Interestingly the images on this site did not load until I disabled my adblocker...
In the uBlock Origin settings the second tab ('Filter lists') contains a list of filter files, some of which are enabled by default and some of which aren't. I checked the boxes to enable some additional filter lists - everything in the 'Built-in' category except Experimental, and everything in the 'Annoyances' category.
It's been a while since I enabled these so I don't remember what exactly all of them do, but I rarely see a cookie banner or a modal popup subscribe dialog, I think due to these extra filters. These extra filters also include social blocking ones, which delete like/share buttons such as those from Facebook and Twitter (these buttons are useless to me). I think one of the rules in these extra filter lists is matching on your images, which are on the path '/assets/images/tmw-twitter-xxx.png.' The uBO logger shows the rule being matched as '/images/twitter-' and that it is present in Fanboy's Annoyances and Social Blocking lists.
Of course there's nothing wrong with the site, the images here are just a casualty of a blocking rule. But it was an interesting 'bug' to find.
