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.
You guys play once a week, we play "almost" everyday.
The pitchers run poles to endure longer outings. Nolan Ryan did them everyday. He played 20 years and was still throwing 95 at 40.
Position players run bases for conditioning in Spring Training. During the season, we don't do much conditioning as an everyday player. Why? Because we play almost EVERYDAY.
Just for myself, I caught 200+ pitches every time I caught. That means I did at least 200 squats every game. (not counting warm ups before game and at start of inning.) If I caught 120 games in a season, that's 24,000 squats I did over the course of the regular season. Plus all of ST, and then the warmups before and during the game.
We play 162 games. Plus Spring training, and then the playoffs if we get there. If you make the WS, you are talking 190+ games. NFL games are brutally violent, and I'm not understating that, but our game is more about endurance and longevity over a 7 month season of daily attrition.
It is a marathon, not a sprint.
In the last 2 weeks, USA has:
- Defeated Socialist Canada (x2)
- Killed the Ayatollah of the oppressive Iranian regime
- Defeated Socialist, gang infested Brazil
- Defeated radical Islam infested England
- still have Venezuela’s president locked up somewhere
I have never seen a country on a heater like this before. We are witnessing history man
“I’m proud to be an American…There's no greater feeling than going out there listening to your national anthem blare over the speakers knowing what you represent."
- Philadelphia Phillies & Team USA OF Bryce Harper
No “mixed emotions”, just 100% proud
Strickland gets the KO. The lads usher in the day of the rake and then immediately cranked up some Tobie Keith and started crushing beers. Yeah, we back at levels not previously thought possible. White Boy Winter has arrived.
Steve Kerr says ICE isn’t arresting violent criminals, they are arresting five year olds & American citizens. This is just a flagrant lie. At some point the NBA & teams have to be held accountable for lies at their contractually mandated press conferences:
