Also on Friday, rapper J. Cole released a song called "Be Free," which excerpts quotes from Dorian Johnson, an eyewitness to Brown's killing.

There Is A Gay Couple In "The Expendables 3," Apparently
“You guys want to get a room?” says Sylvester Stallone. SPOILERS ahead, but does it really matter?

The last movie one would probably expect to see a gay couple in is a bullet-soaked action spectacular starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford, about 73 other action stars, and Mel Gibson as the bad guy. But it would appear there is one in The Expendables 3, the latest installment in Stallone's omnibus action franchise, which opened in theaters on Friday.
(Warning: This story contains some SPOILERS, if there is such a thing for these movies.)
In the final scene of the film, the Expendables are at their favorite dive bar celebrating another successful mission of killing an endless parade of faceless bad guys. Lead Expendable Barney Ross (Stallone) approaches his old rival Trench (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who is commiserating with one of Ross' former compatriots, Yin Yang (Jet Li), both of whom swooped in to help save Ross' team in the climax of the movie.
"So, you're working for Trench now?" Ross asks Yang, who responds by just shooting Trench a knowing look and a smile. As Ross turns to walk away, Trench and Yang lean in even closer to each other, grinning so widely, they almost start to giggle.
"You guys want to get a room?" asks Ross.
"We don't need a room!" Trench says with a laugh. He pulls Yang in close, Yang rests his head on Trench's chest, and the two of them laugh contentedly.
As Ross walks away, Trench exclaims, "So jealous!"

War Zone In Ferguson: How Billions In Military Weapons Ended Up In The Hands Of Local Police
Ferguson, Mo., is one of many American cities that has received battle gear from the federal government. The program was started to counter drug activity but critics say it encourages police officers to adopt a “warrior mentality.”

The highly militarized police response to the protests in Ferguson has been widely observed — and widely criticized. Writing for Business Insider, former Marine Paul Szoldra catalogued the military weaponry on display in Ferguson, then observed that "this is not a war zone [...]. This is a city outside of St. Louis where people on both sides are angry." Journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote Thursday that the events in Ferguson are "the destructive by-product of several decades of deliberate militarization of American policing." And soldiers have begun to draw startling comparisons between their own armaments and those of the police.

Ranking The "Guardians Of The Galaxy" Characters
Sure, we are all Groot — but when it comes to who’s on top in Marvel’s weirdest movie, there can be only one. Warning: Spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy ahead!
Thanos
Performed by: Josh Brolin
Strengths: Super evil, has a nifty space throne, father to multiple resentful adopted, augmented daughters.
Weaknesses: Guardians of the Galaxy is blissfully free of most obligations toward laying groundwork for future Marvel installments, but Thanos really doesn't have much to do in the movie other than remind us that he'll eventually be coming down the pike as a Big Bad.
Marvel Studios
Nova Prime Irani Rael
Played by: Glenn Close
Strengths: In charge of Xandar's Nova Corps, and played by Glenn goddamn Close. Also, she has quite the futuristic updo — what is even going on there?
Weaknesses: Only there to deliver typical (space) police chief lines.
Marvel Studios
Korath the Pursuer
Played by: Djimon Hounsou
Strengths: Pursuing. Also has neat eyes and head implants, and gets to complete one of the movie's best ongoing jokes regarding Peter Quill's would-be outlaw name, Star-Lord.
Weaknesses: In the end, Korath is just one of Ronan's lackeys.
Marvel Studios
Kraglin
Played by: Sean Gunn
Strengths: Director James Gunn's brother Sean was an offscreen MVP during Guardians of the Galaxy's filming, so it's only fitting that he get a small but memorable on-screen part as Yondu Udonta's first mate.
Weaknesses: It may be inspired by his boss's biomechanical head fin, but that hairstyle's just not flattering.

The Cast Of "Downton Abbey" Gave An Awesome Response To That Water Bottle Mistake
Well played everyone, well played.
You know how last week a plastic water bottle ended up in a Downton Abbey publicity picture?
Nick Briggs/Carnival Film & Television Ltd/ITV
Well, this has appeared on the show's Instagram.
After seeing the reaction the picture caused earlier this week, the cast and crew came up with the idea of turning some of this attention towards an issue around water that really matters. They hope that by posing for this picture they will be able to raise awareness and amplify the work of international charity - WaterAid.

13 Cheaper Alternatives To Life's Expensive Necessities

Blender: Vitamix vs. Ninja
In this test, the Ninja and the Vitamix performed almost exactly the same making smoothies and milkshakes. The Vitamix was a little quieter and easier to clean, but for $320 less, the Ninja is a great alternative. Get one here.
Vacuum: Dyson vs. Shark
This video review shows the Shark actually sucks more than the Dyson. (In this case, sucking is a good thing.) And you'll save $240! Get one here.
Dutch Oven: Le Creuset vs. Lodge
In this test, both brands performed exactly the same. The Le Creuset comes in slightly different volumes (3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 1/2 & 7 1/2 quart) than the Lodge (3, 4.6, 6, 7 quart), but otherwise the $350 difference doesn't get you anything different. Check out the Lodge here.

These Elaborate Ball Gowns Were Inspired By Cancer Cells
A professor at the University of British Columbia designed a collection of evening gowns inspired by microscopic photos of the disease.
Jacqueline Firkins, an assistant professor in the Theatre and Film department of the University of British Columbia, recently designed ten very unusual evening dresses.
The designs had an unexpected inspiration: microscopic photos of cancer cells and the body systems they affect.
The dresses are part of a larger research project called “Fashioning Cancer: The Correlation between Destruction and Beauty,” aimed at creating a dialogue about the many ways cancer affects the body and body image of patients.
“It really started from the idea of trying to figure out how to use my craft as an artist in conjunction with somebody way outside of my field," Firkins said on the project's website.
Firkins added, “As soon as I came up with the idea I started talking to some of my friends who’ve been through cancer about body image, about what they went through when they got diagnosed, what they dealt with when they went through treatment, and I thought, well, clothes are kind of the perfect art for this.”
So she and colleague Professor Christian C.G. Naus teamed up to create a wearable project that was more connected to the disease itself.
