LGBT rights in Poland, police brutality
Please fucking boost this as far as possible. Please, PLEASE.
A Polish trans activist named Margot was arrested. Her "crime" is minor destruction of property (she cut up a tarp on a truck covered with vicious anti-LGBT propaganda).
Her pre-emptive arrest for two months was authorized by a court, despite the fact that such arrest, by Polish law, are meant to be used for people who are a flight risk or an immediate danger to others.
But wait, there's more.

Take the graph of y = 1/x from 1 to infinity. Rotate it about the x-axis.
The result has infinite surface area and finite volume; that is, you can fill it, but you can't paint it.
A Planck length is a unit of length which can be derived from Planck's constant. It is the smallest length which is possible in our Universe.
And it's unimaginably tiny. A hundredth of a billionth of a billionth of the size of a proton. But this is significant. Anything smaller than a Planck length cannot exist. It would not make physical sense.
Planck lengths are basically Universe pixels.
