Ever wondered what it would be like to have your own personal life coach? One that would not only help you discover your purpose, but also help you plan each day. This is why I created a state-of-the-art @claudeai based life coach. #claude #ai #agents github.com/gislio/MyPlan

For the past 4 years, I have been working on my first fiction novel - a crime thriller that happens in Iceland. To help me improve the book. I trained @claudeai with top books on writing and editing fiction, and got this amazingly good report on what to fix. #ai #claude

I asked @claudeai to research all the state-of-the-art methods of learning a new language. I then asked it to create a set of #AIagents that would help me learn any language at all. I would also love for you to try it out. Download it from github.com/gislio/claude-… #AI #Claude

Leadership Q: As the world fragments into insular camps, as energy systems prove more brittle than assumed, and as AI systems begin to evade the very oversight mechanisms we built to govern them, are you leading an institution that builds trust, or one that merely consumes it?

My five asks reflected in the @IFRC World Disasters Report on Truth, Trust and Humanitarian Action in the Age of Harmful Information. ifrc.org/document/world… 👇#WDR2026

As the world is grappling with multiple crises, achieving gender equality is more vital than ever. On this International Women’s Day, we pay tribute to the extraordinary women across the @IFRC network whose dedication and resilience inspire us every day. Along the journey, women from the IFRC network teams are always there, on the front lines, facing humanitarian challenges with unwavering commitment and compassion. As we celebrate their achievements, we also call on everyone to take action to dismantle gender barriers and amplify the voices of all women and girls. Let's stand together and work towards the IFRC’s ambition of promoting an inclusive and equitable world where diversity is championed and where everyone is treated with dignity and fairness. #IWD2026

Today, 204 million people live in areas controlled or contested by armed groups, 30 million more than in 2021. Life in these areas means uncertainty, fear, and struggling to access essential services, while humanitarian organizations face major obstacles to reach those most in need. Read our latest report to learn what this reality means for civilians, essential services, and humanitarian access: ms.spr.ly/6012QJSrm

In times of war, neutrality is not indifference. It is a deliberate way of working to be able to help without taking sides, allowing us to reach those who need it most.

The fissure erupting is between 700 and 1000m long, and the eruption is expected to be short-lived. There is a gas cloud extending from the eruption - the attached map shows where the concentration of SO2 is expected to be high over the next 6 hours.

Icelandic Civil Protection (@almannavarnir) has declared an emergency phase after an #eruption started near Litla Skogarfell, north of the town of #Grindavik. So far, the eruption is small and does not pose a threat to any infrastructure or people.

According to @Vedurstofan a magma intrusion has started near #Grindavik with the likelihood of an imminent #eruption being high. #Iceland #volcano
