In a broken world, I need my fix of watch repairs | AL Kennedy

In a reasonable world, I wouldn’t care if you told me your crown gasket was rotten or your balance staff awry.

But this is the world where the internet is drowning us in the monetised nightmares of a child’s drawing of a haunted candle.

The great unravelling of Trump is the culmination of so many bad choices.

Liz Truss is courting Trump 's base, too, even as the Maga doorway to fame and fortune drops off its hinges.

The right’s thought experiments are always about death yours and mine.

Prison camps, slavery, torture, nazism, civil war, witch burning, blood libel there isn't a filthy idea the 21st century's public discourse and information overlords haven’t picked at, or swallowed whole.

I prefer the watchmakers, the quiet, ordinary voices describing centuries of determined improvement in form and function, a striving for reliability, precision, usefulness.

Centuries of improvement are what make the world reasonable.
