Catch Of The Week: Your Friend Didn’t Send You That Steam Gift Card

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
Ding! You get a Discord message from someone you know. Maybe it’s a gaming buddy, maybe it’s someone from a community server you both hang out in. The message is friendly, casual, and comes with a link or QR code promising a free $50 Steam gift card. Sounds like a nice surprise, and in this economy we can all use an extra $50, right? That’s a big ol’ nope from me.
This scam has been circulating on Discord for a while now, but security researchers are flagging it with new urgency in 2025 because the tactics have grown more sophisticated and the Read More

Lynne: My Sincere Thanks To The Los Alamos Community
By STEVEN LYNNE
Candidate for County Council
Dear Los Alamos Community,
I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to the entire Los Alamos community. I recently returned from a week in Florida with my wife and daughters for our family reunion. As we watched the primary election results together, I found myself thinking about home and how much this community feels like a family to me. I deeply appreciate your support.
After 28 years of working for the county, including the last three as County Manager, and collaborating with many councils and councilors, this is my first time running for elected office. Read More
Dannemann: Haaland Needs A Broader Message Now

“The next governor must be laser focused on lifting New Mexico out of multigenerational poverty—the driver of all of our societal problems.” I am borrowing that line from a social media comment about the governor’s race.
There’s nothing wrong with being a single mother. But it’s not a sign of greatness either.
It’s a circumstance within the normal range of life’s possibilities. In itself, it is not a proof of qualification for anything else—certainly not the highest office in the state.
That’s why it’s worth noting that this Read More

The State Game and Fish Department stocked a total of 35,445 rainbow trout weighing 17,733 pounds. Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico.
Streamflow in the Rio Grande increased slightly and is still below average to extremely below average in Northern New Mexico. At Taos Junction Bridge, the streamflow Sunday, May 16, was 212 cubic-feet-per-second. The streamflow at Cerro near the Colorado border was 81.4 cubic-feet-per-second. The streamflow at Embudo was 206 cubic-feet-per-second

Fr. Glenn: Can There Be Too Much?
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
It’s funny how easily we toss around extreme phrases: “I gave everything I had?!” “You have to give 110%!!” But do we? Are we truly so generous of ourselves?
On the other hand, if someone were to chastise a parent, a child or a spouse: “You give too much love!”, I think most of us would think such phrase absurd. Love for another is the one thing that should be limitless. Certainly there are better ways than others to manifest love (not enabling self-destructive behavior for one), but, like God who IS love (1 John 4:8), the greatest love is that which has no end. Infinite.

Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday, the First Sunday after Pentecost. In many of our churches we change the paraments (banners, and frontispieces) from the red of Pentecost Sunday to the white used for a special Feast Day. But this annual feast day differs from others.
Trinity Sunday is about our theology, our understanding of the mystery of God. It addresses the basic doctrine of the Trinity held by the Christian Read More
