Explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift have been circulating the internet, and erm, we think technology has evolved enough now. But in the age of “deepfakes” do any of us actually own our face or other bits? And how do we protect ourselves online?

Plus, the world is thirsty for insulated water vessels, so when did we all get so dehydrated?

And, who’s entitled to an award show nomination? Apparently, the genius female minds behind the Barbie movie aren’t… But, is a movie about a doll worthy of an Oscar? Not all of our hosts are convinced.

• Read: Inside the cult of water bottles.
• Read: Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig both missed out on Oscar nominations, but for very different reasons.
