I still can't figure out how to pull videos out of Tweets but this is the best thing ever

There is an add-on extension/for Chrome and/or Firefox called "Flash Video Downloader".  Works on just about everything I've encountered, including this video (just tested it).

I want this one:


"What the !!! I wanted Diamonds"

though I can't decide if this text is better, though mug looks strange.


"Diamonds! How many times did I tell him...diamonds!"

What covenant did he create with the residents of Jericho?

Probably something like 'submit to the invaders or I will destroy you'. :P God says something similar to the Judeans about how they should submit to Assyria.

Of course that part of the narrative seems to predate the ideology of the universal God. As I said that evolves as the Old Testament goes on.

Some podcast recs? I mined out Mike Duncan completely already, and I'm looking for stuff of that ilk - or any other podcast that Languish believes is great.

David Crowther. https://thehistoryofengland.co.uk/

Robin Pierson: https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/

Both of them were inspired by Mike so they both start out like him but then quickly develop their own styles.
