Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Google have temporarily redesigned their logo to incorporate elements of work by the artist Rene Magritte.
Today would have been the 110th birthday of the Belgium surrealist and to celebrate, Google have merged the iconic works The Son of the Man and Golkonga, to create a suitably dreamlike logo of their own.
While Google regularly change their masthead, most redesigns are to commemorate public events and holidays.
Rene Magritte was born in Lessines, western Belgium on November 21 1898, and is well-known for his humorous, thought-provoking paintings - many of which incorporated aspects of pop culture long before Andy Warhol.
Arguably his most important work is The Treachery of Images, a simple advertisement-style painting of a pipe. Beneath the object are the words Ceci n'est pas une pipe (This is not a pipe) – a paradox which spawned hundreds of imitators.
