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.Another year, another hook-up app. Bang With Friends launched last week and claims to anonymously hook-up friends who might not have plucked up the courage to ask for no-strings sex in person.
According to the app's Californian creators, who have kept their identities a secret, over 30,000 users have signed up already - mostly "20-somethings" - and more are joining at the rate of 5 per minute.
To join, users select the friends with whom they'd be "down to bang" then wait to see if those friends have selected them too. Only when a match is made are both parties alerted of the other's identity via email. At that point, we presume, the magic happens.
So will you be logging on and "awaiting bangs"? Or is this just too creepy? Take our poll.
