There’s a bit of a streetlight effect going on where up until recently “hick culture” was filtered through those that were successful at navigating urban institutions because that’s where media broadcasting lives. Only now could they go directly to consumers lol

Bakery, Wigton.
#UrbanGaze 📷 #photography
A grey-rendered old building on the corner of Wigton's High Street and King Street by the Market Place, with white-framed windows and pink livery on it, one sign reading 'Berry's Bakery' and others giving more details of what they sell inside. There are bollards in the road in front of it, most black with one yellow, and strings of decorative lights hanging across the roads criss-crossing each other and casting shadows down the building. Some scaffolding is just visible on the left and a streetlamp is intruding from the right, together in front of the top of a building with peeling white paint.

This pure, unfiltered ignorance by RFK Jr. is a textbook example of the streetlight effect or "drunkard's search".

The human drive to reduce everything to something simple & that can be understood at a glance is a kind of entropy. Unless consistently resisted, it will consume any useful metric.

Absolutely every little advance adds to the efficiency of our grids. This is a new and interesting one.
New streetlight coating reflects 95% light and lets 80% infrared heat escape
This technology could reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the United States by one million metric tons.

Metal thievery is plunging Long Beach streets into darkness. Residents are anxious for a fix.
There's been a surge in copper wire theft, and residents say it's sometimes taken months or years to get stripped streetlights fixed.

Good morning! One from my extremely unfinished Snow Queen WIP today. 😊
The train came creaking that morning into the station, which lay at one end of a wide cobbled lane called Njarfikgata. The lane ran straight-as-an-arrow, flanked on both sides by colorful buildings all blanketed in crusty layers of snow, their windows full of signs that offered tempting bargains to passers-by. In spite of the morning’s darkness, the city was wide awake. All up and down the lane, shades of people and vehicles were weaving past each other, haloed in the foggy glow of streetlamps. And at the far end opposite the train station, the street opened up into a roundabout where a statue of the goddess Freyja, riding in her cat-drawn chariot, stood on a high pedestal and watched the people going to-and-fro beneath her.

4. It's up to all of us, in this time of #biodiversityloss #climatechange & corporate governance to embrace the fact that #lightpollution is one thing we—as individuals and communities—can control.

So shield those streetlamps, choose warmer hued bulbs & #turnoffthelights! The #birds will thank you.
A diagram of different urban lighting scenarios set against a dark blue-black backdrop and starry night (represented in abstract illustrated form). First, at left, (1) Problematic urban lighting. A giant light orb casts out from a streetlamp, blinding and white, extending into much of the night sky. Next (2) A streetlamp represented with a temporal controller installed. The streetlamp stands dimmed and darkened. No stray light sheds into the night sky. Third (3) A downshielded and dimmed streetlamp. Here, the light, still a white hue, is directed to the ground and there is no upward or outward pollution. Fourth (4) A streetlamp that uses a warmed temperature bulb. Its light appears in an oranger-pinker hue. The diagram notes that the light temperature for this color must be <3000 Kelvin.

A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together. After a few minutes the policeman asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, no, and that he lost them in the park. The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, "this is where the light is".

At night on a wet, snowy street in central Berlin, a street musician stands centered beneath the illuminated TV Tower at Alexanderplatz. The performer wears a shiny silver jumpsuit, a helmet-like mask with two glowing turquoise round goggles and small antennae, and red sneakers. They play an electric guitar and a small keyboard mounted on a stand, with effect pedals and cables spread on the ground. Trams and cars pass on both sides, leaving bright light trails, while modern buildings and streetlights frame the scene under a dark, cloudy sky.
