After the October Revolution of November 1917, Semashko served as head of the Health Department of the Moscow City Council, and from July 1918 to 1930 he held the post of Commissar of Health of the RSFSR. Under Semashko's leadership, work was carried out to combat epidemics, the foundations of Soviet public health were laid, and a system of protection of motherhood and childhood and the health of children and adolescents and a network of medical research institutes were created.

In the Semashko model, medical services are provided by a hierarchy of state institutions under the supervision of Ministry of Healthcare and are financed from the national budget.[1] For the country's citizens, medical services are free and equal, with an emphasis on social hygiene and prevention of infectious diseases.[1] The model features publicly owned medical facilities, salaried health workers, large providers of primary healthcare and an exceptionally high degree of governmental administration, providing a universal healthcare.

Also he was apparently a big proponent of gay right in the USSR.

Pictured here is the new spacecamper, usually a business for converting vans and such into campers, for cargo bikes.

I'm kind of undecided on this. It feels very convenient, unless you have an ultralight tent the weight of your bike, and your supplies and the tent and the bags and whatnot seems sort of the same as this stuff.

What do we think about the concept? Cool idea to incorporate your bicycle into your sleeping arrangement for trips or dumb playtoy?

Monster Energy Drink can turned human, Sam Pilgrim, is back again with a cool bicycle idea with literally 0 possible downside

Honestly love the guy. I'll excuse him being a public nuisance in any and all cases on account of how much he is the pantheonic ideal of dudes rock.

He was a proud neoliberal and he said something along the lines of "lol wagie is just mad some of us come from wealthy families"

A general election recently took place in Australia. The Labour Party, which had a majority in the Lower House—44 seats out of 75—was defeated. It now has only 36 seats out of 75. The majority has passed to the Liberals, but this majority is a very unstable one, because 30 of the 36 seats in the Upper House are held by Labour.

What sort of peculiar capitalist country is this, in which the workers’ representatives, predominate in the Upper house and, till recently, did so in the Lower House as well, and yet the capitalist system is in no danger?

Not totally relevant while the blue tories still control the upper house, but you know

"He's doing okay... he and I hang out pretty frequently. He's got some mobility issues and unfortunately some aphasia."

"...But I'm over at his place every week doing readings about the Seven Years War and having fairly high level conversations with him about like the spread of global capitalism in the 18th century. Just not really in a way that is mic ready right now. We'll see... I mean we're working on it. We're making a little progress every week. I see a path, I just have no idea what the timetable for any of this could be, and I don't think he does either, so hopefully updates when we have it..."

He also said they're putting out a book based on the Spanish Civil War episode scripts edited into a nice looking book. Limited run, with proceeds going to support Matt, his recovery, and his family. Preorder available sometime next month.

There's a lyric chain in Angel's post that we're retooling for Biden, please help, I don't wanna be cringe and be one of two people doing the whole thing.

Every so often some synapse decides to zap my brain and I think about the "black folk ain't having no Bernie" tweet.

Was it a tweet? I can't remember anymore. But I still remember that line. Just at random. Apropos of nothing. Not even in a "hey remember that?" sorta way. Instead it just fires off and disappears almost as quickly as it appeared.

How about y'all?
