This week has been interesting. From theft to scandals…let’s unpack it all !

1. For years, Adobe has been the name creatives couldn’t escape. Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro…the whole creative department under one umbrella.
Now, competing creative apps are offering the same tools Adobe has with a 100% discount. It’s not hard to see which option looks more tempting. 
Adobe, how are we feeling about sharing?

2. A sermon by Apostle Paul Gitwaza sparked criticism after remarks associating nurses and midwives with witchcraft circulated online.
The statements prompted reactions from healthcare professionals and raised concerns about the portrayal of people whose work is essential to public health.
Gitwaza subsequently apologized, but the controversy has opened a wider conversation about the influence of religious leaders and the responsibility that comes with public speech.

3. Imagine winning an election and having to explain your birth certificate before your policies.
Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores, a 45-year-old politician in Peru, has won the mayoral election in Queropalca with 229 votes, narrowly defeating his closest rival by just 25 votes.
Despite sharing his first two names with two of history’s most notorious dictators, Flores ran on a centre-left party ticket.
Some politicians spend years building name recognition. This man’s parents handled that before he could walk.

4. The black cat clapping filter has taken over social media, turning awkward moments and unnecessary drama into opportunities for a very suspicious round of applause. 
From celebrating the bare minimum to applauding absolute chaos, the internet has found a new way to say “well done” without actually meaning it.
