Mad moms: The moose is loose, and don’t mess with her. This week, Colorado Parks and Wildlife issued a warning about potentially aggressive cow moose as they protect their young during calving season. The warning was issued in the wake of three recent attacks, which occurred in Park, Grand and Routt counties.

Handmaiden’s Fail

I like big baths and I cannot lye … Starting June 6, you’ll be able to buy “Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss” for $8, which is soap made with Sydney Sweeney’s actual bathwater. Sweeney, of “Handmaiden’s Tale” and “Black Lotus” fame, said that men have been asking to buy her bathwater, which is “weird in the best way,” so she decided to partner with Dr. Squatch to start selling it in soap form. This soon-to-be washed-up actress probably got the idea from porn-star Belle Delphine, who sold her bathwater back in 2019. Sweeney’s soap also contains sand for “medium grit” and pine bark for a “manly scent,” yet it still doesn’t do anything for the stink of desperation.
