'New Brooklyn' won't die. 'New Brooklyn' is a zombie.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where the New Brooklyn article was born, and what that lousy meme was like, and how news writers were occupied and all before they had a New Brooklyn article written, and all that hipster kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

Unfortunately for me and you, here's The Daily Beast reanimating that whole 'Catskills is the New Brooklyn,' thing.  And here's All Over Albany wonderfully deconstructing that terrible zombie meme.  It should be dead, but it creeps up and scares you all over again when you least expect it.

It could be worse, though. We could be talking about the left shark.  Or both sharks.  Welcome to journalism, everybody.

This post will not go viral

@ivanlajara You go viral more than a slutty college girl.

A four-year old Storify about the ~New Brooklyn ~ is going viral again because people keep posting it on Facebook. Astute readers of Yesterday Internet, Today™ learned on Monday that it was not a recent post. You can brag about that but I wouldn't because that would be weird. Don't be weird.

CNN struck a deal with the FAA about drones and, wait! Does it mean that we're soon going to see drone journalisNO IT DOESN'T.




Good news! You can now send glitter to your enemies. Don't say I don't provide a useful service.

Bad news! You can't curse or buy Snickers in the newsroom at the York Daily Record, a sister pub of the Freeman. Just to make sure I bought a Snickers bar and ate it while cursing. Freedom wins.

One viral cursing cat.

One viral Google Glass photo: How about 290 photos over 6 months?



Yesterday's Internet, Today! is a random experiment in which I throw in a bunch of links I tweeted, faved or saw the day before or in the morning. You also get a cat and a Google Glass photo.
