comments pop into his head and are out of his mouth before he can stop them. We have a good amount of neurodivergence in our family, and I strongly suspect that, like the sister in question, he’s got ADHD. I’ve wanted to get him assessed, but his mom—with whom I have a good relationship—is resistant, and he hasn’t had any issues in school yet that would offer more reason to push for it. I’ll tell him to knock it off and he’ll be chastened, but then 30 seconds later he’s picking on his sister again. What do you think I should be trying to do here? Yelling obviously isn’t the answer, and I can tell my son is feeling demoralized. I feel like this is about their similar personalities to some extent, because he doesn’t have the same issue with his other sister. But even if that’s the case, I want him to stop cutting his sister down, because she adores him and I’m pretty sure he actually adores her too.
—Bro, Chill
