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.In its continuing mission to make Kentucky fried everything by 2020, KFC has created a range of chicken-themed hardware including a keyboard, mouse and grossly impractical USB stick.
The deep-fried accessories are part of a social media promotion for the restaurant in Japan, with one winner being selected to receive each of these prizes – yes, follow KFC on Twitter for a novelty USB stick, that's the world we live in now!
It follows a similar drive by the fast food chain in the US which saw it market fried chicken corsages ahead of prom season.
The whole thing is obviously a stupid PR stunt, but the webpage for it is worth glancing over if just to see how joyful/constipated Colonel Sanders looks in Japan.
For other unusual KFC-related creations, please see the recently invented chocolate fried chicken.
