‘Harry Potter’ fans forced a £430 million sea cable to be relocated in order to avoid the ‘grave’ of Dobby on a Welsh beach.
The power cable linking the UK & Ireland now passes near Bronze Age human burial remains instead of the fictional character’s grave site following complaints from fans.
Bill Maher made a joke about Ariana Grande’s weight during Friday’s episode of “Real Time,” and drew mixed reactions from his live audience:
“The administration this week, just a few days ago, maybe yesterday, unleashed a new trove of UFO files. Interesting things in there. Triangular craft, weird lights over an army base, a stick-like figure with large eyes. Oh, that was just an Ariana Grande video. Please, we kid. We kid. Maybe that joke will make her eat something.”

alright. let’s say ariana came onto social media tomorrow and said, “you were all correct. i do infact have an eating disorder.” then what? what exactly do people think their job is after that? she’s a global celebrity, not someone’s fucking neighbour. she has family. friends. a management team. a record label. doctors. people who ACTUALLY know her. fans are consumers. they are observers. they are not her treatment team, and acting as though it’s the internet’s responsibility to diagnose and manage the health of a woman they’ve never met and know nothing about is absolutely absurd.
people keep acting as though posting “she looks like she’s dying” or “she’s way too skinny” is some noble act of awareness, but if she were genuinely suffering from an eating disorder, there’s a very real possibility that this kind of obsessive public scrutiny would be harmful rather than helpful. recovery from an eating disorder isn’t fuelled by millions of strangers analysing your body from every conceivable angle and in MOST cases, having your appearance constantly dissected becomes part of the disorder itself, reinforcing an unhealthy fixation on weight, shape, and external validation.
so please, enlighten me, what is actually being achieved by turning “is ariana grande too skinny?” into a weekly trending topic? IF the concern is sincere (and i really truly doubt it is), saying it once is enough. after that, it stops reading as concern and starts reading as malice. there is a difference between expressing concern and endlessly consuming someone’s body as a topic of entertainment. i am so fucking sick to death of strangers on the internet who are convinced they have both the authority and the obligation to comment on a woman’s body every single day. THIS IS NOT ADVOCACY.
Ariana Grande impersonator Paige Niemann reveals in her documentary that the singer DMed her:
“i am flattered and i am sure you're very sweet. but i just wanted you to know, i looked back a little ways on your page and i think someone should tell you if they haven't today that you're very beautiful as YOURSELF. without all the make up and trying to make your face look more similar to someone else's and whatnot. i had to say it because it is the truth. always do what makes you happy of course but if i didn't say that to you, i'd regret it. you're beautiful as you are. take care”
