The self-imposed hiatus is still on for akkuza.com. I managed to go through December resisting the temptation to type many a post. 2017 promises to be an even harder time for blogs of this type that exist in the limbo of old-fashioned punditry resisting all types of clickbait-inspired...
Gone Feasting
posted by Jacques René Zammit
The festive season came early here at J’accuse. We forgot to log off and wish our readers all the best. We’ll be back with the New Year. Recharged. Thanks for reading and hanging on with this blog as it starts its 11th year. This has been J’accuse… blogging so...

Illum wara nofsinhar ġej insellimlek. Martek qaltilna ma nilbsux kulur id-dwejjaq. Qaltilna li ma kontx tkun tixtieq, u minkejja li ma nafekx sew naqbel. Biex nilbsu lewn ħsibijietek u tbissimtek inkunu irridu qata’ sew mill-materjal tal-hippies, dawk tal-psikedeliku. Kif għidtlek,...

Yes it has been the silly season and we have taken a step back from the computer screen. Between a marathon of pre-season football frenzy (Britghton, Charity Shield, Metz and Metz again as well as Luxembourg’s great victory against Lithuania) and desperate attempts to enjoy the laid back...
The Knot
posted by Jacques René Zammit
We have been away and will be for some time yet. It’s a special time in the J’accuse family. The younger J’accuse – who is as similar to J’accuse as night is to day – will be tying the knot this weekend. He may be Malta’s topmost podologist (just...
Bitch please

I’ve got to stifle a yawn. Or two. But here goes. 1. I aten’t dead. Just calmer. Cooler. Zen. 2. Fear. Ignorance. They’re still out there. They’re still peddling their stories. they still think fear can get you to twist your thoughts. Sensational taste. They say jump...
8 years of J’a...
posted by Jacques René Zammit
This year’s blogging anniversary for J’accuse was lost amidst the chaos and confusion of a General Election. On the 10th of March 2013, J’accuse turned eight. Eight years of constant blogging have not only been a gratifying experience (for myself of course) but also an...
We were wrong.
posted by Jacques René Zammit
This wouldn’t be a serious blog if I was unable to admit to being wrong whenever necessary (and whenever it proves to be so). A few days ago I blogged about the extra-territorial application of criminal law and in particular about what would be my interpretation of the combined articles...
Kangoo
posted by Jacques René Zammit
One for the Letzeburg residents. I thought of using J’accuse to plug the better half’s more productive hobby/passion. For more information go to the site: www.kangoo.lu . I’ve tried the boots and believe you me… it’s fun (though too much exercise for the likes of...
The J’accuse Wedding Break
posted by Jacques René Zammit
J’accuse is finally tying the knot and it’s seven days to W-day. I’ve dragged this announcement long enough in the hope that I might throw in a few more posts before the final rush and hustle and bustle. The last week will involve an incredibly full schedule and the week after the wedding will (obviously) involve a deserved rest and chill out. Which means that you are being served with an “out of office” notice by J’accuse while we are away tying knots. We will probably be back on the 15th November with the J’accuse column on the Malta Independent resuming on the 20th. For those who follow us on...
Closed for Bachelors
posted by Jacques René Zammit
I’m off to Bologna this weekend. I’m supposed to be looking forward to a weekend of drunken excess since I will be “celebrating” my bachelor’s party. The thing is I’ve never been an enthusiastic participant at this kind of event – I’m more like...
Hack, Hacker, Hacked
posted by Jacques René Zammit
While I was busy posting about hacks yesterday (De Moribus Viator) J’accuse (the blog) was being mightily rogered by some mini-genius hacker. That shot most of the afternoon for me trying to understand why the hell any outside links to J’accuse were being redirected to some weird...
