Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Jaden Smith, actor, rapper and prolific poster of pseudo-philosophy, has disappeared from Twitter and Facebook and made his Instagram private, for reasons unknown.

It's possible he became overwhelmed by the volume of social media, but a perhaps more likely explanation is that this is some kind of stunt.

As in he will reinstate his Twitter in a day's time and post something like 'OMG YOU GUYS I WAS STILL HERE THE ENTIRE TIME, MY AURORA CAN SPREAD DOWN DIFFERENT AVENUES. I AM EVERYWHERE AT ONCE. I AM JADEN. I AM NOT JADEN.'

While his tweets threaten to be lost in their entirety forever, fortunately Complex thought to save a fair few of them and turn them into a quiz, encompassing such classics as 'Currently Going Through Customs Even Though I Was Born on This Planet,' 'Instagram Is A Black Hole Of Time And Energy', and the infamous arboreal nugget of wisdom that was: 'Most Trees Are Blue'.

While we await word from his rep, here are some other people as upset about this as I am:
