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. 🕊️🇺🇸
May 27, 1999 — May 28, 2016
Forever in our hearts.
The White House re‑released a video from October 17, 2025.
Journalist: “Maduro offered you everything and even recorded a message to you in English.”
Trump: “He offered everything. You know why? Because he doesn't want to fuck around with the United States.”

Yesterday I noticed the office printer was working perfectly, which raised my suspicion immediately.
I checked the logs and saw someone had cleared a paper jam at 3:12 p.m.
No ticket, no Slack, no communication.
Just silent action.
I asked the office if anyone had fixed it.
Everyone looked confused except one employee, who stared at his laptop a little too hard.
I pulled him aside afterward.
He admitted he unjammed it because “it was right there” and “took five seconds.”
I told him unilateral problem-solving disrupts our culture of collaboration and that he needed to go through the right channels if he wanted to take on a new project outside of his job description.
He said he didn’t realize fixing things was a chain-of-command issue.
I told him everything is a chain-of-command issue.
I wrote down “rogue operational autonomy” and locked the printer tray.
Mike Elko knew Texas A&M had set number of bad plays left to make this season and opted to take the big bath and get them all out of the way in one game.
This kind of strategic thinking is why he earned a six-year extension.
