$("a.byline[href='https://boingboing.net/author/petersheridan']").parent().parent().hide()
$("a.byline[href='https://boingboing.net/author/boingboingstore']").parent().parent().hide()

$("a.byline[href='https://boingboing.net/author/sponsoredpost']").parent().parent().hide()

Edit: I figured it out. For anyone interested, it's like this:
$("a[href='http://boingboing.net/author/advertisement']").parent().parent().hide()
or if you want to skip specific stories based on their title:
$("div h1 a:contains('Trump')").parent().parent().hide()

Hi,
Nice work.
I use typically browse via boingboing.net/blog to get around some of the formatting I dislike, and I can't get this script to work there--I'm still seeing stuff from author/boingboing (which usually is Store stuff). Any idea how to eliminate them by modifying your script?
Thanks!

Great suggestion, I didn't know about /blog. I've added the filters for that page as well (though in a slightly different way than you suggest, just to be more targeted)
