Hello W-orld! So nice to join @wsocial.eu and to follow all the news and good vibes on this platform! Have been holding off on posting until I had something worthwhile to share. 😄 Listened to this great interview of Yuval Noah Harari & thought what he had to say on social media was very relevant 👇
One year ago I sat in the control room of Sweden’s first nuclear reactor, deep beneath KTH in Stockholm. This morning I stood in front of a fusion reactor at the same university. #Novatron Different technology. Different era. The same human drive to explore what’s possible #MakeScienceGreatAgain
We’re only days away from the first ball being bowled at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. This afternoon, Waterloo Bridge was transformed into a cricket pitch to celebrate. It’s another great summer for women’s sport in London as we host the semi-finals at The Oval and the final at Lord’s. 🏆
We’re planning a major DLR extension to Thamesmead, and we need your input. With new government backing, this proposed route could transform travel in an underserved area, unlocking thousands of new jobs and homes. Londoners: shape the final plans now. ⬇️

Die Ausweitung der israelischen Offensive im Libanon besorgniserregend. Die Ankündigung von Angriffen auf Beirut verurteilen wir scharf. Das ist ein massiver Bruch des Waffenstillstands und eine weitere Eskalation.

#Monako Glass launched yesterday: smart glasses running Claude Code, “the first wearable Linux computer”. Easy to imagine working. Easy to imagine joining the Humane Pin graveyard. Privacy, battery, cameras - unanswered. Interested, not pre-ordering. youtu.be/E2LFzun60RE www.monako.ai
2026 🌎 What a Time! The oil energy shock results in higher costs for transport, workers and thus goods. The financial and economical markets dominated by global trade and oil suffers. Consumer will pay the price. #FinancialTimes #Renewableenergy 🌞 is the answer. 🙏🕊 #Peace for the Middle East!
For every dollar the world invests in fossil fuels today, it invests nearly two in clean energy. Despite record political backlash, the money keeps moving in one direction, and it is not the direction the headlines suggest. www.forbes.com/sites/we-don...

Full solidarity and support to Romania following the drone explosion in the port of Constanta this morning. This is the third significant security incident in Romania in recent weeks. These incidents are a direct consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

London is already the tech capital of Europe. Now we’re securing our future as a global leader in AI. At London Tech Week, I outlined the next steps to ensure our city’s businesses have the tools, skills, and support to lead the world in innovation - backed by a £12m support package.
Today We Don't Have Time investor network #MoveTheMoney visited the Novatron Fusion Plasma Platform at KTH in Stockholm. Fusion energy is progressing faster than many people realize. The coming decade could bring some surprising breakthroughs. #fusionpower

Explore the dataReal people.
Privacy first.
You can be verified as a human anonymously, or choose to share your real name. Your identity is yours. Always.
You identify yourself through W Identity, a separate app that scans your passport or national identity card and verifies you directly on your own device. You stay in control of what you share with other apps and services. Your ID data is stored only on your device unless you choose to share specific parts of it.
W gives you two options: appear with your full name or verified as a human anonymously. In both cases, you verify through W Identity, so W can confirm that you are a real, unique person. If you choose to stay anonymous, your full identity stays private, while verified attributes such as age verification and nationality help build trust and reduce fake accounts.
Access to your W Social account is controlled by a secure list of approved devices. If you lose one of these devices, it can be disconnected from your W Social account. Disconnecting a device will prevent it from accessing your account. You can then re-verify on a new device.
W is built on the AT-Protocol, an open standard for global social networking.
