This is to fix news feed not loaded when navigated from a different page. pjax page navigation goes through this code path

investigated #202
The root cause is flaky api.allorigins.win, which is required for CORS because we are reading Tumblr posts from RSS feed
Below image shows the real cause of "Unable to load news feed. Network or CORS error" - api.allorigins.win returns 500+ HTTP status code. The solution here is to replace the RSS feed with API call https://openworm.tumblr.com/api/read/json?num=6 which doesn't require CORS so no dependency on api.allorigins.win
