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.Let’s raise a celebratory glass of something sparkling on behalf of Anders Howard, a man who has put paid to the erroneous idea that games developers never get the girl.
He came up with the sweetly geeky idea of creating a video game in order to propose to his girlfriend Steffany. After persuading friends and colleagues to lend him their skills, Howard put together a food-based mini game which featured Steffany. He then invited her to test the game – with a crowd of onlookers – and when she unlocked the “diamond ring achievement” he got down on one knee to propose. To watch this supercute example of gaming and romantic prowess, visit Howards’s site at Goo.gl/HIpc and you can even play yourself (wedding not included).
