The wall opened because of a bungled press conference, not a decree. History turns on small mistakes. Keeping this pinned.

@dhistorylab3h
Essentially yes. He said "immediately" when the plan was gradual. The crowds did the rest.

The app is the real Circin, not this sample library — it is new, so there is not much in the feed yet, and it fills as creators publish.
