India's growing role within #BRICS was evident at the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, #Russia, where key advancements in #diplomacy, economic cooperation, and #security initiatives took center stage. Held from October 22-24, 2024, the summit underscored India's balanced approach between East and West. Prime Minister Modi’s engagement with Chinese President Xi Jinping marked a significant diplomatic step, as both leaders agreed to pre-2020 border patrol statuses, signaling a shift toward regional stability.

Piccoletta Concept Art

Piccoletta's concept art! Translation notes and image id under the cut.

Translation notes:

"Yoshitaka Amano" was literally "Amano-sensei." I wanted to convey the respect of the honorific and just "Amano" felt too casual, so I used his full name to sort of make it more formal.

The note about "sparkle charms in her hair" was a little hard to parse - the really literal translation seems to be something like "hair sparkles in charmies" which could theoretically mean "she has charming sparkles in her hair" or "she has sparkle charmies in her hair" or "her hair is charmed to have sparkles in it." I really wasn't sure either way.

"Face of a little imp" was a line that was kind of difficult to make out (just small handwriting). There was definitely something about a little devil/imp, but I wasn't 100% sure about the rest.

"Snobbish" was literally "she turns up her nose" or "her nose turns up". It might have been literally talking about her nose being upturned/pointy, but given the other bullet points, I'm assuming here that it was more talking about her personality.

Image id:

[id: Two pages from the Triangle Strategy artbook about Piccoletta. The first has two versions of her canon portrait, one colored and one uncolored. There is a note at the bottom that reads, "We gave her a more showy design than the main characters since she's a different sort of class. The tentative alias we gave her was "Item Thrower," so looks like we gave her a ball to hold (laughs). (Tatsuaki Urushihara)". On the second page, there are several illustrations of Piccoletta. One note points out her lacy skirt that goes under her dress, and another piece of text labels her boots as "leather." Next to a few drawings of her face, one of which seems to be pouting or reprimanding, there are the bullet points "Face of a little imp," "Precocious young girl," "Snobbish," "Mischevious," and "Paints face white". There is also a note that reads, "Sparkle charms in her hair." Next to a small drawing of her juggling, it says, "Throws all sorts of things". There is also a note that reads, "Item Thrower Character". On the second half of the page, there are more drawings of Piccoletta with a more typical medieval hairstyle. Her skirt is again labeled, and there's another note about her being "a precocious girl." At the bottom of the page there is another note that reads, "I wasn't conscious of it at the time, but this design might have borrowed from the style of Yoshitaka Amano's Final Fantasy art. (Tatsuaki Urushihara)". /end id]

I'd like to point something else out.

The stated intent for the Cuban embargo was to inflict "hardship" that leads the common people to overthrow the government for you. This is similar to the theory behind strategic bombing—make the common people fearful enough that they pressure their government into surrendering to overthrow it.

Neither embargos nor strategic bombing actually do that, though. They make a population scared and miserable and partially dead, but none of that makes them want to surrender. Even if it does, the starving, decimated population may not mave the means to organize and overthrow the government.

This isn't speculation. We know strategic bombing doesn't work. The CIA knows that sanctions don't "meet any of their objectives". But they do it anyways.

Is it because they assume it must work and ignore the evidence? Is it because they want to inflict hardship and the rest is just excuses? Does it matter?

September 2024 in Review

Most frightening and/or depressing story: There is…
