Restoring DarknessDarkness News Roundtable with Scott WachterIn this episode of Restoring Darkness, Michael Colligan, Mark Baker, and Scott Wachter unpack the hidden dangers of light pollution, from LED-induced migraines to its role in societal chaos. They expose how the lighting industry’s shift from bulbs to LEDs dodged accountability, while personal responsibility narratives shield systemic failures. With the NHTSA banning flashing LED vehicle lights and lawsuits looming, the trio challenges the myth that brighter nights mean safer streets, revealing a world where light might just be the spark for unrest—and a call for industry reckoning grows louder.Key Takeaways2025-04-1154 minIs That Some Kind of Japanimation ThingLore and Such - Trigun Stampede Episode 7-9In this episode: - Betrayal! - Flashbacks Inside Dream Sequences - Chats with BugsSponsor: Japan Snack Crateor back us on Ko-Fi Hosted on Acast.
