Mesos

Every American show I've watched recently that featured Inuit has also featured tongue removal. It was central to the plot of The Terror, and literally the very first depiction of any part of an Inupiat woman in the newest season of True Detective is an amputated tongue just lying on the floor and then we find out that tongue removal is also gonna be a theme of this entire season. It's 2 for 2 on "American shows with Inuit women in it" that has also made a central theme out of removing their tongues. And I know my knowledge of Inuit mythology is sparse as fuck, but I can't think of a genuine myth in which the removal of women's tongues was part. So far the only actual inuit myth stuff has been background stuff, like what might be a reference to a Qivittut (Maybe? Might just be a ghost) and the ocean goddess depicted in a kid's drawing. Possibly a reference to nanoq (Possibly just some generic scary polar bear stuff)?

I think with the theme of the mistreatment of women and the mutilation thing they should lean harder into the ocean goddess connections. Have the main Inuit character serve as a stand in for an angakkoq showing her kindness, combing her hair and cleaning her, which would serve as direct parallel with the way the character is shown to care for her sister. But it's only one episode, I might be prejudging on all of this. Except the tongue thing. The tongue thing is standing out to me.
Like I suppose it's meant to be some sort of allegory for the silencing of native voices or the systematic mistreatment of Inuit women by society, but that's already a whole thing in Inuit mythology, and again would be well represented by stuff actually in the mythos.

I don't know when the association between Inuits and tongue removal was made in TV shows, but at this point it feels a little bit racist.

Think standard multi "entrepreneur" grifter.

YES! Finally! A question that I know something about!

Okay so the actual owner of this company (The greenlandic arm anyway) is Ittu Julius Konrad Karl Heinrich Lilliendahl (Yes that is one name, it's Greenland that's just how it is) who used to do event coordination stuff (And they're going out of business because he fucking sucked at it) and runs a taxi cab company. The reason this is being sold as a green initiative is because that way you get certain benefits from the government.
Their argument is twofold 1: They argue this isn't that bad carbon wise because a lot of shipping containers are empty because of the Greenlandic trading imbalance so this actually makes sense and 2: It's water you guys, that's eco stuff
The guy in the picture is a part owner (like 5% or something) who used to (I don't know if he still does) work as an engineer/handyman/landlord for a company that rents out apartments, does mine engineering consulting and minor construction work called 60 degrees Greenland.
If it gets accepted as a Green transition company it will be done because it's not a fishing boat. Greenlandic corporations have tried selling mines as part of a green transition, it's nuts and I hate it.

Make Trailer Park Boys an entire genre, set the show in the 1970s in apartment buildings in Copenhagen, make the social commentary really, really explicit and most of the problems solved by alcohol and you've got it.

There's a Danish genre (Yes I said genre) of movie/television that has died out which is just working class people living in shitty apartments doing hijinks, mostly to avoid paying rent, renovate their apartments, avoid the authorities discovering their illegal renovations or declaring their shitty apartments unsuitable for habitation so they'll have to move out, and falling in love, and I think such a genre has never been more relevant.

This is racism against the baltic countries I've been told.
