Tweets not loading, with an error, except after several tries, is a commonly-reported problem. I've seen it for years, across multiple browsers & devices, happens all the time.

It might go away if you log in. I wouldn't know.

Happens to me _every single time_ on Firefox, logged out. I have to press the "Try Again" button 3-10 times before it actually loads.
Funnily enough their API endpoints report the actual error that happened in plain English. Their frontend never even tries to show the error.

It's unbelievable incompetence coupled with unbelievable not-giving-a-damn attitude.

In fairness sounds like a backend problem. But I have the same experience and it's annoying
