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.Texan model/designer Erin Wasson discusses her clothing range on the YouTube channel of New York magazine 'Nylon'. Wasson says, "The people with the best style for me are the people who are the poorest. Like when I go down to Venice Beach and I see the homeless, I'm like, oh my God, they're pulling out crazy looks, they like, pull shit out of garbage cans." Awesome.
Cut The Chaser?
British distributors of 'The Chaser', the "moody Asian action thriller", have performed a feat of self-defeating publicity. Posters say "Soon to be remade by the team that brought you 'The Departed'." Is this meant to make us watch 'The Chaser', or wait until the rubbish Hollywood remake emerges? (see the poster here)
Biscuit beast
YouTube's latest animal cracker is a cookie-eating hamster, who consumes five biscuits in two minutes. Hamsters require a tablespoon of food per day, so letting him gorge on baked goods might be irresponsible. By the time he starts stuffing down biscuit five, it's hell.
It's the gPhone!
It's no surprise that leaked pictures of Google's G1, the search engine's answer to the iPhone, have surfaced online (see the pictures here) . Due to be formally announced today in New York with T-Mobile, the handset, dubbed the gPhone, looks set to feature all of the jiggery-pokery of Apple's alternative, including GPS and a touchscreen, but with a smarter operating system (Android) and a qwerty keyboard hidden under the screen. In the shops by Christmas for around £100.
