what i'm discovering about twitter now is there are a bunch of internal "community notes" sock puppet accounts with auto-generated names that they use to game the fact checking.
it's kind of like free speech but with a sophisticated, multi-layered suppression and shadow banning and fact checking system built in so that yea you can say mostly whatever you want, but they'll swiftly send it into a black hole to whatever extent they deem necessary
the community notes might also be AI, not entirely sure. something definitely not right under the hood over there
Renowned experts at the World Council for Health have issued a warning that billions of people who received Covid mRNA "vaccines" are now facing a "ticking time bomb" of looming deaths, disease, and injuries.
This isn’t responsible environmentalism — it’s bureaucratic posing with a green label to give Sacramento a win for its climate PR campaign. And it’s insulting to people impacted by real disasters. California specializes in virtuous messaging and theatrical regulation. thefederalist.com/2025/06/02/c…

Singapore’s compliance landscape is strict but manageable with the right approach. By treating ACRA and IRAS obligations as a unified process, you can minimize risks and streamline filings.
In Singapore, businesses must navigate the regulations of ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) and IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore). ACRA oversees corporate governance and filings, while IRAS manages tax obligations. Though distinct, their processes are interconnected — what you file with ACRA directly affects your IRAS submissions.
Aligning these obligations is critical for seamless compliance and avoiding penalties.
Breaking Down ACRA and IRAS Roles
Here’s what each authority covers:
ACRA requires:
Annual Returns
Updates to company details (directors, shareholders, share capital)
Financial statements, often in XBRL format
IRAS handles:
Corporate income tax filings (Form C or C-S)
Estimated Chargeable Income (ECI)
Goods and Services Tax (GST), if applicable
These tasks may seem separate, but IRAS cross-references ACRA filings to validate tax submissions. Inconsistencies, such as mismatched financials, can trigger audits, fines, or delays. Consistency is key.
The Compliance Workflow
After your financial year ends, here’s the process:
Prepare financial statements: These form the foundation for both ACRA and IRAS filings.
File ECI with IRAS: Due within three months of your financial year-end.
Submit Annual Return to ACRA: Due within seven months of your financial year-end.
File Form C or C-S with IRAS: Due by 30 November for a financial year ending 31 December.
Your financial data — revenue, expenses, profits — must align across all submissions. Errors or delays in ACRA filings can disrupt IRAS processing, leading to compliance issues.
Common Compliance Pitfalls
Many businesses, especially smaller ones, face challenges due to the complexity of compliance. Common errors include:
Missing ECI deadlines: Failing to file within three months can lead to penalties or lost tax instalment options.
Late or inaccurate ACRA filings: Incorrect Annual Returns can trigger fines and affect IRAS assessments.
Inconsistent financials: Mismatched figures between ACRA and IRAS can prompt audits.
Misunderstanding exemptions: Exempt or dormant companies still have filing obligations, even without audits.
Proactive planning helps avoid these mistakes.
How Company Secretarial Services Make a Difference
This is where company secretarial services come in. A corporate secretary ensures your ACRA filings are accurate, timely, and aligned with IRAS requirements. Their responsibilities include:
Jan–Mar: Finalize financials and file ECI by 31 March.
Apr–Jun: Prepare audited or unaudited financial statements.
Jul: Submit Annual Return to ACRA by 31 July.
Aug–Nov: File Form C or C-S with IRAS by 30 November.
Each step is interconnected, so staying on schedule is essential.
Final Thoughts
Singapore’s compliance landscape is strict but manageable with the right approach. By treating ACRA and IRAS obligations as a unified process, you can minimize risks and streamline filings. Corporate secretarial services like those from Entrust ensure accuracy and consistency, allowing you to focus on your business.
Corporate secretarial services are an integral part of business management and compliance, particularly in the context of corporate secretarial services in Singapore.

It's mini ITX, with 3 potential finishes: a jade green, a silver, and a matte black, which is the one they sent me.
It comes with Intel 13th or 14th gen CPUs, up to an i9 14900, it can accommodate 2 M.2 SSDs and 2 SATA 3 drives, up to 24 terabytes in total. It can come with or without dedicated graphics, which can go up to a Radeon RX 7700XT, or an Nvidia RTX 4070. It can also get up to 96 gigs of DDR5 RAM, and it obviously has wifi and bluetooth, and it comes with Linux preinstalled, Tuxedo OS being the default.
The model Tuxedo sent me has an i7 13700, 1TB of PCIe 3 SSD, 32 gigs of RAM, and the RX 7700XT with 12 gigs of VRAM.

Bazzite
So, Bazzite is a weird one: it's based on Fedora Atomic, so it's an "immutable" distro, and it's built using universal blue, which is a build system that lets you create tailored distro images for plenty of purposes.
I ran all the games at the native resolution of my monitor, so 3440x1440. Horizon is run using the latest version of Proton from Valve, the rest are native Linux games. Everything was ran at their max settings, at the native resolution, without any resolution scaling. Everything ran under Wayland, with all the latest updates applied.
So, For Horizon Zero Dawn, running the benchmark gave me an average of 80 FPS at these maxed out settings. In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 105 FPS on average in the benchmark, and for Total War Warhammer 3 on the battle benchmark, it reached 56.4 FPS and 52.5 FPS on the campaign benchmark.
Nobara
Next is Nobara. This isn't an immutable distribution, it's Fedora, plus a lot of kernel patches, addons, drivers and tools focused specifically on gaming and on improving performance
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 106 FPS on average in the benchmark. In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 57 FPS on average, and 54.7 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark. In Horizon Zero Dawn, Nobara got 80 FPS on average.
HoloISO
I also gave a shot to HoloISO, in its new immutable form, but it never managed to give me a bootable system, no matter how hard I tried.
Chimera OS
Chimera OS is an arch based distribution, it's an atomic distro, so immutable, and includes a bunch of emulation tools as well as optimizations for gaming. It defaults to GNOME as its desktop, compared to KDE for the other distros I tested.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I got 102 FPS on average in the benchmark, similar to other distros I tested. In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, I got 55.3 FPS on average, and 51.1 FPS on average for the campaign benchmark. In Horizon Zero Dawn, Chimera OS got 73 FPS on average, strangely lower than other distributions.
Tuxedo OS
Just for fun, I decided to also run all of these games on the preinstalled Tuxedo OS, to see if these gaming distros offer improved performance compared to a "normal" system. Here are the results.
In Horizon Zero Dawn, at the max resolution and max settings, with any upscaling, The Atlas S running Tuxedo OS got 81 FPS on average.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, at the max settings and resolution, Ubuntu 24.04 reached 106 FPS on average.
In Total War Warhammer 3's battle benchmark, at the max settings and resolution, I got 57 FPS on average, and in the campaign benchmark, it reached 54.9 FPS

Lyrics: Fragile seams I opened up too quick and all my dreams Were walking out, I'd slowly lost my fire With every single man a river cried I had no sensation, completely numb, left with no satisfaction I thought no one could ever get me high again I swear, I was not looking
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, waited so long I thought the real thing was a fake I thought it was a tool to break me down You proved me wrong again
[Chorus]If love were liquid it would drown me In a placeless place would find me In a heart shape come around me And then melt me slowly down If love were human it would know me In a lost space come and show me Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down Like chocolate
[Verse 2] Tastes so good My heart's been mended, who'd have thought it would? An empty bet and still I won the cash A man who I love and who loves me back
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, waited so long For love to heal me so I'd feel it Thought it wasn't breathing, then you came You proved me wrong again
[Chorus]If love were liquid it would drown me In a placeless place would find me In a heart shape come around me And then melt me slowly down If love were human it would know me In a lost space come and show me Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down Like chocolate If love were liquid it would drown me In a placeless place would find me In a heart shape come around me And then melt me slowly down If love were human it would know me In a lost space come and show me (show me) Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down Like chocolate
Come here, zoom in, catch the smile There's no doubt it's from you And I'm addicted to it now Just one look, boy, to melt me down Just one heart here to save me now Your candy kisses are sweet, I know Hold me tight, baby, don't let go Just one look, boy, to melt me down Just one heart here to save me now Your candy kisses are sweet, I know Hold me tight, baby, don't let go (like chocolate) Just one look, boy, to melt me down Just one heart here to save me now Your candy kisses are sweet, I know Hold me tight, baby, don't let go Just one look, boy, to melt me down Just one heart here to save me now Your candy kisses are sweet, I know Hold me tight, baby, don't let go
If love were liquid it would drown me In a placeless place would find me In a heart shape come around me And then melt me slowly down If love were human it would know me In a lost space come and show me Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down If love were liquid it would drown me In a placeless place would find me In a heart shape come around me And then melt me slowly down If love were human it would know me In a lost space come and show me Hold me and control me and then melt me slowly down Like chocolate

Lyrics: I know your eyes in the morning sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love?
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down, when they all should let us be We belong to you and me
I believe in you You know the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you When you know down inside that I really do And it's me you need to show How deep is your love?
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down when they all should let us be We belong to you and me
Na na na na na Na na na na, na na na na na Na na na, na na na na na na na Na na na, na na na na
And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave And it's me you need to show How deep is your love
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down, when they all should let us be We belong to you and me
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down, when they all should let us be We belong to you and me Na na na, na na
How deep is your love? How deep is your love? I really mean to learn 'Cause we're living in a world of fools Breaking us down, when they all should let us be We belong to you...
Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" is a soulful and haunting track that delves into themes of heartbreak and despair. With her distinctive voice and poignant lyrics, Winehouse captures the raw emotions of loss and longing, making this song a powerful reflection of her artistry.
Lyrics: He left no time to regret Kept his dick wet With his same old safe bet Me and my head high And my tears dry Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew So far removed From all that we went through And I tread a troubled track My odds are stacked I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred times You go back to her And I go back to I go back to us
I love you much It's not enough You love blow and I love puff And life is like a pipe And I'm a tiny penny Rollin' up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred times You go back to her And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred times You go back to her And I go back to
Black, black Black, black Black, black Black I go back to I go back to
We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred times You go back to her And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words I died a hundred times You go back to her And I go back to black
