Is there something wrong with the pictures in the second half of the article? It seems like they are taking forever to load (about 30 seconds each), one at a time. I’m on mobile (iOS).

I thought it might be a case of accidental huge image files (well I haven't checked the network tab) but it seems to be normal sized images loading at ~5 kB/s for me.

i.e. server is probably overloaded due to this story being on the front page.
