2026 Rocks: Epstein Files, Prada, Protests, and a RAT Pedal!

The release of new files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation continued to generate global repercussions, while the entertainment world buzzed with Grammy nominations and upcoming releases. The Justice Department's release of approximately three million pages of documents on Friday revealed further details about Epstein's connections to prominent figures, according to Time.

The files included previously unseen communications between Epstein and individuals such as Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Time noted that the presence of a person's name or communications in the files does not indicate wrongdoing. However, the revelations have had international consequences, including a resignation in Slovakia's government and a terse response from India's prime minister, according to Time.

Meanwhile, the 68th Grammy Awards, set to take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, dominated entertainment headlines. Trevor Noah hosted the ceremony for the last time, marking the end of CBS's 50-year run as the network host. Time reported that the Grammys will move to ABC, Hulu, and Disney next year. Kendrick Lamar led this year's nominations with nine nods, followed by Lady Gaga, Cirkut, and Jack Antonoff with seven, and Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter with six, according to Time. Bad Bunny's nomination was historic.

Other entertainment news included the strong opening of the controversial "Melania" documentary and the upcoming release of a trailer for the "Devil Wears Prada" sequel, according to multiple news sources. Interest in the Melanie McGuire case also resurfaced due to a new Lifetime movie, as reported by multiple news sources.

In other news, a detailed history and timeline of the ProCo RAT pedal was compiled, correcting inaccuracies found elsewhere, according to Hacker News. The ProCo RAT, a distortion pedal popular among musicians, has been around since 1977. One individual recounted their experience with RF remote interference after switching to Dish Network, according to Hacker News. TechCrunch's upcoming Founder Summit was also mentioned.
