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.

With endless TV airtime, buying a DVD of The Simpsons hardly feels like an essential purchase, especially with the 13th season being from 2001-2.

That said, there's lots to enjoy, with 22 episodes of typically short and sharp, surreal and smart entrainment. Plotlines take their usual wiggles and unlikely adventures. There's geriatric love afoot for both Mr Burns and Grandpa Simpson, while the traditional Hallowe'en special takes potshots at/pays homage to Harry Potter and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Another Odyssey gets the treatment, while Lisa gets to take on Joan of Arc and Bart comes over all Shakespearian as the Danish Prince in a classic.
