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.Domino's is trying to cash-in on pizza's continuing revival and general emojification by allowing customers to order simply by tweeting pizza emoji.
It announced a tweet-to-order system for US customers on Twitter yesterday, which involves people setting up an Easy Order account where you register your Twitter handle and topping preferences and then tweet 44 pizza emoji in a pizza formation to order.
Domino's will then DM you to confirm the order and check you weren't just doing one of those 'OMG PIZZA IS LFE' type tweets.
"It’s the epitome of convenience," said Patrick Doyle, CEO at Domino’s, adding: "We’ve got this down to a five-second exchange."
The stage is now set for an assassin to corner the market for ordering hits by gun emoji (in fairness, China did have to recently ban an app that let you hire a mercenary to carry out beatings).
