Simu Liu Calls ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ A “Love Letter To The Entire Genre Of Superhero Movies”

Simu Liu is set to reprise his role as Shang-Chi in the upcoming Marvel film *Avengers: Doomsday*, teasing fans ahead of its 2026 release. In a recent interview, Liu shared his excitement about reuniting with a vast array of actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and offered insights into what viewers can expect from the film, directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo.

“I mean, there are just so many actors in it, and getting to work with those people as peers is really incredible because I grew up watching so many of them,” Liu told ScreenRant. Among the star-studded cast, Liu will share credits with Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Vanessa Kirby (Susan Storm), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), and Florence Pugh (Yelena), among many others.

Describing the film, Liu said, “It feels, in a lot of ways, like a love letter to the entire genre of superhero movies. And I think there’s something really fun about that.” He added that *Avengers: Doomsday* is “for all the misfits and the weirdos and the underdogs that grew up reading comic books and feeling like there was hope for them somehow—that it didn’t matter if they didn’t fit in. I think there’s just always a special place in my heart for that entire genre.”

*Avengers: Doomsday* is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. The film is being directed by the Russo brothers, Joe and Anthony, with a script penned by Michael Waldron and Stephen McFeely.

Joining Liu and the previously mentioned stars, the film also features Lewis Pullman (Sentry), Danny Ramirez (Joaquín Torres / Falcon), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier / Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Channing Tatum (Gambit).

With such an extraordinary ensemble and a heartfelt narrative, *Avengers: Doomsday* promises to be a memorable addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fans can look forward to an exciting and emotional journey when the film hits theaters later this year.

ArXiv Blocks AI-Generated Survey Papers After ‘Flood’ of Trashy Submissions

**ArXiv Limits AI-Generated Review Papers in Computer Science Category Amid Surge in Submissions**

ArXiv, the free research repository founded at Cornell University and widely used by scientists and technologists around the world, has announced a significant policy change for its Computer Science category. Starting immediately, the platform will no longer accept review articles or position papers unless they have already undergone peer review and been accepted at a recognized journal or conference.

The policy shift, announced on October 31, comes in response to a dramatic increase in AI-generated survey papers, which moderators describe as “little more than annotated bibliographies.” Whereas historically ArXiv received a small number of high-quality review articles—typically authored by senior researchers—the repository now faces hundreds of these submissions every month.

An official statement on ArXiv explained the situation: “In the past few years, ArXiv has been flooded with papers. Generative AI/large language models have added to this flood by making papers—especially papers not introducing new research results—fast and easy to write.”

Thomas G. Dietterich, an ArXiv moderator and former president of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, elaborated on X (formerly Twitter): “We were driven to this decision by a big increase in LLM-assisted survey papers. We don’t have the moderator resources to examine these submissions and identify the good surveys from the bad ones.”

The rise of AI-assisted research writing is supported by recent studies. Research published in *Nature Human Behaviour* found that nearly a quarter of all computer science paper abstracts showed signs of large language model modification as of September 2024. Similarly, a study in *Science Advances* reported a sharp increase in AI use in research papers published in 2024 following the launch of ChatGPT.

ArXiv relies on volunteer moderators who filter submissions based on scholarly value and topical relevance but do not perform peer reviews. While review articles and position papers were never officially accepted content types, moderators previously allowed exceptions for work from established researchers or scientific societies. However, this discretionary system has become unsustainable given the volume of AI-generated content.

The research community’s reaction to the new policy has been mixed. Some, like AI safety researcher Stephen Casper, worry it may unfairly impact early-career researchers and those working on ethics and governance—groups that frequently produce review and position papers. “Review/position papers are disproportionately written by young people, people without access to lots of compute, and people who are not at institutions that have lots of publishing experience,” Casper noted in his critique.

Others have sharply criticized ArXiv’s decision as misguided or shortsighted, while some support stricter measures, including the use of AI detection tools to identify generated content. However, AI detection tools remain unreliable and prone to high false-positive rates, risking wrongful rejection of legitimate research. Adding to the complexity, a recent study found that researchers failed to detect one-third of ChatGPT-generated medical abstracts as machine-written. Furthermore, the American Association for Cancer Research reported that fewer than 25% of authors disclosed AI use in their papers, despite mandatory disclosure policies.

Under the new ArXiv policy, authors wishing to submit review or position papers to the Computer Science category must provide documentation of successful peer review, including journal references and DOIs. Reviews from workshops will not satisfy this standard.

Importantly, ArXiv clarified that this policy change currently applies only to the Computer Science section, though similar measures may extend to other categories if they experience comparable surges in AI-generated submissions.

*This update reflects ArXiv’s efforts to maintain the quality and integrity of its repository amid rapidly evolving challenges posed by AI-assisted research writing.*

Gerry Turner defends Mel Owens over his controversial ‘Golden Bachelor’ age limit

**Bachelors Stick Up for Each Other: Gerry Turner Weighs In on Mel Owens’ Controversial Comments**

Gerry Turner, the first “Golden Bachelor,” recently shared his thoughts on his Season 2 successor Mel Owens’ controversial remarks.

“Well, I don’t really know what to think about it,” Turner told The Post exclusively. “I feel like he’s done a great job of reestablishing what his true opinion is. I think perhaps that his comments could have been taken a bit out of context.”

Owens, 66, faced backlash before his season premiered after he said he wouldn’t date women over 60. “If they’re 60 or over, I’m cutting them. This is not ‘The Silver Bachelor,’ this is ‘The Golden Bachelor,’” the Season 2 star stated in June.

A former Los Angeles Rams player from 1981 to 1989, Owens added that the women had “to be fit, because I’m staying in shape and work out and stuff. And I told them [to] try and stay away from artificial hips and the wigs.”

His comments quickly sparked criticism online. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “He doesn’t seem like the type for ‘in sickness and in health.’” Another added, “Awful. I won’t watch with a jerk in the lead.” A third user commented, “Sounds like a real winner. Shocking ABC doesn’t care that they’re going to make women fight over a shallow sexist jerk.”

In response, Owens told Fox News Digital, “I apologized when I met the women on the first night,” and emphasized, “there’s no age to love.” He explained that his earlier remarks were “unfair, and I apologized and went forward and asked them to let me earn it back and, hopefully, I did on the season.”

Turner, who starred in Season 1 of “The Golden Bachelor,” told The Post, “Maybe he was judged a bit too harshly about what he had to say. I think his actions on the show are a far more important indicator of who he is as a person.”

However, Turner admitted he hadn’t watched more than “the first episode” of Season 2 due to recent travel. “I have the other episodes recorded, but I haven’t been home to watch them. It is on my to-do list this week with Lana and I, to catch up on that show,” he said, referring to his current fiancée, Lana Sutton.

Turner met Sutton after splitting from his Season 1 choice, Theresa Nist, 72. After marrying during the show, Turner and Nist divorced just three months later.

Reflecting on his own experience, Turner expressed sympathy for Owens dealing with public criticism.

“There were times when it was very difficult. Not only some of the comments directed at me, but also those comments out there that I knew my daughters and granddaughters saw,” he said.

“The general public sometimes can be very cruel in their comments and only know a small portion of the story and give the most negative aspects of the story the most life,” the Indiana-based reality TV star added. “But that’s just kind of the way things are. I think anyone who has some public appearance or public stature has to kind of expect that, to a certain extent.”

How a father’s injury led his son to help others in his career

When Garreth Bell was asked in a fourth-grade school assignment who his hero was, he didn’t hesitate to say: his dad, Stephen.

Garreth had a question for his dad: Why are you in a wheelchair? The answer dates back long before Garreth was born.

In 1992, Stephen was just 22 years old when he woke up with extreme back pain between his shoulder blades. It turned out that a blood vessel had burst in his spine, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down.

“I was in rehab for about two months, learning how to just live again. I gained a whole new perspective on the world,” Stephen recalled.

In his school assignment, Garreth wrote, “It’s like he’s still walking because he takes care of himself and the family.” Those words profoundly changed how Stephen felt about himself.

In an email to CBS News contributor David Begnaud, Stephen explained how much Garreth’s words meant to him.

**Son gives dad a special memory**

“When I read it, I felt seen for the first time in a long time. It was as if he understood what I had gone through and how I battled daily to continue to provide for our family regardless of the circumstances,” Stephen wrote.

The assignment also shaped Garreth’s future. He wrote, “Poppa, I’ve been watching you suffer my whole life. I should become someone who can do something about it so that others don’t have to go through what you went through.”

True to his word, Garreth went on to pursue a path to help others. He attended the University of Miami and became a physical therapist. Today, he helps run adaptive beach days—events that assist people with disabilities in getting into the water.

Recently, Garreth helped his dad experience the ocean firsthand for the first time in more than 25 years.

“They had to keep me from jumping out of the chair and swimming,” Stephen said. “It was just like heaven for me.”

“It was the biggest smile I’ve ever seen,” Garreth added, grateful for the special moment.

Since that first swim, Stephen has returned to the beach several times. He considers his son’s compassion and empathy his greatest qualities.

“I was surprised that he said I’m his hero because looking back, if I had to say it again, I’d say I want to be like him when I grow up,” Stephen said. “I strive to be the person that he actually sees.”

For Garreth, the answer to who his hero is remains the same today.

“He taught me how to be a man. He was my role model growing up, and he still is,” Garreth said.

How to spot November’s supermoon, the closest of the year

NEW YORK — The moon will appear slightly bigger and brighter Wednesday night during the closest supermoon of the year.

The moon’s orbit around the Earth isn’t a perfect circle, causing it to get nearer and farther as it swings around. A so-called supermoon occurs when a full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. This makes the moon look up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the faintest moon of the year, according to NASA.

November’s supermoon is the second of three supermoons this year and also the closest. The moon will come within just under 222,000 miles (357,000 kilometers) of Earth.

Tides may be slightly higher during a supermoon because the moon is closer to Earth, said astronomer Lawrence Wasserman with Lowell Observatory. However, the difference isn’t very noticeable.

No special equipment is needed to view the supermoon, provided skies are clear. But the change in the moon’s size can be tough to discern with the naked eye.

“The difference is most obvious as a comparison between other images or observations,” said Shannon Schmoll, director of Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, in an email.

Supermoons happen a few times a year. One in October made the moon look somewhat larger, and another in December will be the last of the year.

‘Battling Between Good and Evil’: Ex-Wife of DMX on Marriage, Struggles, and the Day She Met Jesus

Tashera Draughn met Earl Simmons when she was just 11 years old. She dated him for 10 years before marrying the man who would later gain fame as rapper DMX.

During a recent conversation with CBN, Tashera shared about her marriage to the hip hop legend.

“This was always his dream. He knew that he was gifted with his talent, which I didn’t really see it for what it was until it actually, really happened. But he said, ‘This is how we going to make it out the hood,’” Tashera said.

She recalled how married life started off easily, then turned into a nightmare after DMX’s meteoric rise in the music world.

“In an industry where it is the devil’s playground, where morals and values are out the window, I watched my best friend gain the world,” she explained.

It is widely known that DMX struggled with drug addiction, which led to legal battles and multiple stints behind bars. Later in his career, the Grammy-nominated rapper, who often spoke about God, began to incorporate his love for God into his lyrics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, DMX used social media to lead thousands in a Bible study and pray for salvation.

“He’s the one who introduced me to Christ,” Tashera explained. “I knew that he knew he was being used for Christ. But I saw the constant fight he was battling. He was battling between good and evil.”

That evil included the pain of marital infidelity and abuse.

“To be totally transparent, I was lost,” said Tashera. “I lost myself. I lost my soul in that marriage. If it wasn’t for my oldest son saying that one day, he said, ‘If the next time I see my father and hear him abusing you verbally, I’m going to kill him.’”

Those words from 14-year-old Xavier served as a wake-up call for Tashera to take her family and leave.

“I saw the look in his eyes and I realized that if you’re not going to do it for yourself, Shera, you have to do it for your children,” Tashera said.

In 2025, while separated from her husband, Tashera, who grew up a Muslim, said she experienced a spiritual encounter that set her on a new path.

“I didn’t know Jesus the way I should have, so I was in the closet,” she explained. “Things were going really bad. It was going really left, and I cried the hardest cry. I mean, it was from my soul. It was from my spirit. I did not know what else to do. I felt warmth, a peace that I’ve never ever experienced before. And at the time, it was scary. But when I had to replay it, it was Jesus because I was crying out, ‘If You were real, You would come see me. You would show me Your love. This is not what You say You’re about.’ And that’s what I was saying in that moment, and then He came.”

The experience is just one of many Tashera shares in her latest book, *Dying to Self*, which outlines her transformative journey.

“The industry that I was birthed in is the devil’s playground, and there’s so many women and men out there that they think they know, but they have no idea. And I felt like it was time. I owed it to Jesus to let the world know that, had it not been for Him on my side, I don’t know where I would be,” Tashera said.

In 2014, Tashera and Earl divorced, and on April 9, 2021, at the age of 50, DMX died after suffering a heart attack. At his funeral, Tashera shared about the love God had for Earl and his sincere desire to serve Christ.

Today, Tashera is on a mission to share the healing and hope she has found.

“Jesus Christ is love. I mean, that’s the only way I could really fully say it, because I didn’t know what love was until I found His love, His unconditional love, the love that when I mess up, when I make mistakes, when I get distracted, He’s still sitting there.”

It is a love that has made a strong impact on Tashera and Earl’s children, who experienced their own challenges growing up in the home of the late rapper. Her youngest son Sean was recently baptized after committing his life to Christ.

“Our Godly Father has picked them up and turned their lives around. And they don’t have depression anymore. They don’t cut anymore. They don’t feel abandoned anymore because of the love of Jesus Christ.”

Thunder Guard Gives Details on Terrifying Burglary

While the Oklahoma City Thunder have been cruising to victory on the court, star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been facing challenges off the court. The Thunder have won seven straight games to start the season, just a year after capturing the NBA title. Gilgeous-Alexander has continued to shine as the best player on the league’s top team, but recently, he has had to deal with a serious personal issue.

### Break-In at Gilgeous-Alexander’s Home

Just before Halloween, while the Thunder were playing a game against the Washington Wizards, there was a break-in at Gilgeous-Alexander’s home. This incident comes amid a wave of high-profile burglaries linked to alleged organized criminal activities. Fortunately, Gilgeous-Alexander was not at home during the break-in.

Speaking to reporters after a win against the New Orleans Pelicans, he provided a reassuring update on the situation:
“Long story short, everybody’s safe, and that’s all that really matters in the whole thing. Everything else can come and go, but my loved ones are safe, so I’m OK. I’m happy.”

### Staying Focused on the Court

Despite the unsettling incident, Gilgeous-Alexander’s on-court performance has remained unaffected. He scored 30 points in just 30 minutes against the Pelicans, demonstrating his resilience and focus. His dedication is a key reason the Thunder have started the season unbeaten at 7-0, the last undefeated team remaining in the NBA.

With this current streak, the Thunder haven’t lost since Game 6 of the NBA Finals in June against the Indiana Pacers. Last season, Oklahoma City won 68 games and they appear even stronger this year.

### Ongoing Investigation

At this time, it is unknown whether any items were stolen during the break-in or if anyone else was home at the time. The Associated Press reports that the police have not released further details, and no arrests have been made yet.

### Thunder’s Historic Start Thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Oklahoma City’s play on both ends of the floor has been exceptional. The team boasts the second-best defense in the league, allowing under 110 points per game, while ranking seventh in scoring.

Though this break-in is undoubtedly unsettling for Gilgeous-Alexander, there is little indication he will take time away from basketball to handle the situation. It remains to be seen what security measures or actions he will pursue in response to the break-in.

### Looking Ahead

Coming into the season as favorites to repeat as NBA champions, the Thunder have so far lived up to expectations. They have started healthy, a contrast to some other contenders, and continue to build momentum.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder as they aim to defend their title and maintain their historic winning streak.
