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.

As Rick and Morty fans await the third season, Adult Swim has released numerous teasers, many of which spoof other properties.

The team behind the cartoon series have now teamed up with Fox to create a sponsored Alien: Covenant video, helping promote the newly released film.

Midway through the clip, a face-hugger from the Alien franchise attacks Rick, attempting to implant baby aliens into the grandfather. Watch below.

Luckily, thanks to Rick’s addictions, the creature dies instantly, poisoned by the high levels of drugs and alcohol within Rick’s blood.

Earlier this month, Adult Swim released a video featuring show creator and voice actor Justin Roiland getting drunk for an episode in which Rick becomes particularly inebriated. Watch here.

Meanwhile, a packet of McDonald's Szechuan sauce recently sold for $15,000 after a Rick and Morty episode mentioned the fabled condiment.

For those looking for their next Rick and Morty fix, the VR game has just been released, featuring Roiland’s hilarious voice-work.
