Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
This is what the sky from Earth might look like if TON 618, the second largest known black hole in the universe, were as close as Alpha Centauri, the closest stellar system to our Solar System.
That's 25 trillion miles away from us.
>King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem
>Contracts leprosy as a child
>Takes the throne at 13 to protect the Holy Land
>Saladin marches on Jerusalem with a massive, undefeated army
>Baldwin is 16, physically decaying, can only use one hand to hold a sword
>Rides out with a tiny fraction of the men, gets off his horse, and kneels in the sand in front of the True Cross to pray for victory
>His men are inspired beyond words
>Gets back on his horse, charges the lines, and absolutely obliterates Saladin's army at Montgisard
>Keeps the kingdom safe until his dying breath, commanding from a litter when he can no longer walk
>The ultimate Crusader King
This is the type of leader we need.
This is 18-year-old Chinese basketball star Zhang Ziyu, who stands at 7'3" — the tallest female basketball player in the world.
She's already dominating in China's WCBA league and facing former WNBA players. Draft-eligible in 2027, with many scouts viewing her as a high-upside prospect.
Insane size and presence on the court. 👀
For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.
