Fr. Glenn: Good Service

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

We had ordinations yesterday—two young men ordained as Catholic priests for the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. While such ordinations are a time for rejoicing in the Church, priests know, too, that it is an undeserved honor and privilege—the most undeserved of all—to be called to priesthood. Like the apostles, there is nothing particularly special about such men; indeed, sometimes we wonder “Why him, O Lord?”. After all, most priests and deacons tend not to be great scholars or particularly outstanding in any sort of worldly way. For example, here in our Archdiocese we have men Read More

This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost, which signifies the official recognition of the Holy Spirit being given to Jesus’ followers and thus consecrating the Christian Church with the presence of a mighty wind, with tongues of fire, and witnessing a sudden ability in all present this moment to hear and understand many different languages speaking God’s Holy Word.

We also this week honor the members Read More

McQuiston: The Hill On The Way Down From Los Alamos … How To Save Your Brakes And Your Nerves

by

By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Serving Los Alamos Since 1963

You’re heading down the truck route or the main hill out of town, the road drops away in front of you, and you can feel the car wanting to pick up speed. So you do what feels natural: you ride the brake the whole way down. By the bottom, there’s a faint burning smell and the pedal feels a little soft. You made it, but something didn’t feel right about how you got there.

If you live in Los Alamos, you make this drive constantly, and the descent is steep enough and long enough that it asks something real of your car. It’s easy to treat it like Read More

Catch Of The Week: Imposter Claude

by

For the Los Alamos Daily Post

If you have been using or thinking about using Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, this one is for you. Researchers at Sophos just published findings on a fake Claude website that has been quietly handing out malware to anyone who clicks “download.” Yikes!

The fake site, “claude-pro[.]com”, looks a little like the real thing. Same general color palette, similar fonts. But it is stripped down and mostly non-functional, which should be a red flag for users that something is fishy.

What it does offer is a download link for something called Read More

Robinson: It’s The Economy, Stupid

Our races for governor have entered stupid territory.

We’ve heard about one candidate’s ride on Epstein’s plane, another candidate’s four homes and a third candidate’s lawsuit challenging universal childcare.

Look away from the mudslinging and focus on issues, and you might notice that Deb Haaland, the Democratic frontrunner with the biggest war chest, has nothing to say about the economy or economic development. Two Republican candidates, Doug Turner and Duke Rodriguez, aren’t much better. Both seem to be saying, “I’m a businessman. Read More
