Sorry, there's something blinking in the top-left corner, annoying enough that I won't finish reading the post.

I'm going to finish reading, but it really is a UX nightmare. Terribly distracting and annoying :(
Since I don't want to be one of those HN posters that's negative about everything, I hope jfornear will take this as constructive criticism that removing the animation (or making it something less jarring) would improve readability :)

Its worse, there are two 'blinking' elements on this page. It looks like a myspace profile from back when <blink> was still a thing.

It's an animated GIF. Press the escape key and it will stop. edit: I guess this only works in FF?

It's been a requested feature in WebKit forever, and afaict nobody is really opposed to it, but nobody has stepped up to code it either.
