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.

A mere nine years after it was first shown on TV, Series 12 of The Simpsons arrives on DVD.

Whether this is big news or not slightly depends on whether you feel the need to own a complete edition of a show that is almost never off the air and has so little interest in anything like a multi-episode plot arc that even the term series feels like a bit of a misnomer. If, given those conditions, you still need it in your library, I'm happy to report that there is nothing wrong with this edition, which comes laden with extras and features a decent wodge of 21 episodes for your money. As to the actual show – well, it's so comforting that reviewing it would be like reviewing your cat, if your cat was very, very funny, albeit marginally less brilliant than it was in its pomp. Look out in particular for Comic Book Guy's turn in the inaccurately named "Worst Episode Ever".
