Swap your Facebook friends’ baby photos with cats—or bacon
A Google Chrome tool makes it safe to check your News Feed again. Plus, America falls for a fat kid, Agent Provocateur proves too provocative for British authorities, gay employees at Chick-fil-A speak out, we’ve been eating ketchup wrong, and more.
