Abstraction is still possible
Drag-and-drop makes the digital graspable, but building it well is fiddly enough that many don’t bother. Declarative Dragging (with @disconcision.com & @jheer.org, #uist2026 best paper award), lets you make an element draggable just by listing the states dragging it can reach.

whatever agreements they have at a high level of abstraction are not going to countenance the same political tradeoffs and one side's mere opportunity cost is the other side's unconscionable capitulation

Did that trans woman exercise structural power over you, or do you just consider personal irritation to be "exclusion" from some vague abstraction?

Trans people aren't humans. We're an abstraction; an object to be studied, debated, and kicked about like a football. We're just the latest iteration of the Jewish Question, the Negro Problem and Yellow Peril.

This is what turns me off so much about remakes from the HD era onwards. I love how my brain feels when it's filling in details through illusion, abstraction and/or imagination.

When so many details simply ARE. they become noise.
The art becomes extremely masturbatory extremely fast, because its "ideal" form is the same across all mediums - in concept art, fanart, 3D aaand even in cosplay. There is an exact blueprint for What Something Is, not a map that you use to find something together with the author.

recalls the anti-black, slavery-ambivalent northern soldiers who became ardent reconstructionists, in a way. encountering the enemy as a reality instead of an abstraction in the liberal debating salons tends to radicalize.
