Thanks for linking to a picture of testicles.

That particular blog author displays special content if the referrer is HN. It's embarrassingly juvenile for someone that must be in their 50s by now.
Having had that a few times, and recently relaxing Firefox's referer policy for some other site compatibility which had avoided it before, I came to this workaround with uBlock Origin:

    jwz.org##^responseheader(set-cookie)
    jwz.org##^responseheader(location)
Hopefully documenting it doesn't perpetuate the arms race.
Oh sorry, I did not know that was the guy who hates being linked to from HN. Copy the link manually to read it if you still care to learn what he wrote.
