Sploidus Interruptus

It’s official, and we’re officially sad: Choire Sicha, one half of the shift-memoing-day-drinking-exclamation-point-using-free-associating-headline-generating-web-scouring-breaking-news-crack-smoking editorial team, is leaving Sploid.

Sicha is set to join The New York Observer, leaving behind co-editor Ken Layne and Gawker Media, his employer since August 2003.
