Op-Ed: The Facts About Project Jupiter’s Water Usage
By JULIA ROBIN
Head of Infrastructure Planning and Sourcing
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
In southern New Mexico, water is a precious resource that touches everything. It touches families and businesses. It touches agriculture and the food we eat. It touches public health and safety.
And ultimately, it touches the region’s long-term future. We take our responsibility to preserve water very seriously, so we want to help clarify and correct the record about the Project Jupiter’s water use. We updated the project’s power design last month and want to give residents of Doña Ana County the most Read More

An Open Book: Summer Job
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Los Alamos
My Mom finagled my first real job the summer of 1976, joining her at a factory that made Navy lifeboats. On my first day, I was placed at a table in the corner of the factory floor. My task was to put together and shrink-wrap little fishing kits: a few fish hooks, some fishing line, bait made of nasty-looking leathery strips, an instruction booklet, etc. Mowing lawns paid a lot less, but it was outdoors, with the side benefit of a then-healthy-looking suntan. Other than more money, the only advantage of working in a factory that I could think of was that, before iPods or Read More

In this gubernatorial primary, Sam Bregman’s campaign has done something noteworthy. It is worth looking at.
Posted on his website, bregmanfornm.com, is an in-depth document of his policy priorities including a large number of specific action items. It is by far the most detailed such document I have seen on a campaign website.
“Sam’s Blueprint” runs 198 pages in big type. It’s designed as a single PDF document so readers can download it. Most of the statements are easy-to-read bullet points.
This is not an endorsement of Bregman Read More

Maybe it’s a part of becoming an adult, but now I understand what everyone meant
When they talked about it being a
Sheltered,
Quiet,
Town.
Los Alamos is like a ray of sunshine hidden in a dark alley. Sometimes even unnoticed, but too small to see beyond the walls of the buildings surrounding it. Not able to reveal how dark the world could really get.
I moved to Los Angeles
After rehab,
After the drugs,
After realizing the darkest addiction existed in places people call “perfect.”
And now I find myself Read More
Catch Of The Week: That Streaming Renewal Email? Don’t Click It
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
Summer is almost here, and apparently so are streaming subscription phishing emails. This week’s catch landed in my inbox trying to look very official, very urgent… and very fake.
Prime themed phish example
The email claimed to be from PrimeStream, clearly spoofing Amazon Prime. It had the branding, the button, the membership ID, the whole setup. It said payment had failed and subscription expired on May 25 and demanded a click to “Update Payment Details” RIGHT NOW. Today. No time to think.
Here’s the thing. The sender’s address was Read More
