Catch Of The Week: Prove You’re Human (While Getting Hacked)
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
You know that annoying “I’m not a robot” checkbox you click seventeen times a day without thinking? Turns out, that automatic, muscle memory click is exactly what cybercriminals are counting on. Yikes!
A nasty scam called FakeCaptcha has been making the rounds, and it is disturbingly simple.
You land on a compromised website, a CAPTCHA pops up, you click “I’m not a robot” and without knowing it, a PowerShell script gets copied to your clipboard. The fake verification then walks you through three steps: press Win + R to open the Run dialog, Read More

Op-Ed: Flag Etiquette At NO KINGS
By NEILL GOLTZ
Los Alamos
I am a recent immigrant to the Los Alamos community, but here long enough to have participated 3 times with the local “Indivisible” chapter at the “NO KINGS” rallies at Ashley Pond and along Trinity Drive and Central Avenue.
At a recent chapter meeting, I learned that a number of people in the community were upset with the upside-down display of two or three American flags.
I represent that this expression of my feelings is entirely my own, and in no way is the policy or advocacy of the “Indivisible” organization, or any of its other participants.

New Mexico is the only state legislature where legislators are not paid something like a salary, though they do receive per diem and mileage compensation. This November, a proposed amendment to the state constitution (House Joint Resolution 5) will be on the ballot, asking voters to approve or vote down proposed compensation. You and I will vote on this proposal.
Here’s the problem: The language of the proposed Read More
Home Country: A Duchess And A Truck Driver
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Dud was especially quiet this morning, sitting in his usual seat at the philosophy counter of the Mule Barn truck stop. He was doodling with his napkin and a feed store ball-point pen.
Doc looked over to see if he could make it out. He couldn’t. Bert adjusted his glasses and looked over.
“Murder?” said Bert.
“What?”
“You wrote murder on the napkin,” Bert said. “Did I say something wrong?”
“Naw,” Dud said, blushing a bit. “It’s my book, that’s all.”
“Still having trouble trying to figure it out?” Doc said, kindly.
“The publishing company suggests I outline it first to kinda Read More
Robinson: How Do We Reform CYFD And Care For Unwanted Children?
By Sherry Robinson

What bothers Melissa Beery is that in all of the investigations, lawsuits and reporting on CYFD, nobody captures the day-to-day experience of children in state custody. Too many of these kids are shuffled from place to place—CYFD offices, shelters, the streets—without food, medicine or school. Or the notice of a single caring adult.
Beery is a peer support worker—someone who raised a child with mental or behavioral health issues or development delays and is trained and certified by the state to work with families in the case load Read More
