The only thing NYPD officers love as much as hitting people in the face with their fists, feet, and other assorted objects, it sometimes seems, is a well-placed F-bomb. According to deputy commissioner for training Michael Julian, all that stuff's on its way out.

On Tuesday, Darren Wilson spoke with ABC News's George Stephanopoulos for over an hour. In the interview, a promo for which was released Tuesday afternoon, Wilson repeatedly defended killing Michael Brown in August, saying he did what he was trained to do that day and that wouldn't do anything differently. Later in the interview, Wilson told Stephanopoulos he had a clean conscience, though he said he regretted the loss of life.

On Friday, Gawker reported that Vogue’s brand-new offices at 1 World Trade Center had a predicament as old as New York City itself: a rat infestation. It’s already gotten so bad that editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is wary of entering her personal office. Over the next three days, two other outlets reported even grosser details. You might want to sit down.

The Object Solutions website offers a bevy of highly specific products that might be useful if you could actually buy them: magnifying spoon, "lint investment system," full-body-sized moist towelette. But none of the wares on display actually exist.

Everyone likes a little nutmeg in their pumpkin pie. Careful, though—not too much.

Disgraced former Canadian radio show host Jian Ghomeshi has withdrawn his $55 million lawsuit against his longtime employer, the CBC.

David Kim, formerly of the Corcoran group, was sentenced to up to five years in prison this week for breaking into and stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property from a $7.6 million Upper West Side townhouse shortly after he'd sold it to the happy couple living there.

A history of billionaire magnet 432 Park Avenue, Manhattan's tallest residential tower: "In previous generations, when towers of this scale were erected, they were monuments to working. 432 Park, unlike the Chrysler Building, the World Financial Center, and the Empire State Building, is a monument to owning."

Kirk Cameron—holy moron, village idiot, bigot in pilgrim's clothing—is losing his battle to save Christmas from the gays or whatever, and he's blaming the critics.

Europe is home to three things: people who can drink beer and not get fat, house music, and hostels. If you've been planning a trip to Denmark to find the Williamsburg of Copenhagen, but weren't quite sure about the hostel landscape, you're about get super stupid lucky, you silly hipster.

In explaining why a grand jury decided not to press charges against Darren Wilson, St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Bob McCulloch presented what sounded like the defense's version of the incident.

I do not know 21-year-old Alyssa Ferraro of Hooksett, NH, but from what we can gather from her reported arrest by police following a presumably intense game of Monopoly, she's just a woman who needed to tell her boyfriend, "fuck this shit" ("this shit" being "u r cheating at this game") with her hand.

Administrators at New Jersey's Kean University have purchased a $219,000 conference table.

The 20-second Jurassic World teaser released last week was notable for its lack of the one thing everyone really wanted to see: Chris Pratt. We didn't get a glimpse of our Star-Lord and savior until the last of its 20 seconds.

According to the Center for Disease Control, blacks account for almost 50 percent of all new HIV infections among adults and children in the U.S. It is a staggering statistic when you consider blacks represent less than 13 percent of the entire population. Globally, living with HIV and AIDS is a debilitating reality for 35 million people, and an everyday existence for someone you possibly know and love. But the face of the disease today—predominantly black men and women, and "men who like to have sex with men"—has become a matter discussed with less frequency. With that in mind, director Hannelore Williams set out to present a fuller, more vibrant picture of the epidemic thirty years since the virus was first identified.

It was hard to discern who among the throngs crowding the sidewalks last night was in Midtown for justice and who was there for vacation.
