Almost perfect graphmanship, but for complete realtalk the timeline on the Observer column should squeeze in toward Conde –

@dntsqzthchrmn
This is brilliant, especially the inclusion of the fictional fashion magazine from that movie.

@Tulletilsynet Man, Miranda Priestly has been editing Runway with an iron fist for decades!

When I compare Choire's reign at Gawker to Juan Peron's I only mean it in an affectionate way.

@keisertroll
Affectionate towards which?

keisertroll (#1,117)

@Tulletilsynet Madonna.

@keisertroll
Because nobody ever wrote a musical about Grover Cleveland.

keisertroll (#1,117)

@Tulletilsynet Grover Cleveland was my first choice.

@keisertroll I was thinking more Benazir Bhutto.

keisertroll (#1,117)

@stuffisthings Benigno Aquino was Benazir Bhutto before Benazir Bhutto was cool.

@Tulletilsynet

No one ever got one produced.

Fell sideways out of my seat trying to read this. Don't worry, I'll sue Nick Denton, not you guys.

Kaplan's only mistake was not forming his own publication. I may be speaking in ignorance here, though, since I don't know if he ever tried.

Try editing in New York.

The Observer should have a line at 2006 indicating Trump's son-in-law taking over ownership. This way we can see how things changed since he bought the paper.

SkinnyNerd (#224,784)

@SkinnyNerd It is like six years plus of one editor pre-Kushner, and it is averaging about a year post-Kushner. Not so much a sign of the times as a sign of how much of an assbag your boss is.

Haha, good one. Details doesn't exist anymore, right?

Pre-aughts, but Graydon Carter only lasted ten months at the Observer. Not sure how long Susan Morrison made it for. Historians, come forth.

Aatom (#74)

Needs more Tyler Brûlé.

This is something I need to think more about. Tips For Buying
