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.

This odd site is in effect an almanac of disasters referenced by every date this century. It's not particularly well designed, but it does seem to be pretty comprehensive. You can select a date and learn about all manner of disasters which have occurred down through the years. As well as enhancing any pre-millennium tension, it is also ideal source for offbeat birthday emails.

Crust webzine is, on the face of it, just another pop-culture magazine but it's put together with so much charm and so informally that it's in fact rather pleasant. The clue to its endearing content and haphazard design lies in an apology the owner ran: "I'm really sorry I haven't been able to update lately. Too much schoolwork."
