"Manslaughter" is trending because Alec Baldwin, on the set of Rust, accidentally fired improperly loaded blanks at his DP, Halyna Hutchins, and director, Joel Souza
As usual, the "experts" on Twitter have NO fucking idea what they're talking about. Lemme explain why you're dumb: For the love of GOD would Twitter stop talking about shit they know nothing about like they're fucking experts? This isn't the type of thing you chime in on without knowing what happened, someone fucking died here and all ya'll can do is drink the tea because a celeb was involved

@nytimes Thread:
There's a few things ppl in the comments seem to be unclear on, and it's leading them to say very disrespectful things, intentionally or not.
1: Actors are NOT supposed to check the gun. In fact, they're not supposed to do ANYTHING with the gun unless directed to. @nytimes Would you rather have an actor with literally 0 firearms experience check the gun, or a firearms expert? Thought so.

2: This was likely supposed to be a closeup in which Baldwin would fire just to the side of the camera, which would be where the DP and Director would be sitting.

Dave Chappelle has lost his edge, imo. He spends just as much time complaining about not being able to make jokes in his newer specials like The Closer as he does actually making jokes.
#NetflixWalkout is a reaction to an inability to empathize with other people's struggles. One of the last good comedians of the shock-humor oldguard has creatively stagnated and is blaming society for their changing tastes and not his own inability to improve. Like most other shock comedians from his time, the result is a backslide into complaint-based "vent comedy."
