BREAKING: Sicha Out, Emily Too (From What We Can Tell, But Don't Take It From Us); Nation's Officemonkeys Get Back to Work To Work, Finally

Choire Sicha, rubber bands.

So that happened. What will follow is the proverbial phase of canonization, as happens to any project as grand as Gawker's was: a little horse-trading, playing off of former glories, who-do-you-know and I-know-such-and-such, as old fogies roll off into the mist until the day when we will finally be able to admit to ourselves and one another how truly great it really was. Until then, though, lest we suffer another generation of dotcommers, YM's decided its time is better spent at the races. But while we're there, our money will be on Moe.

Sklar does her inimitable thing here. The Observer reports that both are out. Will n plus 1 do Gawker in for good? Stay tuned, superfriends et al.
