Well, they have extended through tomorrow. Still messed up as of now, though. Good luck getting it back online soon, @theAGU geeks.
Frustrating enough that it actually drove me today back to The Little Blue Bird currently known by another name.

AGU website & abstract portal seems to be having issues today. Anybody else having same?

Hi friends. I haven’t gone on this cesspool in quite a while.
In other Elon Musk news, his latest rocket just blew up. SpaceX called it a “rapid, unscheduled disassembly”.
That’s some next-level bs. To call that a euphemism doesn’t even come close.

The proposed Biden budget. Congress will say no, but stand strong, Mr. President, especially on @NSF and @epa!

My congressman is @RepBillFoster the only PhD scientist currently serving and active member of @housescience committee. He will be receiving materials from me and I will request a meeting to discuss the future of #scientificoceandrilling.

I'd take any opportunity to highlight polar marine scientist Amy Leventer. #InternationalWomensDay is a great excuse today. Thanks Amy for all you've done for so many of us. #diatoms

Here's Captain Jake watching #auroraborealis on @TheJR in the Norwegian Sea #exp396. So sad that the coming #IODP expeditions will be the last.
I sailed on ODP 124, ODP 151, IODP 279 and IODP 396. My students have joined a bunch through the years.

We fought hard, but our beloved JR will be sailing off into the sunset.

As the only PhD physicist in Congress, I was proud to hear @POTUS echo what I've always advocated for: Congress must lead with facts — and that starts with robust funding for scientific research.

#KevinMcCarthy, going for Round 7, can't accept reality. Dude, get it through your thick skull. With no arms or legs left, you're done.

Hey, @Ichnologist, I found this slab in @NIUlive paleo collection. No idea how/when it came. Simply labeled "animal tracks, Connecticut, Triassic", with an ink number on the back. I think it must be baby dinos! Potentially from James Deane's original collection?
Your thoughts?
