The first of the Mothra Rebirth Trilogy released in '96 was produced under the supervision of Tomoyuki Tanaka, who produced the original '61 Mothra, as well as every film in the Godzilla franchise for 35 years.

He died of a stroke months after the film's release.

NYP's Page Six retracts Michelle Obama lobster item - Poynter From person-to-person coaching and intensive hands-on seminars to interactive online courses and media reporting, Poynter helps journalists sharpen skills and elevate storytelling throughout their car...

This reminds me of the time Michelle Obama was accused of ordering room service that one time.

It seems like he had a lot of connections in international military industrial complex type relations as well as the child trafficking. So that makes sense.

We have a growing demand for affordable 4+ bedroom units. Its really difficult to squeeze a family of 7 into a 2 or even 3 bedroom. Not to mention potential for code violations if those limits are stretched.

Being unaware of the countless injuries people suffered.

In my profession, lack of awareness isn't a good enough excuse for abandoning protocol or dereliction of duties. We'd get fired for this. Anyone else with a job you are allowed to neglect doing your primary responsibility?

Lack of awareness isn't a good enough excuse in my industry to not get fired for dereliction of duties. We should be done with this guy.

Unfortunately, all the bravery has been with PTA moms, neighborhood dads, random neighbors stretching their kindness and schedules to do a little extra, while almost nothing of the sort is happening in the halls of power.

My work has picked up some spring speed, and I haven't been plugging this enough. Please don't forget to keep taking care of the struggling Minnesota residents from the threats of homelessness. The need is still months behind for thousands of people in the state. West Bank houses many of them.

Hell yea. I mean I know there are underlying points you're probably making here on a professional level, but still.... Hell yea.

Freeing people is just "Good".

I just really like this photo a lot. Great public art. Great job with the bike posed as a character witness as well.

Philanthropy this century isn't making the positive impact it did in the last. I think it is because our elites just suck now, but I can't be sure it isn't more systemic than that.

Indeed. 2X Weekly, in fact. Sunday's they're at Plums in Saint Paul, and either Thurs? or Wed? I forget - at the Aster Cafe in Mpls.

Quality production, which draws quality musicians.

As our struggles and occupation evolve and continue, housing remains the #1 structural foundation of society that keeps people protected. Thanks to everyone who is stepping up with dollars and with ideas and votes and voices. #MNSTRONG

Why, Riverside, of course.

Did you know that outside of downtown, Riverside is the only neighborhood with both Blue & Green access? *nerd*
