jQuery("span.description"). // selects all spanners
    filter(":contains('140byt.es -- Click')"). // clicks them if they filter their contents for 140bytes.
    closest("li").hide() // Hides Li in the closet.

index.js

jQuery("span.description").filter(":contains('140byt.es -- Click')").closest("li").hide()

Couldn’t this be shortened into $("span.description:contains('140byt.es -- Click')").closest("li").hide()? ;)

Yeah cool, ... wait ... no. :contains('') is not a valid QSA selector and relies on Sizzle. Therefor its faster. You out of all JavaScripties should know best ;)

I could stick with the $ though ... and put unsafeWIndow. in front of it, while I am a it.

I wasn’t talking about speed – just trying to save bytes. Isn’t that what @140bytes is all about? :)

As long as it is below 140bytes I should be ok. If this was a valid entry anyways.

How about not using jQuery (relying on other libraries is not very 140byt.ish):

(function(i,l){i=document.getElementsByTagName('li');l=i.length;while(l--){i[l].style.display=/140byt\.es -- Click/.test(i[l].innerHTML)?'none':''}})()

GitHub uses jQuery, so I get it for free.

If this is limited to github using jQuery, you could use "$" instead of jQuery, too.

As long as it is below 140bytes I should be ok. If this was a valid entry anyways.

Golfing down @atk’s suggestion for the lulz:

(function(i,l){l=i.length;while(l--){i[l].style.display=/140byt\.es -- Click/.test(i[l].innerHTML)?'none':''}})(document.getElementsByTagName('li'))

You could even shorten the regex a little bit (although that would make it slightly less “robust”).
