Attending #Charlottesville Zoning Ordinance work session with City Council and Planning Commission Reserved #SeatsAvailable 
Height questions - under the new ordinance - the measurement is both feet and stories. If it is 5 stories and 100 feet, it is still 5 stories. There is some wiggle room in the heigh The goal of this double standard is to limit the number of short stories that can be "crammed" in
A secondary goal of the standard is to encourage a variety of floor heights and building heights.
Staff indicates Module 1 of Zoning Ordinance is on schedule for delivery to the public next week @keithsmith11163 @JerryMillerNow #Moustache
Staff believes a two phase approach on critical slopes - tweak now and then after the zoning rewrite do a comprehensive review to likely include stream buffer expansion

What else for a @CMSGov coding and payment geek to do on a Friday night except dig into the 2066 page #PFS proposed rule! @SEricksonACP @BobDohertyACP @RobertBlaser1 @signaturedoc @BetsyNicoletti
Have to start with a shout out to @RobertBlaser1 coding guru from @RPANephrology who has his own thread on the #PFS. It was great to connect with him in Chicago last month
I have to start with a side rant on the conversion factor though. The CF will go down $1.53 to $33.08–a 4.4% decrease! This reflects a statutory freeze on automatic increases to the PFS coupled with the expiration of the some $3b that was pumped into the fee schedule last year

For those blissfully unaware, #PatriotFront is a white supremacist group helmed by Thomas Rousseau. Patriot Front formed after rebranding from Vanguard America, the neo-nazi group with whom James Alex Fields of the #UnitetheRight car attack marched in #Charlottesville

Court is starting for the 21st say in the civil trial of the ‘Sines v. Kessler’ lawsuit filed against organizers of the Charlottesville neo-nazi rally. Judge Moon says the jury arrived at 8:30 AM and already began deliberating
Apparently on Friday jurors asked for a transcript of defendant Matt Parrott (co-leader of the neo-nazi Traditionalist Worker Party) - Moon says he will allow the jury to request particular portions of the transcript.
Court has adjourned until the hear from the jury - either with a note/question or if they’ve reached a verdict.

Court tweets from Day 10 can be seen here:

In order to see racial violence as about both race and masculinity, we must recognize that in systems of privilege that are not patriarchy, men tend not to recognize our complicity in those systems but women do. In addition “Gender” too often means women and trans victims 1/x.
When we focus on male perpetrators and that men are as gendered as women and NB people, things not usually associated with gender can be found to be gendered. There is a reason why antiracism work focuses on white women instead of white men. 2/x
This is also a reason why the study of toxic masculinity is now expanding to how men uphold racism, and why in 2021, suggestions to tackle racism include tackling male culture and TM. In England, after racially motivated attacks against black English players after their Euros 3/x
Jury selection began this week for the civil trial of the organizers of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in #Charlottesville. The rally ended with the murder of #HeatherHeyer and injuries to dozens of other activists, including #DeAndreHarris. gregpalast.com/hate-goes-on-t…
The attack on #DeAndreHarris in #Charlottesville was witnessed and filmed by our reporter, @ZDRoberts, which helped lead to several arrests & convictions.
"They came there for violence," says Roberts. "They knew what they were doing and they planned it.”

This week begins the trial of the Aug. 2017 Charlottesville Neo-Nazis. Defendants, incl. Richard Spencer & Chris Cantwell, are charged w/ "unlawful violation of civil rights" of victims of violence. The trial marks a major moment of legal reckoning. #charlottesville
But it’s not a federal govt. trial, but a civil lawsuit. Why? One murder & one assault conviction aside, no other major cases have been brought by authorities. So victims have turned to an alternative route: suing for civil damages. How can they do that? bit.ly/3py5F3C
Post-Civil War law designed to stop White Supremacy allows citizens to sue for “conspiracy to interfere with civil rights." Victims allege “an unlawful conspiracy…to deprive black, Jewish, nonwhite[s], and their white supporters, of … equal protection” bit.ly/3vEgpyB
For the last 2.5 years, my daughters and I have been rating breakfast places in #charlottesville #cville area. We rated 51 restaurants from 1 (worst) to 10 (best) on taste, presentation, menu, ambiance, & service. We also recorded cost-per-person.
Here's what we learned. 1/
Here's what we learned. 1/
Across 51 restaurants we spent $1,625.36 pre-tip, average cost of $9.91/person (sometimes other family members joined).
Cheapest per person: Duck Donuts $3.10, Sugar Shack $3.41, Bojangles $4.30.
Most expensive per person: The Ridley $27.08, Farm Bell Kitchen $17.81, Fig $17.44

Averaging all 5 ratings across all raters is one way to determine an overall rating. The grand average is 7.1 out of 10 w/ a range of 4.8 to 9.1. How strongly related are cost per person and overall rating?

Just 13% of the variation in quality is associated with cost.

As my hometown of #Charlottesville completes a weekend of overdue statue removals w/UVa’s Clark statue this morning, wanted to make this week’s #ScholarSunday thread a bit different: pieces & voices to help contextualize this moment! #twitterstorians

1/. Charlottesville's Jackson Monument was erected 100 years ago in 1921
The erection of the statue coincided with a growth of the KKK
Lynchings were commonplace
In 2017, protests against removing the statue sparked a deadly far-right rally
Today it’s finally being taken down

I attended as an individual. I am not affiliated with any PAC or organization. I obviously do not speak for or represent the #Palestinian people. There’s like 7 million of us at least, and like 2 million of #Palestinians stuffed in #Gaza alone.
To the #Palestinian Americans who boycotted this meeting after the #Biden Administration handed Israel $735 million dollars in weaponry following the merciless attacks on Palestinians locked in Gaza.
.@JoeBiden wants to make America "the leader for good in the world." It's going to be a tall order as divisive policies have shaken the nation's foundations. #CapitolRiot epitomized America's fragility at a time of extreme polarization. #CGTNFirstVoice #Inauguration2021
Despite being considered as leaving in disgrace, #DonaldTrump is still popular in his party. A post #CapitolRiot poll shows Trump still retains 87% of Republicans' approval with 43% support among voters overall post-second-#Impeachment. #Inauguration2021
Degradation of facts and truths has led to more than 400,000 #COVID19 deaths in #America. Conspiracies, promoted by extreme factions in society as well as elements in the Trump administration and sometimes even Trump himself, poisoned public opinion. #Inauguration2021
