The title is click bait. It’s not homophobia it’s homophobic slurs that are being made a crime.

UK doctor who worked at Shifa confirms Gaza hospital used for ‘non-medical purposes’
Reply in thread
Separately, a journalist from Italy who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity recounted that in 2009, right after Israel’s Operation Cast Lead against Hamas, he visited Gaza’s hospitals looking to interview wounded members of Fatah — the rival Palestinian faction that Hamas violently ousted from the coastal enclave in 2007.
“Eventually, I realized that they were all at home — Fatah members were too afraid to stay in the hospital, even if they were wounded,” the journalist said.
“Shifa is a very large compound. I got lost inside it, and at some point I ended up on an underground floor, and I found myself in front of two armed Hamas men in military attire, who told me to get out.”

After shunning scientist, University of Pennsylvania celebrates her Nobel Prize — School that once demoted Katalin Karikó and cut her pay has made millions of dollars from patenting her work
Reply in thread
she left after they gave her an ultimatum of having to take a pay cut if she wanted to continue. i am not sure if she is a founder but she worked at BioNTech , so it's not owned by the university. I don't think it's illegal but this is the time she should be publicizing the story to shame them and divert talent to competing universities.

VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it
And you even have some vr fans just blindly claiming that all games should use gliding for movement and that having the option to teleport ruins the game even if they don’t use it. even though gliding (they call it natural locomotion) makes people sick because it’s obviously unnatural. They claim there is no need for movement systems that don’t induce motion sickness because it’s a matter of getting used to “natural locomotion” an anyone who doesn’t get better is because they are lying🙄.
