Moviegoers had a lot of popular choices in 2025, from big-budget Hollywood films to animated movies from around the world.

After eighteen seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race, plus numerous All Stars, international, and Vs. The World spin-offs, the show’s format is very familiar to everyone. Over the years, Drag Race has evolved from a low-budget production into a popular, award-winning series, but it now feels a bit dated. The decision to no longer host the finale in a large theater feels disappointing and cheap. RuPaul doesn’t have the same energy as before, and some of the classic challenges, like the talent show and Snatch Game, aren’t as exciting anymore. What’s most frustrating is that recent seasons seem to focus on very young contestants, as the show prioritizes discovering and developing new talent for future All Stars seasons, rather than showcasing polished, experienced queens.

![The study demonstrates how increasingly refined stochastic interpolation-using SINNOs with parameters [latex]n=5, 10, 20, 50[/latex]-can approximate the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, revealing that even simple numerical methods can converge towards the true stochastic path with sufficient refinement.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.24106v1/SINNOsapprox.png)
Researchers have developed a new approach to accurately simulate and predict stochastic processes using a novel type of neural network operator.
Many fantastic movies from the 1980s initially received mixed or negative reviews, which unfortunately impacted how well they did in theaters.
