Here's proof (as a song, introducing this AMA)
Hey, I'm Oli, I mostly make novelty songs about the climate crisis, which you can find herehttps://olifro.st/.
You’ll also find my past projects, which have featured everywhere from UK Parliament to Britain’s Got Talent, BBC to Fox News, in art shows, and on bins.
Ask me anything! Have you always wondered what it's like to play the recorder for Simon Cowell? Now's your chance…
If you wanted to see what I'm doing next, it’d be great if you subscribed to my YouTube – I’ve got the smallest audience there, but the work looks better. Or follow me anywhere else.

I’m Tim. I write a blog called Wait But Why, where I write/illustrate long posts about a lot of things—the future, relationships, aliens, whatever. In 2016 I turned my attention to a new topic: why my society sucked. Tribalism was flaring up, mass shaming was back into fashion, politicians were increasingly clown-like, public discourse was a battle of one-dimensional narratives. So I decided to write a post about it, which then became a post series, which then became a book called What’s Our Problem? Ask me about the book or anything else!
To know when I publish something new, sign up for the email list.
When I’m procrastinating, I post stuff on Twitter and Instagram.

Our story “American Icon” is one of nine stories that take an in-depth look at the AR-15’s rise to dominance in the U.S. gun industry, how the gun’s bullets are particularly devastating to the human body, and how it has divided a nation and more. Ask us anything.
The AR-15 thrives in times of tension and tragedy. Our story explains how it came to dominate the marketplace – and loom so large in the American psyche: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/2023/ar-15-america-gun-culture-politics/?utm_campaign
