The Contribution of BTS to the South Korean Economy - Profolus The impact of BTS transcends beyond K-pop. The K-pop sensation is a brand that is worth billions of dollars.

BTS is officially back!

Did you know? Beyond their music and stardom, one of the most significant impacts of BTS is their specific contribution to the economy of South Korea.

My purple heart is happy 💜💜💜

Why Did Trump Appoint Erika Kirk to the U.S. Air Force Academy Advisory Board? — Konsyse Erika Kirk is now a member of a high-level advisory panel for the military training facility in Colorado Springs.

What even is this?!?!!!

💯💯💯

It's the weekend!

-12°C here in NJ. I miss Southeast Asia weather!!!

Starting my day with Olivia Dean 🎶

Type 5 Diabetes is Officially Recognized by the International Diabetes Federation - Profolus Experts have classified a fifth form of diabetes linked to early-life developmental problems.

While type 5 diabetes is more common in resource-poor countries, I believe this is undiagnosed in the United States. Cases of clinical malnutrition involving U.S. children doubled between 2002 and 2011, and increased further in 2019.

I know someone who had meningitis in his 20s. He was in hospital for far too long that he wasted. He survived but the infection left him blind. The disease might be rare but the outcome of being hit with one is scary.

Spotify Stopped Running ICE Recruitment Ads in December 2025 — Konsyse The polarizing partnership of Spotify with the Department of Homeland Security has come to an end.

Yey! But...There's no telling that Spotify will run those ads again! Glad I switched to Apple Music.

Grok Produces Sexualized Deepfakes of Real Women and Children - Profolus A permissive setting in Grok, the generative AI tool from Elon musk, has led to the mass creation of non-consensual sexual images.

Disgusting!!!

U.S. HHS and CDC Drastically Overhauled Childhood Vaccine Schedules — Konsyse The U.S. federal government has reduced the number of vaccines recommended for all children from 17 down to 11.

I’m all for choice, but doing this while outbreaks are popping up everywhere just adds another layer of stress for parents.

And, removing shots for bacterial meningitis? I know someone who had meningitis in his 20s. He was in hospital for 60 days. He recovered but it left him blind. Too young!

How the Global Fish Trade Spreads Forever Chemicals - Profolus Forever chemicals or PFAS are traveling the world through the global seafood trade.

Even if you're buying fish from "clean" waters or in places with strong environmental and food safety regulations, there's a good chance it’s actually imported and loaded with toxins that never break down.

Olivia Dean 🤍

Absolutely! I do not want to be using my phone's flashlight just to grab my frozen grapes

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

I have a new video for this pedophile president.
Those videos and pictures are very clear evidences.
I wonder why he hasn't been caught and thrown in jail yet.
And by the way, this is how Israel is controlling those puppet and traitorous presidents.

Pros and Cons of Air Fryer: A Guide — Konsyse A concise quick to the advantages and disadvantages or pros and cons of air fryer and cooking food via air-frying.

Tried roasting a chicken in one, but it was too much labor. I prefer using our mini oven with rotisserie. Also, has anyone of you still uses those turbo broilers from the 80s and 90s?

Purr-Print: Why Purrs Reveal More About Cats Than Meows - Profolus Scientists discovered that the purrs of cats are far more unique than their meows.

"Domestic cats have decoupled their identities from their meows, probably because of domestication, while their purrs remain unique to each of them."

US aggression on the 3rd day of the New Year.

This will never be not funny. Haha!

Insights From Science: Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail? - Profolus New Year's resolutions are notoriously hard to keep. Part of creating and pursuing one is understanding why resolutions often fail.

Second day of 2026 and I already failed 😂 My New Year's resolution was to quit nagging my husband for leaving his worn clothes in the bathroom.

Where Does Fentanyl in the U.S. Come From? - Profolus Illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs has become the dominant substances in the third wave of the opioid overdose epidemic in the U.S.

A sizeable portion of fentanyl coming in the U.S. is transported by desperate Americans in need of extra money. I always believe that drug use and addiction are symptoms of socioeconomic issues.

China Has Built A Prototype EUV Lithography Machine - Profolus China has a working EUV lithography machine prototype.

I'm not the biggest fan of China just because of its incessant bullying of SEA countries, but this is impressive! 3 to 5 years from now, China will be 80-90 percent independent from the West with regard to chipmaking.

Dr. Beata Halassy: How She Used Viruses to Cure Her Breast Cancer — Konsyse Croatian virologist and immunologist Dr. Beata Halassy used lab grown viruses to cure her recurring breast cancer.

One of my favorite self-treatment stories. P.S. Do not do this. Dr. Halassy has relevant qualifications.

Experts Weigh if Calling COVID-19 an Airborne AIDS is Reasonable - Profolus Experts revisit the controversial idea of COVID-19 as an airborne immunodeficiency threat and prompt debates over biology, public health, and language.

Controversial, but it makes sense, considering post-COVID immune disruption is REAL.

U.S. EPA Removes Fossil Fuels As Cause of Climate Change — Konsyse A revised Environmental Protection Agency webpage now omits fossil fuels as the driver of global warming.

The audacity of these idiots in science-related agencies to set aside decades of science just to appease that rotten orange man.

2025 Poll: Many U.S. Six-Figure Earners Are Also In Survival Mode — Konsyse The six-figure myth is fading fast. Survey results show that high income alone cannot counteract mounting living costs.

To be honest, a family of five can stretch a $100,000 annual household income, but this leaves little to no room for other things. You wanna enroll your kid in a music lesson? Support your other child's hobbies? Or travel in another state for a family vacation? Forget it.

Cat Whiskers Inspired A Breakthrough Pressure Sensor - Profolus A Japanese team developed biomimetic sensors made from hemp fiber and modeled after cat whiskers.

Biomimicry meets materials science. Japanese engineers transformed the mechanics of cat whiskers into scalable, high-performance, and low-cost pressure sensors. #caturday
