This is a two part story about a man who was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife. He served almost 30 years in prison while fighting for his innocence against an unreasonable justice system in his county.

No, or at least I could never figure out how and I did look for a way to do it.

For 40 Years, This Russian Family Was Cut Off From All Human Contact, Unaware of World War II

In 1978, Russian geologists find a family that has been living in a remote part of Siberia with absolutely no contact from the world. They had no tools, only what they had made out of wood after their metal tools rusted and broke.

Thanks for this. Many of my fondest youthful memories are tied to bookstores.

It has taken a while to figure out what works and what doesn't work, but Gucci men's clothing best represents who I want to be and have become—rocker, edgy, tight, bad boy, hip, stylish, flamboyant, unafraid, raging against the conformity that submerges us into boredom and blandness and the sexless saggy sackcloths that most men walk around in like zombies without the cinematic excitement of engorging flesh.

I own eighty-one leather jackets, seventy-five pairs of boots, forty-one pairs of leather pants, thirty-two pairs of haute couture jeans, ten evening jackets, and 115 pairs of leather gloves. Those who conclude from this that I have a leather fetish, an extreme leather fetish, get a grand prize of zero. And those who are familiar with my choices will sign affidavits attesting to the fact that I wear leather every day. The self-expression feels glorious, an indispensable part of me. As a stranger said after admiring my look in a Gucci burgundy jacquard velvet jacket and a Burberry black patent leather trench, "You don't give a fuck."

I don't. I finally don't.

On the other hand it took a lot of balls to write the article, and he wrote it really really well

it is really good. and really fucking insane.

there's one part where he mentions his bipolar disorder, and another where he delves into his other narcissistic excesses (like googling himself six or seven times a day). he mentions going to therapy for sex addiction because he equates his clothes-buying to sex. it's bizarre that he thinks he's addicted to the clothes themselves instead of what seems to be an obviously deeper issue
