walking under the queensboro bridge as i’m listening to ninajirachi, whose metallic bass blends seamlessly with the overhead train, screeching against steel. my bones reverberate but it is unclear the source. as god intended

arc of the ghostwriting industry:

everyone needed one (2016-2024)
no one needed one (2024-2025)
all the ghostwriters quit or switched careers (2025)
slop became the status quo (2026)
everyone wants a ghostwriter again (late 2026)

perfect illustration of how all desires must be mechanically eroded into existence. you need to force the path into revealing itself for you through the sheer repetition of directing yourself toward the things you want most

if u ask me what i’m thinking about 70% of the time it’s ninajirachi

[mei @aprilxthefool]

@tkkong would love one

working with creative founders is like: they ask u “do u hate it” and u always say no it’s gorgeous but occasionally, when u rly do hate it, u have to say yes

i think it’s obvious why EH wanted nathan to film her in her final days of freedom. this was literally her last at telling her side of the story, with an a24 crew no less.

as nathan points out, she'd turned down plenty of journalists and scientists, and yet she invited a comedian into her home. if her goal is to (1) win sympathy (2) dodge hard questions and (3) gain more fame, why, this might just be the most golden opportunity. all with perfect b roll of her burping her baby at her seaside del mar villa. it’s ideal

[Alex Volkov @altryne]

Fascinating point in the Wired interview w/ @nathanfielder

He still doesn't understand why they wanted him there

the part of YCSE that i can’t stop thinking about is how i felt bad and sympathetic to her,,, like i watched myself be manipulated in real time

[Katie Campione @katie_campione]

One part in YCSE that really broke my brain that I think also illustrates the levels of manipulation is when Amanda feels so bad for intruding on what she feels is a personal moment with Liz on the phone (even though Billy chose to call) that she blurts out like “you’re amazing”

Whenever British people tell me that British food “is not even that bad,” I show them this picture. This is what they tried to serve me at a formal dinner in Oxford!! Straight up BP oil spill on a plate…

[soul nate @MNateShyamalan]

ELIZABETH HOLMES: of course it worked. the lights turned on. it was on the cloud

NATHAN FIELDER: ok. but you know what feelings are, right? like you have them?

[Cris ✨ @lionesspike]

can’t stop thinking about elizabeth saying “i don’t know if i knew” in regards to [redacted] being on the call. like she has fully trained herself to never give a clear yes or no even in a situation with ZERO stakes whatsoever

[John Carreyrou @JohnCarreyrou]

No.

[the freak 🇵🇸 @zoroshappytrail]

and to realize he was actively learning how to pilot commercial airplanes in the middle of all of this is insane

[mei @aprilxthefool]

nathan admits at the end that he cares for her and he’s biased

[danielle @_danielle_carr]

My read of you can see everything is that the final two scenes are fielder saying 1) she got me 2) she got me the same way she got anyone else— by weaponizing her vulnerability

[John Carreyrou @JohnCarreyrou]

A ton of people have asked me for my thoughts about “You Can See Everything,” the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Here they are: https://t.co/2fZL4aMM7d via @NYTimes

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

The key moment is when Elizabeth Holmes is on speakerphone and Nathan asks her if she knew Amanda Seyfried was in the room. Holmes says: "I'm not sure."

What she means is: "I'm not sure if saying yes or no is to my advantage here."
