When “The Muppet Show” debuted in 1976, it wasn’t a kids’ program. It was a sharp parody of variety TV — absurd, slapstick and packed with A-list guest stars.
The Muppets themselves had been guests on variety shows and A-list talk shows. Here, Johnny Carson interviews Jim Henson, Kermit and other Muppets on the ‘Tonight Show’ in 1975:

Kermit first appeared on local TV in 1955, before crossing into Sesame Street, late-night TV and even early Saturday Night Live.
‘Saturday Night Live’s’ first season included ‘Land of Gorch’ sketches that starred creatures Jim Henson made to entertain grown-ups ⬇️

Has anyone noticed that Google Books searches no longer work? No matching books even for topics such as "Cicero", "Shakespeare", "Florus of Lyons" or "Bible." Might this be the end of Google Books?
If you have saved a link in your notes, they still seem to work.
It's always a good time to download the entire PDF of books you need, but right now is an especially good time.

Hadn't got round to announcing this yet - new paper out! In 'Calculated Actions: How Game Code Makes Arguments About The Past' I discuss the ways that the programmatic parts of games encode ideas about human history and how it works, with a wide array of examples.
Hope the ideas/concepts are useful to people, thoughts welcome as always if you have a chance to read it :)
