Speaking of hysterical, this woman's resignation letter.

Since she participated in the attack on the capitol she is clearly on the extreme right. My concern is the possibly millions of people who aren't crazy enough to attack the capital, but believe the ridiculous things in her resignation letter. That is what is truly troubling... 30-40% of the voting public need "deprogramming"...

Guantanamo is beautiful this time of year.

Some republican politician is busy right now writting a frothing at the mouth speech to say that Bumble is trying to shut Nazi lovers up, so MAGA-loons better go to Bumbles headquarters to fight and take back their freedom to be Nazis while waving the Stars and Stripes and trying to find their Nazi hookups.

No doubt the speech will personally identify and give the home addresses of the principles at Bumble, and be sprinkled with phrases like "String the Up, Make the pay, Teach them a lesson, etc.

If true, this is hilarious.

Another user, immigration attorney Allison Norris, replied. “I know a friend of a friend who changed her preference on Bumble to conservative,” she tweeted. “She’s matching with MAGA bros and they’re bragging and sending her pics and videos of them in the Capitol. She’s sending them to the FBI

There was a very clever "We're going hunting girls" meme going around for a bit there about that.

Though I'd be irate had she been near my kids

I laughed at Ars Technica making this exemption out to be a horrible thing for all of us. Had they done the opposite, and made it play the same game, they would have complained as well. We need to usher in these AI cars so that we can all be chauffeured around the villa at our leisure as fast as possible. Biden should get this done ASAP, or his replacement, Harris. They know the drill.

'Hi! I'm a Saggitarius into Chinese food, sunset walks on the beach, and Treason with a capital T! If you're into the same things, sedition in particular, hit me up!'

This seems to be poorly constructed sentence:

"The dating app Bumble has disabled its politics filter after it was supposedly used to reveal the identities of Capitol rioters, Mashable has reported."

I'm guessing they mean it was to keep "rioters" from finding each other, not that they did so to prevent authorities from identifying them.... at least I hope so.

Nope, it was being used to find rioters. Bumble went and banned them, too, from what the article says. Which means Bumble knows who some of them are and can expect a 'request' for data in that regard.

After the Capitol riots, the FBI asked the public to help identify participants. That led amateur sleuths to pore through apps, including dating sites like Bumble. “There are DOZENS of men on DC dating apps right now who were clearly here for the insurrection attempt yesterday," tweeted NextGen co-chair Alia Awadallah. "Some say it directly, others are obvious from MAGA clothing, location tags, etc."

LOL!

Followed by all those women calling out Bumble for hiding insurrectionists because it disabled the political filter...

ROFL!

Ahem: "Domestic terrorists" or "Seditionists" not "rioters". A riot is a random event of chaos and anger that happens in response to an unpredictable stimulus. The attack on the Capitol was a preplanned event arranged by Donald Trump and GOP organizations, where the participants were invited to DC on a specific date (because our legislators would be gathered together in one place, all at once, deciding the outcome of the election), through emails and phone calls. Once there, a series of speakers riled up the crowd, stating there was to be "trial by combat" and "this is the last chance to take your government back" and pointed the assembled mob at one specific location, which was the building our elected representatives were in. The insurrectionists then stormed that building, seeking out the legislators for punishment or death (per new information released from the DoJ). While there were some clowns in the crowd, there were also people armed with restraints, firearms and other weapons who went directly to preplanned targets. There were also pipe bombs planted around town, and vehicles with pipe bombs and weapons were located nearby for easy retrieval once needed. This was nothing like a riot.
