Grammys Shock: Cher Blunders, Bad Bunny Wins, Epstein Looms!

The 68th Grammy Awards, held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 1, 2026, saw several historic wins and a memorable gaffe. Kendrick Lamar led the night with five wins, breaking Jay-Z's record to become the most-awarded rapper in Grammy history, according to Variety. Bad Bunny also made history, becoming the first Spanish-language artist to win Album of the Year for "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," beating out Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Pusha T and Malice, Kendrick Lamar, and Leon Thomas, Variety reported.

The ceremony, which marked Trevor Noah's final year as host after holding the position since 2021, also saw a changing of the guard for the broadcast network. Time Magazine noted that the Grammys will move from CBS, its home for over 50 years, to ABC, Hulu, and Disney next year.

One of the most talked-about moments of the night occurred when Cher announced the winner of Record of the Year. In what Variety described as a moment reminiscent of John Travolta's infamous "Adele Dazeem" flub, Cher announced "Luther Vandross" as the winner. The award, however, actually went to Kendrick Lamar and SZA for "Luther," a tribute to the R&B singer who passed away in 2005.

Despite a recent health scare, Lola Young performed at the Grammys, marking her return to the stage after four months. "Lola Young was 'nervous as hell' performing at the Grammys," Variety stated, adding that the performance followed her win for Best Pop Solo Performance for "Messy." She spoke about stepping back into the spotlight at Spotify's Best New Artist party on Thursday night, saying, "This is where I belong."

While the televised portion of the Grammys highlighted these key moments, the vast majority of awards were distributed during the pre-telecast premiere ceremony, according to Time. The Recording Academy has not yet announced specific details regarding the broadcast changes for next year's ceremony.

Amidst fading European trust in the US government due to policies under the Trump administration, a debate has reignited in Germany, and similarly in Italy, regarding the repatriation of its gold reserves, with 1,236 tonnes (over 100 billion) currently stored in the US as a legacy of the Bretton Woods system. Some politicians, like Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, argue that keeping the gold in the US is no longer justifiable given recent political developments, while others cite potential risks associated with such a move, as reported across various news sources.

Shutdown Drags On as Protests, Violence, and Policy Battles Erupt

Tech Tussles: Tesla Rebrands, Robot Baristas Brew, NIH Battles

Synthesizing information from multiple news sources, Tesla's 2025 earnings reveal that despite Elon Musk's efforts to brand it as a sustainable energy, AI, and robotics company, the majority of its $94.8 billion revenue still comes from EV sales and leasing, with profits down 46% year-over-year. As EV sales decline, Tesla plans to increase capital expenditure in 2026, potentially leading to negative cash flow, and will discontinue Model S and Model X production, signaling a shift beyond AI-robotics talk towards concrete action.

This shift necessitates a system-level approach to designing retrieval platforms that prioritize freshness, governance, and evaluation, mirroring the rigor applied to traditional infrastructure like compute and storage.
