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 Facebook page that exclusively posts one picture of Jim Carrey daily has attracted over 60,000 loyal followers.
It's not a remarkable picture of Jim Carrey, you could even say it's an everyday picture of Jim Carrey, every day.
It sees him smiling against a blue background presumably on a red carpet, with all others cropped out to focus attention on his cheerful visage, and has been reliably getting about 7,000 Likes each day (and growing).
Is it an appreciation of Jim Carrey? Is it a comment on the homogeneity of Facebook posts? No-one knows, the About section only promises: "We can guarantee you get the same photo of Jim Carrey everyday."
Followers have been getting meta in the comments section, posting 'spot the difference' composites of the same photo and parodying the 'Who's that Pokemon?' meme.
The page isn't a million miles from Duck of the Day, another very simplistic but popular Facebook that just posts a daily picture of a nice-looking duck.
