AI face, caffeine and shoe size

I just heard of a vicious cycle. AI is being trained on pictures of people online and the people with the most views online are white faces with fillers, injectables and plastic surgery to make them look more like the pictures on AI. I see this in running ads. Only sometimes do running brands use their sponsored athletes as models (still mostly white and conventionally pretty, but at least we know they run). So often the people in the ads look like they have never run, aren't sweaty or dirty and are a size two with perfect make up. Make them look muscular, make it stop. 

Let's all start following some badass women with strong bodies that don't look like the algorithm. Women from Cross Fit or shot put, women from powerlifting, women who build stuff, and the world's leading almost therapist and comedian. 

If we only see people who look a certain way, we are bound to start feeling a certain way if we don't look like that. I hope your certain way is strong, capable and not something AI is suggesting.

FOR YOUR EARS

• Science Vs is a podcast that tackles lots of fun issues. I recommend this one on caffeine in case you feel guilty about your daily cup or three (spoiler, don't be!). 
• The Hidden Brain tackles how social connections, emotions and context effect how we feel pain. How to Combat Pain. 

TINY THOUGHT SNACKS

• Dehydration makes your carb intake less effective. (yet another study with only male participants, thanks scientists!)
• A footwear company checked people's shoes against their shoe size and it turns out, lots of people are wearing the wrong size shoe. My question is, if they are comfortable, is it wrong?
• It takes four minutes to introduce the runners in this 100-meter race that is over in the blink of an eye but for those couple seconds, it is pure magic watching Sha'Carri Richardson run. The acceleration is something I don't have, won't ever get and can't understand BUT love to witness. 

YOU ARE INVITED TO MOBILITY
