Earlier this year, new Bumble CEO Lidiane Jones said in a Fortune interview that Bumble was rethinking women making the first move — the dating app's signature for its ten-year run. Today, Bumble officially announced updates to the "first move," as well as other feature upgrades and a fresh brand identity.
Since Bumble's inception in 2014, only women could message matches first. In the case of same-gender connections, anyone could message first. In 2022, Bumble announced that non-binary...

Let’s grade the draft hauls for all 32 NFL teams.
Grading an NFL Draft is often a difficult exercise.
But it does not mean we will not try.
In many ways, it is an analysis of process rather than results. As you will see in a moment, there might be players that we like in a vacuum, but disagree with when it comes to where they were drafted, when they were drafted, or a combination thereof.
And these grades are a mere snapshot in time, ultimately how...
